SUMMARY:Technical Talk with RF
DESCRIPTION:ReliabilityFirst (RF) offers a regularly scheduled monthly call to provide entities and stakeholders with a forum for addressing topics and questions relevant to reliability\, resilience and security.    \nWhile RF Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) will provide presentations and updates\, they will not address entity-specific questions and issues. These types of questions can be handled offline by using the RF Assist Visit program. If you have any questions\, please reach out to Mike Hughes\, Entity Engagement Manager\, 216-503-0617.   \nEvent Information\nJoin from the webinar link: https://reliabilityfirst.webex.com/reliabilityfirst/j.php?MTID=md2703617866dc603b73f1c7dc4cde9fe \nWebinar number (access code): 2316 942 3022 \nWebinar password: 0123456 (0123456 when dialing from a phone or video system) \n  \nAgenda\nE-ISAC overview \nNoel Lloyd\, Senior Engagement and Outreach Coordinator\, and Carly Cipolla\, Senior Partnerships and Engagement Coordinator\, E-ISAC \nThe E-ISAC\, which is operated by NERC\, keeps asset owners and operators informed about cyber and physical threats to the North American bulk power system through around-the-clock situational awareness and expert analysis. Noel Lloyd and Carly Cipolla will discuss the value entities can get out of membership to the organization\, which is isolated from NERC’s enforcement processes through the E-ISAC Code of Conduct. \n  \nOscillations in the power grid  \nCourtney Fasca\, Senior Reliability Consultant\, External Affairs\, Lew Folkerth\, Principal Reliability Consultant\, External Affairs\, Kellen Phillips\, Principal Analyst\, Operational Analysis & Awareness\, and Parimal Saraf\, Principal Engineer\, Engineering & System Performance\, RF  \nRF staff will discuss oscillations in the power grid from multiple angles based on each of their expertise\, offering a beginner-friendly look at this rising reliability risk with the proliferation of inverter-based resources (IBRs). Learn more about small signal analysis\, review real-world case studies\, and current actions industry and the ERO Enterprise are taking to mitigate this risk.   \n  \nLessons learned from international case studies  \nCatherine Lewis\, Energy Policy Analyst\, External Affairs\, RF  \nJoin us for another deep dive into several international case studies — from European blackouts to ongoing fuel crises\, Catherine Lewis will recap what led to these events and discuss lessons learned: how to prevent these issues\, mitigation strategies being employed\, and what we can learn from these cases in the U.S.   \n  \nReference Materials\nTech Talk with RF – May 2026
