Latest Grid Transformation
Proof-of-Concept Case Studies
Developing a potential solution for Security Constrained Unit Commitment (SCUC) that incorporates multi-interval look ahead for Energy Storage Resources, so that charge is available when needed most
Energy Storage Resource Energy Sufficiency
Developing a platform to aggregate distributed energy resource (DER) information in a single platform, pulling information from aggregators, individual DERs, and other sources and also providing analytics/situational awareness
ERCOT Distribution Awareness Platform (EDAP)
Studying if reactive power can be optimized across multiple time intervals, minimizing capacitor/tap switching while keeping voltage within bounds
Reactive Power Optimization
Demonstrating the feasibility of using phasor measurement units (PMUs) to measure real-time system strength and inertia
Inertia and System Strength Measurement
