General
| All | S&C’s Consulting and Analytical Services Department focusses on providing power system consulting and technical support in a wide range of power system studies and dynamic simulation model development. In transmission system studies, S&C engineers are actively involved in power system modeling, power flow and contingency analysis, transfer limit analysis, transient and dynamic stability analysis, system voltage stability analysis, system reliability assessment, and renewable resource model development. S&C has worked with Independent System Operators (ISOs), Regional Reliability Organizations (RTOs), Transmission Service Providers (TSPs), and generation and transmission project developers to perform transmission expansion planning studies and generation interconnection studies and reactive compensation sizing studies to meet interconnection requirements in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. In addition, S&C engineers have been involved in system reliability assessment (deterministic or probabilistic), multi-area generation reliability assessment, reactive power planning (P-V and Q-V curve analysis, optimal power flow and long-term dynamic simulation), renewable energy resource integration, and HVDC and FACTS application studies. Furthermore, S&C engineers have developed and validated dynamic simulation models for renewable resources (wind, solar, storage, etc.) and other devices such as power plant controllers (PPCs) and FACTS devices (STATCOMs and SVCs) in various power system analysis software programs including Siemens PSS®E, PowerGEM TARA, GE PSLF™, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, PSCAD, ATP, and EMTP-RV. S&C has been conducting transmission system modeling and studies as well as generation interconnection studies for over 20 years. |

| All | Sandia’s Distributed Energy Technology Laboratory (DETL) is a research facility that studies grid integration of energy technology including PV inverters, WTG, and ESS. The Opal-RT RT simulator and PHIL equipment allows integrating power converters into RT simulation models of power systems that represent the bulk grid. DETL will be used for testing the VPP using its PHIL platform, testing the controls on commercial solar, wind and storage devices.
DETL has the capability to conduct tests on utility-scale equipment by using utility and surge simulators, high-power waveform analyzers, and related test equipment that includes the following: • 180 kVA Ametek AC grid simulator RS180 • 200 kW Ametek TerraSAS PV simulator with up to 20 individual outputs • 100 kW high-voltage NH Research battery simulator • 48 kW low-voltage NH Research battery simulator • 280 kVA/225 kW diesel generator with grid-interconnection controller • OPAL-RT power hardware-in-the-loop system • Motor control center-based microgrid • 100 kVA, 30 kVA grid-forming inverters • 320 VA microinverter test bed • High-fidelity inverter model development and validation • Wind turbine physical motor-generator • IP-based communications emulator
GLEAMM/GNIRE/SWiFT Hybrid Power Plant is a collaboration between Sandia, TTU and GNIRE, located in Lubbock, Texas and connected to the SPEC system. The hybrid power plant resources include a 150 kW solar array, a 600-kW wind farm, multiple distributed phasor measurement units (PMUs) to monitor the grid, a 500-kW diesel generator, a 50-kW / 400-kWh energy storage system, and a control building fully instrumented with voltage and current sensors for data acquisition and a local meteorological station. This site also has a 2.7 MW wind turbine. |

| Topic Areas 1 and 2 | EMT simulation is already too compute-intense even for today's microgrids or solar/wind power plants; EMT simulation at the scale needed for imminent solar/wind plants will be impractically compute-intense. XFR is developing capabilities exploiting the power of advanced math and GAI to simulate EMTs at the needed scale much more effectively, with sanity checks built in, targeted initially at interconnection planning but soon for dynamic contexts. XFR has ground-breaking AI/analytic expertise but modest energy-grid expertise and no access to operational grids and seeks partner(s) who can provide these last two.

| Topic 1: Improved Efficiency of EMT Simulations for Interconnection Studies of IBRs | I am interested in contributing to the reduction of overall engineering time by a factor of ten for EMT studies. My approach is to 1) extend the Common Information Model for Dynamics (CIM Dynamics) with management of dynamic link library (DLL) "real code" IBR models and other data necessary for automating EMT network model management, and 2) extend the model validation and study automation scripts that were developed for the NERC/i2X EMT Bootcamp in 2023. Both elements would leverage prior DOE funding, and may complement larger teams that focus on other aspects of Topic 1, such as computational efficiency, screening criteria, training materials, etc.
I have decades of experience with EMT studies and co-led the 2023 NERC/i2X EMT Bootcamp, including the automation scripts. I've developed many code models and have implemented part of the CIM-based network model workflow using ATP. I currently participate in related IEEE standards and the NERC EMT Task Force. |
