Enabling Energy Storage for Commercial Solar Developers and Contractors

In this webinar, John Moore, Director of the Sustainable FERC Project at NRDC, discussed some of the issues currently before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the regional markets it regulates, including the potential threats for state RPSs and related state energy policies. Among the issues he discussed are the increasing tensions between state and federal energy policies, energy storage, resilience, aggregation of rooftop solar and other distributed energy resources, PURPA, and transmission planning. This presentation was followed by a Q&A with the audience. This webinar was presented by the Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) for the RPS Collaborative.

Hitachi Energy is bringing together a panel of expert voices from across the mining industry for a powerful and insightful discussion on how to “crack” the prevalent challenges faced by mines around the world today. Three major trends are fundamentally transforming the industry: digitalization, automation and the shift from diesel to electrification. Not only are mining operators dealing with aging infrastructure, declining grades, increasingly remote ore bodies and uncertain market conditions, but they’re also feeling the pressure to meet sustainability goals and adopt new digital technologies.

Many in the solar industry feel that overbuilding, or designing a photovoltaic array with a DC capacity greater than the AC rating, is not feasible or even detrimental due to inverter clipping. Recently, several top inverter manufacturers have introduced products that were designed to be overbuilt. Why is this? It could well be in response to project economics and / or capacity caps in certain locales. In this webinar we will explore the benefits and obstacles to overbuilding, more specifically the desired balance of productivity versus demand, and the cost basis in terms of kWh delivered.
