SUMMARY:Technical Talk with RF
DESCRIPTION:Event Information\nJoin link: https://reliabilityfirst.webex.com/reliabilityfirst/j.php?MTID=md1f4c01d17c26d446a7e2d4dce4ed8cf   \nMeeting number: 2312 803 7124  \nMeeting password: 0123456 (0123456 when dialing from a phone or video system)  \nJoin by phone: 1-650-479-3207 Call-in toll number (US/Canada)  \nAccess code: 231 280 37124  \nPlease join us on Slido.com using #TechTalkRF as the event code.  \nAgenda \nGridEx VIII preview \nJesse Sythe\, GridEx Program Manager\, E-ISAC \nJesse Sythe will preview what’s to come this year at GridEx VIII\, which will be held Nov. 18-19\, 2025. Hosted every two years by the E-ISAC\, this is the largest grid security exercise in North America\, offering E-ISAC member and partner organizations a forum in which to practice how they would respond to and recover from coordinated cyber and physical security threats and incidents. The last event in 2023 saw more than 15\,000 participants come together from approximately 250 North American organizations\, including the electric industry\, cross-sector partners from gas and telecommunications\, and U.S. and Canadian government partners. Registration for lead planners and planners is now open to E-ISAC members and partners. \nNuclear energy’s place in supporting grid reliability  \nTimothy McJunkin\, Distinguished Researcher and Group Lead for Grid Integration and Control in the Power and Energy System\, Idaho National Laboratory  \nTimothy McJunkin will highlight analysis supporting nuclear energy’s role in a stably operating electric grid\, new efforts funded by the Department of Energy\, and a brief outlook for the progress in advanced reactor development. This is particularly relevant given the large load growth the grid is seeing\, which has led to momentum for some nuclear plants being restarted and potentially increasing the unit capacity at existing plants. \nMcJunkin leads work at the Idaho National Lab in implementing nuclear energy centered microgrids. His current research is centered around cross-cutting research to develop resilience solutions of the energy sector and human systems automation directed at critical-infrastructure. \nCurrent state of the CIP Standards  \nLew Folkerth\, Principal Reliability Consultant\, External Affairs\, ReliabilityFirst  \nLew Folkerth will give an overview on the current status of the NERC Reliability Standards pertaining to Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP)\, including a current look at the standards\, what’s coming soon\, and what standards are in progress.   \nReference Materials\nTech Talk with RF – April 2025

SUMMARY:ERO Enterprise Webinar | Inverter-Based Resource Registration Initiative
DESCRIPTION:Click here for: Webinar Registration | IBR Initiative Quick Reference Guide | Candidate for Registration Quick Reference Guide \nIn November\, the ERO Enterprise will host an informational webinar on the Inverter-Based Resource (IBR) Registration Initiative\, which addresses the identification and registration of owners and operators of IBRs that are connected to the bulk power system\, but are not currently required to register with NERC or adhere to its Reliability Standards. To mitigate this reliability concern\, NERC seeks to register Generator Owners (GO) and Generator Operators (GOP) of non-Bulk Electric System IBRs with aggregate nameplate capacity ≥20 MVA connected at a voltage ≥60 kV.  \nThis informational webinar is designed for Category 2 GO and GOPs\, and will feature presentations from NERC\, the Electricity Information Sharing Analysis Center (E‑ISAC)\, and Regional Entity staff focused on various topics and activities underway\, including: \n\nMilestones and Work Plan\nRegistration Criteria Revisions: New Category 2 GO and GOP\nNERC Standards and Compliance Expectations\nERO Identification/Registration Process for Category 2 GO and GOPs\nCommunications Resources\n\nThe webinar will include panelist presentations followed by a question-and-answer session.

Every day we are faced with a series of choices in how we allocate our time and energy\, yet often the pressures life puts on us make us feel like we don’t have a choice. That was the experience of Niki Schaefer when she suffered a stroke at 38 years old as a result of placing more importance on her career\, parenting\, family\, friend and community obligations than she placed on her own mental and physical health. Niki will explain what happened and the lessons she learned on her road to recovery that helped her find health and happiness post-stroke. \n\n  \nThe value of workplace friendships  \nSam Queeno\, Director\, Physical Security\, AEP\, and Founder\, Best Friend Friday  \n\nYou may know Sam Queeno from his work as Director of Physical Security for AEP\, but beyond his security expertise\, Sam has another passion: the value of having a best friend at work. He started Best Friend Friday\, a weekly video series that highlights best friends at work\, in 2018\, and published a book on this subject as well in May 2024. This passion project has grown to become a framework that can be used both to improve relationships in the workplace and beyond. Sam will discuss the “best friend at work” concept and the value it can bring to your organization.
