    EESAT has been the premier technical forum for presenting advances in energy storage technologies and applications since 2000. This forum is sponsored by the IEEE Energy Storage and Stationary Battery (ESSB) Committee, under the IEEE Power and Energy Society, with continuing support from the DOE Office of Electricity and the national laboratories.

  • IEEE PES Webinar: Fault Characteristic Evaluations of Hybrid GFM/GFL Inverters

    Presented by: Dr. Shuhui Li, University of Alabama This webinar: Part 1 of 2 – This session focuses on grid-forming (GFM) and hybrid GFM/grid-following (GFL) inverters. It first provides a detailed investigation of GFM inverter behavior under both balanced and unbalanced fault conditions, directly linking their responses to inherent operating principles and control strategies. It then examines how the capacity ratio between hybrid GFM and GFL inverters affects stability, power quality, and fault-current availability in an islanded, 100% inverter-based microgrid. Using high-fidelity EMT simulations, the webinar analyzes the authentic dynamic performance of hybrid GFM/GFL inverters during fault events. Overall, the webinar aims to clarify key fault-response characteristics of GFM and hybrid GFM/GFL inverters, offering valuable insights to support commissioning checks, improve post-event diagnostics, and guide the development of robust protection strategies for inverter-dominated grids and microgrids. Presenter bio: Dr. Shuhui Li (Senior Member, IEEE) earned his B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from Southwest Jiaotong University in Chengdu, China, in 1983 and 1988, respectively. He obtained his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX, in 1999. He joined the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, AL, in 2006 and is currently a full professor there. He received the IEEE Standards Association’s Emerging Technology Award for his contributions to IEEE Std. 2800-2022. His current research interests include renewable energy systems, power electronics, power systems, electric machines and drives, and the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in power and energy systems. Dr. Li is a senior member of IEEE and the National Academy of Inventors. He is the chair of the Renewable Technologies Subcommittee and the subgroup lead of the Workforce Initiative of the IEEE Power & Energy Society.

  • IEEE PES Webinar: IEEE C37.109 – Introduction to Shunt Reactors – Part 1

    Presented by: Kamal Garg, Ilia Voloh, Pratap Mysore, Pratap Consulting Services, LLC. Gary Kobet, Tennessee Valley Authority This web-based tutorial: Introduces the revised guide IEEE C37.109-2023 Guide for Protection of Shunt Reactors. Tutorial 1- Focus on the basics of shunt reactors, application, design and construction details. Shunt reactor applications can be line or bus connected reactors and tertiary connected reactors. Line connected reactor types and configurations considered include dry-type, oil immersed, wye-connected, directly grounded, or grounded through a neutral reactor. Tertiary connected reactors are dry-type ungrounded Wye connected to the tertiary winding of a power transformer.

  • Energy Regulation 101

    Hilton National Mall The Wharf 475 L'Enfant Plz SW, Washington, DC, United States

    High-level introduction to how regulation of the energy sector is structured in the US (e.g., state versus federal, vertically integrated versus restructured states, integrated resource planning, utility cost recovery, etc.). This would be intended for individuals coming in with very limited knowledge of the topic. Instructors: Will McNamara, Sandia National Laboratories and Ted Ko, Energy Policy Design Institute. This tutorial will be presented at the IEEE PES Energy & Policy Forum, 23-26 March 2026 in Washington, D.C.

  • Cost of Service Regulation vs. Performance-Based Regulation

    Hilton National Mall The Wharf 475 L'Enfant Plz SW, Washington, DC, United States

    (2 hours, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.) NARUC has developed an interactive, discussion-based game to teach decision makers and stakeholders about utility business models and decision making. In the game, you will run a utility for five, two-year planning periods (10 years total). In each period, players can choose to build or contract for generation; build transmission, distribution, and flexibility resources; and institute or respond to new policies in vertically integrated and restructured environments. The MegaModel Excel-based platform shows how these decisions impact customer bills, reliability (minutes of outages), earnings per share, and air emissions (carbon dioxide). Instructors: Danielle Sass Byrnett, NARUC Center for Partnerships & Innovation and Rim Baltaduonis, Stanford University. This tutorial will be presented at the IEEE PES Energy & Policy Forum, 23-26 March 2026 in Washington, D.C.

  • State Practices for Distribution System Non-Wires Alternatives (NWAs)

    Hilton National Mall The Wharf 475 L'Enfant Plz SW, Washington, DC, United States

    (2 hours, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.). This session will include state practices (legislative, regulatory and engineering specific to Distribution NWAs). Instructors: Lisa Schwartz and Guillermo Pereira, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; Cody Davis, Electric Power Engineers; and Soumya Tiwari, EPE Consulting. This tutorial will be presented at the IEEE PES Energy & Policy Forum, 23-26 March 2026 in Washington, D.C.

  • Energy storage regulation 201: Mapping Process for Regulation

    (2 hours, 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.) This session would provide a deeper dive into how state regulators can approach developing an energy storage policy framework and/or reflecting on the framework that is in place. Instructors: Will McNamara and Ted Ko Market Structures Market Segments: FTM-T, FTM-D, BTM Energy Storage Use Cases Policy Topics Policy advancement levels (“crawl, walk, run”) aka Policy Readiness Level (PRL) State of Your Market: What Use Cases are enabled + How advanced are the current policies (what’s the state’s PRL on this topic) This tutorial will be presented at the IEEE PES Energy & Policy Forum, 23-26 March 2026 in Washington, D.C.

  • Demystifying Transmission Planning and Grid Enhancing Technologies (GETs)

    (2 hours, 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.). Instructors: Juliet Homer, and Jeremy Twitchell, and Eran Schweitzer, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. This tutorial will provide attendees with a practical understanding of electrical transmission planning requirements, modeling, and decision-making processes. We’ll also provide an overview of grid-enhancing technologies (GETs) and how they can be applied. This course will distill the technical complexities of transmission planning into foundational principles, helping attendees better understand how transmission planning processes work. This presentation will cover the background and drivers for modern transmission planning, the entities involved in the planning process and their respective roles, where to access transmission planning information, how to get involved in the process, and what happens when the plan is complete.  Participants will also walk away with a basic understanding of GETs—what they are, how they work, and how they can (and can’t be) integrated into transmission planning. This tutorial will be presented at the IEEE PES Energy & Policy Forum, 23-26 March 2026 in Washington, D.C.
