AI for Renewables: 5 Ways to Optimize Wind, Solar and Energy Storage

The three most important influence parameters to achieve the longest life cycle of a solar tracking system are standard structural design, corrosion and wind stability. Can the tracker system be bankable for 30 years? And how does the wind stability relate to reliability? In this pv magazine webinar, we will assess the impact of wind stability on bankability, and deep dive into a solution to improve wind stability. Our webinar partner, IDEEMATEC will present their unique rope system as the solution, which increases reliability. The result: through structural measures the risk of torsional galloping is more or less eliminated.

If you’re responsible for buying energy for your organization, you’ve probably considered commercial solar, and you’ve probably received dozens of calls and emails from solar brokers, developers, and installers. But how do you know which solar option is best for your organization, or who to trust with your solar project? Commercial solar can be nuanced and complex – but it doesn’t have to be. In this 30-minute webinar, Usource’s Consulting Director of Renewable Energy, Steve Birndorf discusses the variety of commercial solar options available today, how to spot and avoid potential pitfalls, and how one large organization was able to clear hurdles, cut through the confusion and develop a successful and financially rewarding commercial solar plan. Plus, Steve answers questions from webinar attendees.

Center for Resource Solutions recently released a new global energy certification framework that establishes the baseline criteria for new regional and country-specific Green-e standards throughout the world. The Green-e Framework for Renewable Energy Certification addresses the longstanding need for consistent international criteria that enforce the quality of renewable energy generation, transactions and use, while providing a way to address local stakeholder and market-development goals.

Siobhan and Nicolas will focus on the complementarity of PV and storage as a brick toward 100% renewable energy generation from the perspective of a technical and commercial advisor. Important technical aspects will be covered, such as grid connection, capex and opex savings. They will also look at the emergence of DC coupling, its advantages and limitations. Finally, to provide a wider overview of the subject from an investor perspective, Romain will discuss the specificities of project financing of hybrid PV + storage assets, such as the revenue stack, how investors view these and how the co-location can build a stronger case. A mixture of presentations and a moderated panel shall make this an interesting and interactive event.
