Featured Speaker: Derek Stenclik, Founding Partner, Telos Energy
About the Webinar: This webinar delves into the critical aspects of enhancing power system reliability through comprehensive stress testing. This presentation reviews ESIG’s recent report from the Resource Adequacy Task Force, which considers new resource adequacy criteria that explicitly incorporate high-impact, low probability events. The presentation also covers how to identify and characterize extreme weather phenomena, and best practices for evaluating such events for power system system planning. Mr. Stenclik explores the challenges posed by extreme heat and cold weather, examining their impact alongside correlated risks such as high loads, low wind and solar generation, and generator outages. This session aims to provide a thorough understanding of how to integrate these factors into planning scenarios to ensure a resilient and dependable power system.
