Join Hands-On Grid Modeling Workshop at Tennessee Tech, April 23

Tennessee Tech University's Center for Energy Systems Research and the Tennessee Center for Rural Innovation are hosting an event your engineering staff won't want to miss.

DER Integration with HILLTOP+ Grid Modeling takes place Thursday, April 23, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Prescott Hall, Room 225, on the Tennessee Tech campus in Cookeville. The session brings together industry experts for presentations and a live demonstration of HILLTOP+, Tennessee Tech's grid simulation platform, with a focus on how utilities can use real-time modeling to manage risk, strengthen resilience, and prepare for distributed energy resource (DER) integration. 

The event is free to attend for all TVPPA Regular Members and includes a complimentary lunch. Professional Engineers can also earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs) at no cost. 

What to Expect

The morning opens with a look at HILLTOP+ grid modeling for utilities and startups, followed by presentations on energy modeling for U.S. buildings from Oak Ridge National Laboratory and aluminum-air generator technology for backup and off-grid power applications. After lunch, attendees will get a live lab demo and tour of the HILLTOP+ platform, with time for open Q&A and collaboration to close out the afternoon.

Speakers bring decades of experience spanning energy research, industry leadership and emerging energy technology.

How to Register

Space is limited, so encourage your engineering staff to RSVP and submit their lunch preference soon. Those seeking a certificate of completion or PE CEUs should also complete the CEU Registration Form.
