Grid-Enhancing Technologies; Supplemental Notice of Workshop
As announced in the Notice of Workshop issued on September 9, 2019,
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) will convene a
staff-led workshop in the above-referenced proceeding on Tuesday,
November 5, 2019, from approximately 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and
Wednesday, November 6, 2019, from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.
(Eastern Time). The workshop will be held at Commission headquarters,
888 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426. The Chairman and
Commissioners may attend and participate.
The purpose of this workshop is to discuss grid-enhancing
technologies that increase the capacity, efficiency, or reliability of
transmission facilities. Panelists and staff will discuss how grid-
enhancing technologies are currently used in transmission planning and
operations, the challenges to their deployment and implementation, and
what the Commission can do regarding those challenges, including
regulatory approaches such as incentives or requirements for the
adoption of grid-enhancing technologies. These technologies include,
but are not limited to: (1) Power flow control and transmission
switching equipment; (2) storage technologies; and (3) advanced line
rating management technologies. There will be an opportunity to submit
written comments after the workshop. A notice setting the date when
comments
