IEEE Central Texas Section

This talk will give an overview of the ERCOT grid which provides about 90% of electrical power to Texas. The growth of renewable power will be a primary focus, especially since its inherent intermittency impacts grid reliability. Current plans for the expansion of generation capacity will be compared to expected demand growth. Speaker(s): Jim Woodrick, ***CANCELED*** Agenda: 6:00 to 6:05 PM - Open for participants to enter and network. 6:05 to 6:10 PM - IEEE LM and CTCN Business meeting and speaker introduction. 6:10 to 7:30 PM - Formal Program and Q&A.
