Brew with the Crew: Representation & Impact of Hydrological Conditions on Power System Planning & Operation
1175 Pier View Dr, Idaho Falls, Idaho, United States, 83402, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/489811Join us for the upcoming technical talk —attend in person at Stockman’s Restaurant or virtually via (https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_MGYxYTkzNmMtMzg0MS00MjdjLTkwYmMtOWNkMWMwNjMzOWFi%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%224cf464b7-869a-4236-8da2-a98566485554%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%2264d770c8-e8c2-4ef1-b2f4-1e7ebd03bd37%22%7d) Title: Hydropower Representation in Bulk Power System Models: Current Practice and Implications on Planning and Operation. Abstract: As inverter-based resources grow and synchronous generators retire, the grid loses not only inertia but also essential ancillary services. Hydropower can help fill this gap, but accurate planning requires utilities to understand and model its capabilities. Currently, gaps exist in how hydropower plants are represented—many units lack modeled frequency response or omit governor data, and hydrological constraints are often excluded. This talk highlights efforts to address two key gaps: (a) incorporating hydrological data, and (b) accurately modeling response capabilities in steady-state and dynamic simulations. The impact of these improvements on system planning and reliability will be discussed, with contributions from PNNL and V&R Energy. Speaker: Soumyadeep Nag Soumyadeep is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Idaho National Laboratory, affiliated with the Grid Integration and Controls Research group. His research focuses on problems involving the control, operation and planning of power systems, while considering the impact of variable and non-dispatchable generation on the power system. He is actively involved in multiple collaborative projects funded by the Department of Energy's Waterpower Technologies Office and has also worked previously with the DOE's Solar Energy Technologies Office. Soumyadeep earned his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Baylor University, Texas, under the mentorship of Dr. Kwang Lee, with a focus on enhancing power system resilience through advanced pumped storage hydropower. He serves the Eastern Idaho IEEE PES Chapter and is also a member of the Golden Key International Honor Society. 1175 Pier View Dr, Idaho Falls, Idaho, United States, 83402, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/489811
Brew With The Crew
Brew with the Crew (BWTC) is a collaborative lecture series hosted by the Idaho National Laboratory and the Eastern Idaho IEEE Section. Each BWTC focuses on a different technology and topic, giving attendees opportunities to gain exposure to research, technology, and industries they might not encounter in their day-to-day work. This event is normally hosted at Stockman's in Idaho Falls at 5PM in the 2nd floor event rooms. Appetizers are provided. These events will be filled with additional details as they are finalized. Please be aware that the time and date may be subject to change.
IEEE Eastern Idaho Section – Town Hall
Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/487445The second Virtual Town Hall opportunity for all members to connect, share ideas, and engage with the section leadership. 🗓 Date: June 18th, 2025 🕒 Time: 7PM to 8PM; MST 💻 Location: Online (Google Meet – https://meet.google.com/thb-uqbp-exy) This session will include: – Updates on section activities and initiatives – Opportunities for involvement and leadership – Open Q&A – Your feedback on how we can better serve you Whether you're a long-time member or new to IEEE, your voice matters. We hope you'll join us to help shape the future of our section. If you have any questions or topics you'd like to see addressed, feel free to email Scott Heller at the email below. We look forward to seeing you there! Warm regards, Scott Heller IEEE Eastern Idaho Section Chair [email protected] Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/487445
