Using Weather and Energy Forecasting to Manage Microgrids

Many C&I property owners have realised the value of rooftop solar PV for their buildings, several reporting large energy and demand savings. With the rapid reduction of costs in solar technology, solar PV has has become a great business case for C&I property owners.

The offshore wind market has never been as exciting or dynamic as it is today. With aggressive carbon reduction and renewable energy targets, favourable locations near dense population centres, and new developments in floating platform solutions, offshore wind is poised for rapid growth in the coming decades.

With last year’s Risk Mitigation Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (RMIPPPP), South Africa has been enabling an even more rapid deployment of renewable energy sources. With solar and wind power’s variable electricity production, Eskom, as well as grid operators and utilities worldwide, are constantly adapting their requirements for renewable energy projects to ensure stable grid operations. With the share of available intermittent power sources growing every year, energy storage and solar production forecasts are essential to master the new situation and allow for both, safe and reliable renewable energy. In this webinar, you will learn more about the current and future requirements, and best practices for the integration of energy storage and solar forecasting into your projects to ensure you comply with these requirements and make the most of the solar resource at all times.

Large commercial solar projects can be excellent business opportunities for solar contractors, but the difference between profit and loss is having an efficient design process and the right tools. Solar software can help streamline solar design while ensuring accuracy and increasing profitability. Aurora Solar will highlight design strategies for commercial megawatt-scale solar projects, including how to accurately account for shading, optimize stringing configurations, check for NEC violations, and maximize the energy output and utility savings from rooftop and carport projects. This webinar will demonstrate recent advances for megawatt-scale solar design, relevant to experienced C&I designers and new entrants to the market alike.
