Key Considerations for Adoption of Technical Codes and Standards for Battery Energy Storage Systems
-
Hosted on June 30, 2021, this webinar, based off a recently published technical report from NREL, presents global best practices of codes, standards, and interconnection procedures developed to support the safe and reliable deployment of battery energy storage systems (BESS) and a recently published USAID Clean Power Asia report from Hawaii Natural Energy Institute (HNEI), that builds off the NREL technical report to provide guidelines for developing BESS technical standards by referencing current international BESS related codes and standards.

Transmission Planning for a High Renewable Energy Future: Lessons from the Texas Competitive Renewable Energy Zones Process
-
The webinar provided an overview of the Texas Competitive Renewable Energy Zones (CREZ) process, including the regulatory, procedural and technical considerations that were critical to its successful implementation in Texas. The webinar also introduced a Renewable Energy Zones “Toolkit” developed through a USAID and NREL partnership and intended to guide other power systems in adapting elements of the CREZ approach to their own power system planning processes.

Building Blocks for Distributed PV Deployment, Part 1: Goals, Definitions and Compensation
-
Due in part to the low cost of photovoltaic system hardware and scalability for deployment, grid-connected distributed photovoltaic (DPV) technologies are increasingly permeating global power markets. While this trend could help substantially reduce the carbon footprint of global power generation, empower citizens across the socio-economic spectrum, and expand local PV markets, there are a number of technical and policy issues—especially in countries that have limited technical resources and need to “get things right” the first time.

Big, Fast, and Flexible: Grid Operations for Efficient Variable Renewable Integration
-
A growing body of research and operational experience highlights the value of large balancing areas and fast system operations to cost-effectively integrating high penetrations of wind and solar on the grid. This webinar provides an overview of the "big and fast" concept for efficient integration of variable renewables to the grid. Following a brief introduction to the basics of power system operations and power system flexibility, the webinar presents various methods and examples of pathways for moving towards larger balancing areas and faster dispatch under different institutional contexts.
