Will present a talk entitled:

Uncertainty management in market operations with high penetration of renewables

Abstract: With an increasing penetration of weather-dependent resources and more frequent extreme weather events, market operations count on ancillary service products (i.e., reserves) to effectively manage uncertainty and variability. Transmission bottlenecks within the power system may impede the deliverability of reserves. Inadequate deliverable reserves may necessitate additional manual adjustments by operators, introducing potential uneconomic practices and distorting market price signals.

Traditionally, contingency reserves were designed to address uncertainties arising from generation outages. It has become crucial to adequately define reserve product requirements, to address aggregated uncertainties from generation outages, renewable and load forecast errors, net scheduled interchange uncertainties, and stranded capacity due to transmission constraints.

To enhance reserve deliverability, event-based zonal and nodal reserve clearing models have been implemented or studied. This seminar introduces methods developed by grid operators to improve uncertainty management and ancillary service product deliverability.

The poster is designed to promote the "CUGSA Executive Board Elections 2024" and is visually engaging, using a color palette of deep green, yellow, and hints of red. The top section of the poster features a deep green background with bold, white text that reads "CUGSA EXECUTIVE BOARD ELECTIONS 2024" and below this, "VOTE NOW" alongside a QR code for easy access to voting information or the voting site. The middle section of the poster marks the election dates, "MAY 2-3, 2024," prominently displayed against a bright yellow background that contrasts with the green above. The bottom part of the poster is particularly lively and illustrative. It features a large, red ballot box labeled "VOTE" on its side. There are two animated characters interacting with the ballot box. The first character, a man, is standing on top of the box and speaking into a megaphone, symbolizing active participation or rallying for votes. The second character, a woman, is next to the ballot box, holding up a ballot paper as if she is about to drop it into the box, representing the act of voting. The background includes simplistic representations of clouds and stars, adding a playful element to the scene. The poster is finished with the logo of the Clarkson University Graduate Student Association (CUGSA) at the bottom, anchoring the poster with a sense of official endorsement and identity. This design effectively communicates the essential information about the election while encouraging active participation through its vibrant and dynamic visuals.
