IEEE PES Schenectady Chapter Webinar (Virtual) on Open Access and Interoperable Modeling and Simulation Technologies for Power Systems (Thu., Feb. 02, 2023 at Noon)

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/343695

IEEE PES - Schenectady Chapter is excited to host a virtual webinar on the topic of "Open Access and Interoperable Modeling and Simulation Technologies for Power Systems". This technical presentation will also offer one (1) continuing education credits (PDH). The PES chapter would like to invite you to participate and learn from a well know power system modeling researcher and expert. Speaker: Prof. (Dr.) Luigi Vanfretti form RPI. Cost: - $10 for IEEE Members (Includes 1 PDH credit) - $15 for Non-IEEE Members (Includes 1 PDH credit) - Free for General Admission (No PDH credit) - Free for Student and Graduate Student Members (No PDH credit) (All payments must be received by February 01, 2023). Time: Thursday, February 02, 2023 at 12 PM, EDT Reserve your seat by clicking on the below Register Now Tab. "The event link will be shared on 1st February, 2023". Abstract: Modeling and simulation is essential for a myriad of power engineering functions, from planning power grid expansions, to real-time market operations. However, existing modeling and simulation technologies lack portability requiring reimplementation and creating ambiguity, while locking-in data and analysts to specific tools. The open access Modelica language offers a new paradigm, the ability to build object-oriented equation-based models, supported by multiple tools and advanced modeling constructs. This has the potential of drastically reducing modeling costs, especially those required to meet the rapid changes that power grids are undergoing to introduce more renewable energy sources. The seminar will introduce the Modelica language and the OpenIPSL.org library for power system dynamic modeling and simulation and the strategies adopted for modeling quality and to foster adoption which include: open source development, software-to-software verification using de facto industry tools, model maintenance and model transformation tools from proprietary model descriptions and data exchange standards, all enabled thanks to the Modelica language. In addition, the talk will describe some on-going research where the power of open-access standards enable us to quickly prototype solutions for evolving use-cases where modeling and simulation is needed thanks to the efforts in developing the OpenIPSL.
