The podcast where we dive deep into the dynamic world of energy, technology, and the innovative solutions that make our world a better place!
Our fourth episode of ‘Charging Ahead with Utilicast’ is on FERC Order 2222.
In summary, FERC Order 2222 is a rule requiring ISOs and RTOs in the U.S. to develop plans that give Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) access to wholesale energy markets.
In this episode, Raja R. Iyengar, our DERMS Solution Lead, will describe what FERC Order 2222 is, the DER aggeration concept, and how Utilicast can support utilities respond to this ruling.
Our third episode of ‘Charging Ahead with Utilicast’ is on NERC MOD-030. The purpose of MOD-030 is to increase consistency and reliability in the development and documentation of transfer capability calculations for short-term use performed by entities using the Flowgate Methodology to support analysis and system operations.
This episode provides an overview of NERC MOD-030 methodology and how the enhancements it recommends benefit both consumers and providers of transmission service providers.
Our second episode of ‘Charging Ahead with Utilicast’ is on FERC Order 881. FERC Order 881 requires transmission providers to implement ambient-adjusted ratings (AAR) to determine the maximum transfer capability of their transmission lines for near-term transmission services.
In this episode, we address the challenges and implications stemming from FERC Order 881 and Utilicast’s recommendation on the best path forward for utilities to achieve minimum acceptable AAR capability and thereby come into compliance.
