IEEE Power & Energy Magazine - November/December 2021 - 6

To provide insights into the emerging
challenges of operating a renewable-dominated
grid, frequent guest editor Charlie
Smith teamed with Debra Lew to organize
eight articles by experts from utilities,
grid operators, vendors, research institutes,
and universities around the world.
They cover the following high-renewable
system integration topics:
✔ the current renewable resource
integration status and system integration
issues
✔ alternative pathways to a 100%
clean electricity/energy future
✔ challenges in
grid operation
and planning
in renewable
integrat ion, including
the impact of inverterbased
resources on power system
stability, renewable curtailment,
zero and negative market prices,
congestion management, and resource
adequacy
✔ an agenda for guiding future research
and development activities
to address challenges
The 115kV
Spacer Cable
Transmission
Solution
Introducing the Hendrix 115kV Aerial Cable
Systems for Reduced ROW, Increased ROI, and
Environmental Protection.
Start taking advantage of Spacer Cable in a transmission system application.
This spacer cable solution for power transmission offers many benefits for
utility decision makers:
* Better circuit reliability
* Reduced right of way
* Compact bundle reduces GMD, resulting in 15% lower impedance, 15%
improved voltage regulation, improved end of line voltage, improved power
factor, and better overall quality of service
* Used as a key component in Wildfire Mitigation strategy
* Minimizes Vegetation Management
* Build additional circuits in existing ROW
* Easier and faster ROW approvals
* Helps achieve regulatory goals in
Environmental Stewardship Roadmap
* Reduced pole height
* APLIC compliant

MADE IN U.S.A.
✔ an outlook on renewable integration-related
technology, including
advanced forecasting tools,
electricity market designs with
new gird services and resource
provision mechanisms, hybrid
energy systems as a novel operating
paradigm for renewable
integration, and macro gr id
concepts that exploit the benefits
of load and generation resource
diversity
✔ emerging needs for managing
high-renewable systems, including
risk quantification and new resource
adequacy requirements,
proactive transmission expansion
planning, and the establishment
of national/internat
ional transmission planning
authorities.
The issue closes with an " In My View "
column from Peter Markussen. He
discusses how to establish efficient
electricity market mechanisms to incentivize
massive transmission buildouts.
A strong transmission system can increase
overall operational flexibility
and exploit geographical diversity in
load and generation resources.
Leader's Corner
The pandemic has impacted all aspects
of life, including our financial status.
IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES)
Treasurer Nouredine Hadjsaid discusses
his role and reports on the financial
health of the organization. Spoiler alert:
PES is surviving nicely, providing member
benefits while negotiating the terrain
of these exceptional times.
