Energy Sector Transformation

As the Department of Energy develops its review of the electricity grid and new FERC commissioners take their seats, discussions about the effects of the changing generation mix and federal subsidies on grid reliability are coming to the forefront. Join a group of experts as we discuss the potential consequences for renewable energy growth and identify strategies for U.S. power markets to better integrate variable and flexible resources.

With over 30 different floating wind system designs and concepts - some old, some new - there needs to be special considerations to allow a pathway to commercialization. The technology is so new that no market has yet deployed it at scale. This gives US floating offshore wind developers a challenge, but also an opportunity to lead the world. Floating wind farm foundations are seen as key to the long-term growth of the US offshore wind sector. After all, the US has abundant experience in the development of floating structures for the oil and gas sector. However, experts say the biggest issue is how to cut the cost of floating structures as quickly as possible. With floating wind due to be a major theme at the 4th US Offshore Wind conference in Boston on June 10-11, 2019, this webinar provides insights into how cost-reduction might be achieved.

ENSURE THE COMPLIANCE AND OPERATIONAL SAFETY OF YOUR GEOTHERMAL POWER PLANT With the growth of geothermal energy ramping up in recent years, project owners and operators are under pressure to ensure that their projects are up and running on time and on budget. Understanding and adhering to the requirements and regulations relevant to geothermal projects is necessary to prevent costly rework and delays. This becomes more challenging when projects are managed internationally as different countries may have different regulations. TÜV SÜD has developed a guideline to ensure that your safety and compliance topics are covered so that you can obtain your geothermal project certification before commissioning in a timely, cost-effective way.

The Philippines, Indonesia,Vietnam among other countries in the SEA region have pursued renewable energy expansion program. But as installed solar capacity raises accross the region and pockets of know-how grow through it, solar deployment is only going to speed up.
