Webinar: Grid Forming E-STATCOM
Webinar: Grid Forming E-STATCOM
Presented by: Sergey Kynev, Siemens Energy This webinar: The E-STATCOM (Enhanced Static Synchronous Compensator) is introduced as a cutting-edge solution leveraging grid-forming (GFM) technology. We will explore its technology overview, control structure, and methods to measure its grid-forming capabilities. Rather than merely stating whether a device is GFM, we will quantify its benefits through metrics such as inertia and short circuit power. The webinar will also present comparative plots illustrating the performance differences between GFM and grid-following systems. By the end, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how E-STATCOM can significantly improve grid resilience and reliability, making it a pivotal component in modern power systems. Presenter bio: Sergey Kynev received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Power Transmission Systems from St. Petersburg Polytechnical University, Russia, in 2008 and 2010, respectively. He joined Siemens Germany in 2011 as a System Engineer and later became a Lead Engineer at Siemens Energy in Raleigh, NC, focusing on grid stability, renewable integration, and advanced power electronics, contributing actively to IEEE and driving innovation in the energy sector.

Webinar: High Power Grounding
Webinar: High Power Grounding
Abstract: This presentation tracks the progress of electrical grounding design in the United States over 150 years, from simple use of electrodes (ground rods) in the 1800s to the modern US ground grid, and the misnomer term “leakage” current from conductors into the soil. Emphasis is placed on intellectual discussions about the transmission of grounding energy into the soil via various shaped conductors, including round cables, flat plates, round rods, and flat strips from about 1936 to 1953, which resulted in a variety of ground grid designs ranging from 1/0 copper to 500 kcmil. A new class of flat composite strip conductors is explored with benefits that challenge the predominance of round 4/0 copper cable by addressing some of the familiar issues, including theft, buried corrosion, and breakage… and driving the transmission of fault current into the soil, instead of “leaking” it there.
