The uncertainty of solar performance is a constant source for snide remarks by opponents of renewable energy. But it is also a fact that hounds developers of utility scale PV projects, and especially in the pre-construction period when financing is being secured it is necessary to reduce project uncertainty. What are the steps a developer can take to improve their odds? pv magazine editor Christian Roselund will discuss this with a Vaisala’s Gwendalyn Bender, an expert for solar assessment services, in our third free webinar powered by Vaisala.

Greening the Grid
In many countries, integrating significant renewable energy to the grid requires new transmission to access the best wind and solar resources and accommodate generation from large projects. The renewable energy zone (REZ) approach provides a policy framework for planning new transmission to encourage utility-scale renewable energy development in areas that have the highest likelihood of being cost-effective. This webinar introduced the REZ approach, including the value of REZ to a power system, crucial components of the REZ process, technical approach to defining REZs using geospatial analysis, and case studies to highlight examples and key lessons for implementing REZ in other parts of the world.

US offshore wind
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.
