Offshore Wind – Part 2: Technical Considerations for Offshore Wind Interconnection
Hello Everyone,
The Richmond PES team is pleased to announce our next technical seminar events - this one needs two sessions. We think you will all be excited to learn more about the Dominion Energy Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Project and the considerations for interconnecting Offshore Wind into the grid. This announcement is for Part 2. Part 1 was sent out as a separate announcement but the link for it is included below.
The Sessions will begin with a discussion of the Dominion project(s) and then we'll follow that up in the second session with the interconnection consideration discussion. Distinguished guest speakers from Dominion and from Mitsubishi (MEPPI) will share their expertise with us on this much requested topic. We hope you can attend both sessions, but if not you are welcome to attend just the one that fits your schedule.
As always, please do register ahead of time so that we can keep our speakers up to date with a head count and so that we also know who to contact in case of any last minute challenges. You will find the links to the event sessions and log in information both in the attached flyers and also at the event links below where you can register. You can also add the event to your calendar at the event links here.
Part 1 - October 28th - 9 - 11:30 AM

Part 2 - November 4th - 9-11:30 AM
https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/285371
PDH Certificate: A PDF Certificate will be sent out for interested attendees following each of the seminars.
PDHs: 2 professional development hours (PDHs) may be issued to those completing each course for a total of 4 PDHs for attendees completing both sessions.
Any questions in the meantime, please let me know. Feel free to tell your colleagues about these webinars if they haven't seen any of the announcements.
Best Regards,

Offshore Wind – Part 2: Technical Considerations for Offshore Wind Interconnection
Technical Considerations for Offshore Wind Interconnection
Date: THURSDAY, November 4TH, 2021
Place: WEB - ON-LINE TECHNICAL SEMINAR – See Link Below and in Flyer
Abstract:
Large quantities of offshore wind are expected to be constructed along the East Coast of the U.S., in an electric power grid undergoing substantial transformation. Offshore wind energy has great potential and exhibits a strong capacity factor as a variable energy resource. These offshore wind power plants will be discussed, highlighting aspects unique to the offshore infrastructure, including electrical design considerations and main equipment of HVAC and HVDC transmission export systems.
The control and operation of these wind farms have a multitude of considerations, which bring about dynamic coordination needs and potential control interaction challenges. With weaker system conditions, performance of voltage-source converters under high-penetration levels will be discussed. Aspects of power quality and multi-frequency stability will be introduced, and modeling limitations will be discussed, introducing the need for electromagnetic transient (EMT) level modeling for integration evaluation.
