DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nLong-duration energy storage (LDES) is a key resour
 ce in enabling zero-emissions electricity grids but its role within differ
 ent types of grids is not well understood. In this work\, we find that a) 
 LDES is particularly valuable in majority wind-powered regions and regions
  with diminishing hydropower generation\, b) seasonal operation of storage
  becomes cost-effective if storage capital costs fall below US$5/kWh\, and
  c) mandating the installation of enough LDES to enable year-long storage 
 cycles would reduce electricity prices by over 70% during times of high de
 mand. Given the asset and resource diversity of the Western Interconnect\,
  our results can provide grid planners in many regions with guidance on ho
 w LDES impacts and is impacted by energy storage mandates\, investments in
  LDES research and development\, and generation mix and transmission expan
 sion decisions (Staadecker\, M. et al.\, Nature Communications\, 2024). In
  the second project\, we propose for the first time\, a non-cooperative ga
 me framework that incorporates learned inverter dynamics of Distributed En
 ergy Resources (DERs) from a nonlinear high-fidelity model to represent th
 eir participation in a Virtual Power Plant to meet regulation services in 
 support of the upper-level grid (Serna-Torre\, P. and Hidalgo-Gonzalez\, P
 . PSCC\, 2024). This work is first of its kind and it is a stepping stone 
 to answering fundamental questions related to inverter dominated grids.\n\
 n\n\nBio\n\nPatricia Hidalgo-Gonzalez is an Assistant Professor at the Uni
 versity of California\, San Diego. She holds a Ph.D. and two M.Sc. from th
 e University of California\, Berkeley. She graduated as an Industrial and 
 Electrical engineer from Pontificia Universidad Católica of Chile. Her wo
 rk focuses on high penetration of renewable energy using optimization\, co
 ntrol theory and machine learning. She is generally interested in capacity
  expansion modeling\, power system dynamics\, resilient grids for extreme 
 weather events\, environmental justice\, distributed control\, and learnin
 g for dynamical systems with safety guarantees. Her work has been funded b
 y the California Energy Commission\, the U.S. Department of Energy\, the S
 loan Foundation\, the Environmental Defense Fund\, the University of Calif
 ornia Office of the President and GridLab. Prof. Hidalgo-Gonzalez is an NS
 F GRFP fellow\, Siebel Scholar in Energy\, Rising Star in Electrical Engin
 eering and Computer Science\, has been awarded Best paper at the Power Sys
 tems Computation Conference 2020\, and is part of the Editors’ Highlight
 s in Nature Communications (best 50 papers recently published in “Engine
 ering and Infrastructure”)\, among other recognitions. She is part of th
 e IEEE Task force “Data-driven controls for distributed systems” and h
 as served as best paper judge in the IEEE Control Systems Society Technica
 l Committee on Energy Systems. She has also served as the opening talk for
  the energy storage session in EPRI's 43rd Seminar on Resource Planning in
  Washington D.C.\, and as a speaker at a symposium from the U.S. National 
 Academy of Sciences and the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina
  in Halle\, Germany\, among others.\n\nResearch\, Related Papers\n\nNon-co
