Exploring the Role of Solar+Storage in Grid Outages

The devastating 2017 hurricane season raised awareness of the importance of resilience in the face of natural disasters, particularly the widespread impact of extended power outages in Puerto Rico. But what exactly is energy resilience and how can resiliency be considered in our decision making processes? In this webinar, experts from the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) shared how they are approaching the topic of resiliency. The presenters gave an overview of the importance of considering energy resilience when planning and making investment decisions, followed by a discussion of how solar technology can be deployed to help mitigate outages. The webinar included a review of the findings detailed in a recent paper released by NREL and Clean Energy Group, Valuing the Resilience Provided by Solar and Battery Energy Storage Systems, which illustrates the impact of valuing resilience on solar+storage system sizing.

Economics of Converting Renewable Power to Hydrogen

Solarplaza

The promise of green hydrogen has been around for years. Often doubted due to concerns, the technology seems to be gaining momentum lately. This future grid lab will provide a realistic overview of the challenges and opportunities that hydrogen offers. Gunther Glenk, Doctoral Candidate at Center for Energy Markets at the Technical University of Munich, was joined by Mina Mesbahi, Reserach Analyst at Solarplaza, to explore the economics of converting renewable power to hydrogen. Topics addressed in this webinar: Potential of hydrogen to reduce carbon emissions Barriers to adoption: costs and associated emissions Cost-competitive Power-to-Gas is already possible.

Analyzing US Energy Storage Developments

Market Intelligence

The movement towards power generation from renewable energy sources and decreasing battery prices is driving states to explore policies encouraging energy storage. In 2018, New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts joined California and Oregon in enacting state-level storage mandates. Power producers need to analyze the various utility-scale storage technology types in-order to comply with state storage policies. Attendees will learn how to: Stay informed with news and research on the US energy storage sector to identify new technologies and changes in state policy. Leverage utility-scale energy storage data to estimate how close a state is to meeting its target. Map existing and planned energy storage projects to visualize dominant technology types of the future.
