Title: Resource Adequacy While Grid Transition Towards Carbon-Neutral Electricit
Abstract: Decarbonizing electric power generation would lead to achieving major reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. This, however, needs to be accomplished in a timely fashion while maintaining reliability that the customers have got used to. The planning process for such a change is critical. The current planning practices for resource adequacy are based on firm capacity resources. The introduction of renewable resources and resources like storage and demand response are game changers. This talk takes an “electric grid-centric” viewpoint and discusses some of the issues that need to be understood and solved for a successful transition so that reliability of the grid at various levels can be maintained.
Bio: Chanan Singh is a University Distinguished Professor, Regents Professor and Irma Runyon Chair Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, USA.
