IEEE Power & Energy Magazine - March/April 2022 - 5

The sixth article in this issue describes
the potential for using small modular
reactors (SMRs) as a critical part of remote
renewable microgrids. It reviews
the various SMR types under development
and presents an analysis on how an
SMR could be integrated into a remote
microgrid with wind, solar, and battery
energy storage to significantly lessen the
battery energy storage requirements when
wind and solar resources are not available.
At the back of the issue, the " In My View "
column returns to the DER-based NWA
theme, discussing how DER opportunities
relate to increases in power system
flexibility and resilience as well as the
alignment of environmental, regulatory,
and business goals.
Society Meetings
and Awards
Feeling a bit stir crazy at the inability
to mingle with your peers after two
years of COVID-19 restrictions?
Vice President
of Meetings Wayne
Bishop is ecstat ic to
announce that two major
IEEE Power & Energy
Society (PES) conferences
are preparing
for in-person at tendance.
Bishop invites
you to the Transmission
and Distribution Conference
on 25-28 April
2022 in New Orleans,
Louisiana, and the PES
General Meeting on
17-21 July 2022 in Denver, Colorado.
Read about what is being planned in the
" Leader's Corner " column and get ready to
look presentable at the opportunities to see
your colleagues again.
The " Awards " column presents the
PES members elevated to the class of
Ralph Masiello
and Amin
Khodaei have
assembled
a fine set of
authors to
cover a broad
range of NWA
perspectives.
IEEE Fellows for 2022.
We recognize each recently
named Fellow
along with a statement
of his or her contribution.
The grade of IEEE
Fellow is attained by
a select few individuals.
Congratulations
to those awarded this
prestigious designation.
History
On 12 Apr i l 1922, a
new ac dist r ibut ion
method was proven on
Manhattan's Upper West Side (New
York, United States). It determined
the future of urban distribution and remains
its backbone today. On that day,
the United Electric Light and Power
Company initiated the operation of the
first fully successful automatic distribution
Application Highlight: Australian TSOs have adopted SSAT for grid oscillation studies
Dynamic Security Assessment Software
Offering a simple, user-friendly interface
with extensive analysis options, DSAToolsTM
is a suite of software tools for power system
analysis. The software is designed for
applications in both off-line studies and
on-line dynamic security assessment.
