Exploratory Electromagnetic Transient Study on the adoption of grid forming (GFM) battery energy storage system (BESS) technology
Exploratory Electromagnetic Transient Study on the adoption of grid forming (GFM) battery energy storage system (BESS) technology
This presentation discusses an exploratory electromagnetic transient (EMT) study of the potential reliability and stability benefits of more widespread adoption of grid forming (GFM) battery energy storage system (BESS) technology. The study tests actual original equipment manufacturer (OEM) models against the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) GFM functional specifications, and then tests the reliability...

Neuroethics Lecture by Prof. Lomax Boyd (JHU): Engineering ‘intelligent’ neural systems: Insights from ethics and evolutionary neuroscience
Neuroethics Lecture by Prof. Lomax Boyd (JHU): Engineering ‘intelligent’ neural systems: Insights from ethics and evolutionary neuroscience
Abstract: BEGIN OI aims to engineer biological neural systems for computation. These neuromorphic technologies may help advance our understanding of human cognition, build more energy efficient computing systems, or solve complex problems typically associated with embodied intelligence. Yet bioethicists argue that if such entities become conscious, they have ‘moral status’, which places limits on research.... Read more

Stability Modelling and Analysis of Converter Driven Power System
Stability Modelling and Analysis of Converter Driven Power System
The number of power electronics converters connected to electrical networks has been growing exponentially as they are part of all new generation connected to the grid. While the rapid control and fast electronic switching available with this technology offer flexibility in network operation, the dynamic interactions between several of them threaten the operational stability of...
