A detailed agenda with the list of and times for the selected speakers will be published on the Commission’s website 1 after May 22, 2020. Staff has held similar conferences in this proceeding in the past years, focused on enhancing market and planning efficiency and the resilience of the bulk power system. As in past conferences, this conference will bring together experts from diverse backgrounds and experiences, including electric system operators, software developers, and those from government, research centers and academia for the purposes of stimulating discussion, sharing information, and identifying fruitful avenues for research concerning the technical aspects of improved 1 https://www.ferc.gov/industries/electric/indusact/market-planning.asp. PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 software for increasing efficiency and resilience of the bulk power system. This conference is intended to build on those previous discussions. Staff will be facilitating discussions to explore research and operational advances with respect to market modeling that appear to have significant promise for potential efficiency or resilience improvements. Broadly, such topics fall into the following categories: (1) Improvements to the representation of physical constraints that are either not currently modeled or currently modeled using mathematical approximations (e.g., voltage and reactive power constraints, stability constraints, fuel delivery constraints, and constraints related to contingencies); (2) Consideration of uncertainty to better maximize economic efficiency (expected market surplus) and better understand events that could impact resilience of the bulk power system, e.g., stochastic modeling, or other improved modeling approaches to energy and reserve dispatch and system planning that efficiently manage uncertainty; (3) Software related to grid-enhancing technologies, such as those described in the notices for Docket No. AD19–19, Grid-enhancing Technologies, and Docket No. AD19–15, Managing Transmission Line Ratings, including optimal transmission switching, dynamic line ratings, distributed energy resources, and software for forecasting and enhancing visibility into changing system conditions. (4) Improvements to the ability to identify and use flexibility in the existing systems in ways that improve bulk power system resilience and economic efficiency, e.g., transmission constraint relaxation practices, and ramp management; (5) Improvements to the duality interpretations of the economic dispatch model, with the goal of enabling the calculation of prices which represent better equilibrium and incentives for efficient entry and exit; (6) Limitations of current electricity market software due to its interaction with hardware, for example, parallel computing and better cache management; (7) Other improvements in algorithms, model formulations, or hardware that may allow for increases in market efficiency and enhanced bulk power system resilience. Within these or related topics, we encourage presentations that discuss best modeling practices, existing modeling practices that need improvement, any advances made, or related perspectives on increasing E:\FR\FM\26FEN1.SGM 26FEN1
