Ancillary 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

I think wonky discussions of electricity market design can be fun and entertaining. If you agree, you’re the target audience of CAISO’s new podcast.

Ari Peskoe and Fred Stafford using Simpson memes on #energysky to argue about utility business models after a David Roberts episode of Volts. I’m so happy.

"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

"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."

"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. Reames, PhD and Ahlmahz Negash

Had the same thought, similar treatment as “first jurisdictional deliverer” for GHG. It’s incredibly messy, but possible.

It’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.

Paul Dockery @pauldockery.bsky.social · 26/11/2024
Maybe you can socialize “inverter based resources make hydropower more valuable” as a talking point.

Paul Dockery @pauldockery.bsky.social · 26/11/2024
Hydropower 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.

We're just waiting for the funding to do this! Anyone want to chip in a grant or gift, DM me. Seriously. 2025 could be the year for this. We need a GUI + a cloud based solver implementation and we can make GenX+Sienna & PyPSA easy for all to use and access. Both are already best in class models.
