Reposted by Paul DockeryCalifornia ISO @caiso.com · 20/05/2026Ancillary services are essential for keeping the power grid stable, but the details can be complex. In episode 2 of Frequency Band, Paul Dockery & Becky Robinson join experts Emma Nicholson, Energy Economist, and Robin Hytowitz, Program Lead at EPRI, to explain it all. ⚡️🎙️ ow.ly/83Ye50Z2mhl 002

Paul Dockery @pauldockery.bsky.social · 18/12/2024"When we look at these visioning documents, I think there's a lot of value in thinking through the energy system in terms of talking to people about how they experience energy infrastructure, how they experience their utility." - Season 6, Episode 18, 10:14 000
Paul Dockery @pauldockery.bsky.social · 18/12/2024"There might be a very narrow set of techno-economic experts that have influence in a process like [regulatory filings]. That's not an apolitical space, but it only allows for certain types of politics or a narrow set of concerns to be expressed." 100
Paul Dockery @pauldockery.bsky.social · 18/12/2024"It's not always the case that we can represent our energy systems in very quantifiable, discrete ways that don't allow for political understanding in the way that having a conversation with someone would." - Salma Elmallah in conversation with Tony G.

Paul Dockery @pauldockery.bsky.social · 26/11/2024It’s the positive formulation of the same point that gets made in the hydro circle about IBRs. IBR systems will place higher value on the unique attributes of hydropower. I get frustrated by my hydropower friends who think they have to tear down wind and solar to promote hydro. It’s a symbiotic. 010
Paul Dockery @pauldockery.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Maybe you can socialize “inverter based resources make hydropower more valuable” as a talking point. 210
Paul Dockery @pauldockery.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Hydropower provides some beautiful grid inertia to support frequency and voltage during grid disturbances. See if you can get them to talk about grid “bumps”, synchronous generators, and why hydropower is better at grid support than conventional fossil generation. 130
