Webinar on 10/18/2023: Creating and Validating Dynamics Models for Synthetic Electric Grids

Electric grid analysis and design relies on robust modeling and simulation capabilities, with time-domain dynamics and stability studies a key aspect. This webinar will focus on recent work done at Texas A&M on the topic of building synthetic datasets to spur innovation in this area. Actual electric grid models, particularly models with parameters for running

Webinar on 9/29/2023: Geomagnetic Disturbance Analysis: Large-Scale Storm Modeling and Automating GIC Analysis

Geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs) caused by solar coronal mass ejections can induce quasi-dc currents in the ac power grid, potentially leading to harmonics, transformer heating, and increased reactive power losses in the system. Voltage collapse has been recognized as the key risk posed by these geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) the grid. This talk will first briefly

Short Course “Electric Grid Impacts of Geomagnetic Disturbances” will be Held at TAMU on November 1-2, 2023 – Registration is Open

Geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs), caused by solar coronal mass ejections, have the potential to significantly impact the operation of the high voltage electric grid by causing geomagnetically induced currents (GICs).  Over the last decade there has been significant research, industry interest, and regulatory concern about the impact of GMDs on the high voltage electric grid.  The

Registration is Open for the Short Course “Primer on the Planning and Operation of Large-Scale Electric Grids” to be Held at TAMU on October 24-26, 2023

Electricity is the lifeblood of our modern society, and for most this electricity is supplied by large-scale, interconnected electric grids.  Engineered as the ultimate in plug-and-play convenience, the wall outlet is actually the gateway to the world’s largest and most complex machine.  The goal of this course is to provide a comprehensive introduction for those
