2022 | 2022 TechAdvantage® ExpoLocation: NashvilleBooth: 943 TechAdvantage is the premier event for electric cooperative engineering, operations, information technology, purchasing and supply management professionals. Three days of leading-edge strategies and best practices created to share and demonstrate advantages in science, technology and other industry areas. Creating the Digital Twin for Greater Situational Awareness and Grid Modernization: The PenLight Story March 7, 2022, at 9:45 AM Amy Grice, Chief Operating Officer, Peninsula Light Company Abstract: Maps and schematics are a mainstay of monitoring power distribution networks and restoration efforts. PenLight has worked towards creating a “digital twin” of their grid. The foundation is the integration of GIS data with their SCADA to create a centralized, constantly-updated network model. PenLight will share import best practices and discuss how integrating GIS data with SCADA has improved situational awareness and decision making, enhanced flexibility, and helped prepare for a full ADMS deployment with applications including OMS and FLISR. Include DER into your Distribution Network – Drivers and Considerations March 7, 2022, at 9:45 AM Herschel Arant, VP of Engineering & Power Supply, Central Georgia EMC Abstract: With growing demand to include DER in the generation mix and the complexity to include DER on the grid edge, utilities must conduct due diligence and build a business case for DER options. This session will cover lessons learned by incorporating DER and using ADMS functionality to successfully integrate DER into the distribution grid. Central Georgia EMC will discuss how the utility was able to integrate DER and storage assets, and considerations to include DER in the distribution generation mix. Rotational Load Shedding: Be Prepared for the Worst March 8, 2022, at 11:00 AM Shaun Chronister, Manager of Engineering Farmers Electric Cooperative Abstract: When 2021 winter storms decimated Texas’ power supply, Farmers Electric Cooperative was ready, with a pre-configured Rotational Load Shedding (RLS) system. Once the order came to shed load, the utility only had to start the application and RLS automatically managed 10-minute rolling blackouts for 3 days. Attend this session to learn why Farmers EC implemented RLS, how it benefited the control room, and how they configured their system to meet massive load shedding targets with minimal disruption to their customers.

2022 | Electricity, Distribution, Information Systems and Technology (EDIST)Location: Hilton Toronto/Markham Suites Conference CentreBooth: 65 Panel Discussion: Multi-Market Model for better Visibility and Co-ordination between System Operators and Distribution Utilities June 2, 2022 at 2 PM Panelists: - Patrick Lo, Senior Manager, Partnerships, IESO - Jeff Mocha, VP Innovation & Transformative Growth, Oakville Hydro - Dorothy Moryc, VP Stations and Planning Engineering, Waterloo North Hydro - Young Ngo - Moderator Abstract: A consortium of Ontario utilities is working to develop a proof-of-concept platform that exchanges and aggregates distribution utilities’ ADMS and DERs data in real-time. The goal of the platform, which is funded by the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) of Ontario’s Grid Innovation Fund, is to provide the Province of Ontario with additional options to improve electrical system reliability, and greater choice of affordable energy suppliers for Ontario ratepayers. Oakville Hydro, London Hydro, Elexicon Energy, Waterloo North Hydro, and Survalent are participating in the pilot project to enable visualization, reporting, management, and control of DER assets.
