Seminar description
Transactive Energy Distribution System (TEDS) planning requires a departure from traditional electricity distribution system expansion planning techniques. In this TEDS paradigm, a novel planning mechanism administered by a new neutral entity called the local distribution operator (LDO) is required. The proposed approach perfectly supports the future operation of TEDS which is set to comprise peer-to-peer (P2P) and peer-to-LDO (P2LDO) energy transactions.
In the third part of our IESO seminar series, IESO research fellow Dr. Amr Adel will present a comprehensive framework for a market-based mechanism for planning resource and network asset adequacy.
This innovative market-based mechanism considers offer bids for power capacity procurement, assets upgrading and demand bids to serve new loads while:
- being cognizant of P2P and P2LDO operations.
- benefitting from reduced assets requirements.
- allowing for a private asset ownership model.
- bringing a host of technical and economic benefits.
This process allows for a competitive procurement of assets hinged upon demand contracts with future customers.
Amr will be introduced by Patrick Lo, Senior Manager of Partnerships in Innovation, Research and Development at the IESO.
Speaker bios
Amr Adel, IESO Research Fellow, Centre for Urban Energy
Dr. Amr Adel is an IESO research fellow at the Centre for Urban Energy. He received a Ph.D. degree in power system optimization from Ryerson University. He received B.S. and M.S. degrees from Cairo University, Egypt. His research interests include power system optimization, energy storage, and energy markets.
Since joining CUE in 2015, Amr has contributed to several industrial and research projects for our industry partners including the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO), Toronto Hydro and Enwave. His current responsibilities include the development of innovative solutions for urban energy systems comprising energy markets and smart grid solutions. He has more than 20 academic and industrial publications. Amr is a member of IEEE and Cigré Canada.
Before coming to Canada, Amr worked in both academic and industrial engineering fields in Egypt as a faculty member in Cairo University and a professional engineer.
Patrick Lo, Senior Manager, Partnerships in Innovation, Research and Development, Independent Electricity System Operator
Patrick has over 14 years of experience in the electricity sector and is currently the Senior Manager of Partnerships in Innovation, Research and Development at the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO). He oversees the Grid Innovation Fund and its portfolio of projects which serves as a vehicle to provide financial support to innovative projects with significant potential to enable ratepayer cost savings and improved reliability.
Prior to this, Patrick held various positions at Hydro One, including developing its 10-year distribution strategy and advising on grid modernization through SCADA technologies to improve system reliability.
