Interested in the evolution of grid dynamics? Watch our webinar, “Hydro-Electric contribution to a stable grid in light of a changing generation profile” to learn about this and more. You’ll join industry experts as they discuss the shift toward renewable resources and related issues for the power industry.
The experts dive into drivers changing the electricity grid, such as wind and solar, electric vehicle deployment, rooftop solar battery systems, and environmental policy; essential reliability services like short circuit strength and fault current as they relate to hydro power; and emulation vs. simulation.
You’ll gain access to expert insights:
- Hear Dr. Stuart Cohen discuss why the future of electricity mix is uncertain, and see his predictions for 2030 and 2050 with possible market outcomes; see forecasts for how revenue streams related to hydropower could change based on high vs. low renewable cost scenarios.
- Watch Dr. Ryan Quint describe increasing renewables penetration and see predictions for the future of inverter-based and synchronous instantaneous resource mixes; hear him explain why hydro as a blackstart resource is beneficial.
- Learn from Dr. Rob Hovsapia about next-gen tools and their capabilities, as well as the challenges ahead; see him break down the digital twin for hydropower and operation and design.
Key Learnings from this webinar cover:
- How hydro power plays a key role in electricity dispatch and flexibility today.
- The modernization of hydro-power and the variables pushing the change, including new market and reliability services that need a faster and more dynamic response.
- Reactive capabilities and reactive control with hydro (with photo and graph examples).
- How curtailment reduction could be an opportunity for pumped storage hydro-power
