Two Day Program: Today’s U.S. Electric Power Industry, Renewable Energy, ISO Markets, and How Electric Power Transactions are Done (New York City, United States – April 17-18, 2018) – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "Today's
U.S. Electric Power Industry, Renewable Energy, ISO Markets, and How
Electric Power Transactions are Done" conference has been added
to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This in-depth two-day program provides a comprehensive and clear
explanation of the structure, function, and current status of today's
U.S. electric power industry; the fundamentals of ISO day-ahead
auctions, LMP, FTRs, CRRs and capacity markets; the reliability and
economic issues raised by the integration of solar, wind, distributed
generation and demand response resources into the existing power grid;
how physical and financial electricity transactions are done at the
wholesale and end-user retail levels both within and outside of an ISO
footprint; and the basics of heat rates, spark spreads, tolling deals
and a heat-rate-linked power transactions.

Each part of this complex industry will be explained piece-by-piece and
then the pieces will be integrated using several clear cut examples so
that attendees will leave with an understanding of how everything fits
together.

What You Will Learn:

• The structure and function of the electric service system, its
  terminology and units, and the properties of electricity.
• How the North American power grid is structured, how it operates and
  what the different types of electric generation are.
• How control areas, balancing authorities, spinning reserves, AGC and
  security constrained environmental economic dispatch work.
• Who the key players in the industry are, and why the industry is so
  difficult to restructure.
• How cost-of-service utility ratemaking and open access deregulated
  markets work, and why open access retail electricity markets are
  finally developing in states that permit them.
• What ISOs, RTOs, ITCs and merchant transmission companies are, and how
  they operate.
• What the smart grid, demand side management (DSM), distributed energy
  resources (DER) and demand response (DR) are, and how these forms of
  virtual generation and renewable energy resources are disrupting the
  U.S. power industry.
• The opportunities and challenges associated with wind, solar and other
  renewables.
• How ISO Day-Ahead energy auction markets operate in PJM, New York,
  Texas, California, MISO and other ISO areas;
• What locational marginal pricing (LMP) is and why it is important; how
  Day-Ahead and Real Time LMP is applied in the ISO markets, and why
  FTRs, TCCs, CRRs, TCRs , virtual bids (Incs & Decs) and convergence
  bidding are important to understand.
• What capacity markets and resource adequacy are, and how this
  important issue relates to demand response, DER and demand side
  management and affects the integration of wind, solar and other
  renewables into the existing power grid.
• An overview of Utility scale solar, rooftop solar, and net metering,
  and wind and other renewable energy resources.
• What the Western Grid "Energy Imbalance Market" is, and why it is
  important to understand Community Choice Aggregators, the California
  "Duck Curve" and "FRAC-MOO."
