Towards 100% renewable energy : Utilities in transistion

January 13, 2020

The IRENA Coalition for Action is an international network with a vision for its members to work together to advance renewable energy in order to drive the global energy transformation in line with the Sustainable Development Goal on energy This white paper has been developed in a joint effort by Members of the Coalition Working Group Towards 100% Renewable Energy. Building on several case studies and first-hand interviews with utilities, the paper outlines a broad variety of experiences and lessonslearned from utilities undertaking the transition to 100% renewable energy.

ELECTRIC VEHICLES SPOTTING THE CHALLENGES& CHARTING THE COURSE

whitePaper | October 23, 2022

Today we witness a significant push in the country to not just drive adoption and also become a world leader in production as we scale up our manufacturing facilities and localise supply chains. This presents a huge opportunity for the industry to support the nation’s drive to become an automobile hub. However, the industry witnesses its own set of unique challenges that need to be addressed on priority. We are in the middle of critical supply chain-induced shortages, especially with the limited availability of key components such as lithium-ion battery cells and semiconductor chips in recent times.

Grid-Forming Technology in Energy Systems Integration

whitePaper | March 17, 2022

As rising numbers of inverter-based resources (IBRs) are deployed in power systems around the world, their role on the grid is changing and the services needed from them have evolved. In order to maintain grid stability and reliability, IBRs need to provide some of the services currently (or formerly) provided by synchronous generators. Interconnection standards already include requirements for IBRs to have the capability to provide some of these services—such as frequency and voltage support—and the procurement and deployment of the services can be implemented either as mandatory interconnection requirements or as market products

Fostering Effective Energy Transition 2022 Edition

whitePaper | May 11, 2022

The Energy Transition Index (ETI) has benchmarked the progress of countries’ energy transition for a decade on the three dimensions of the energy triangle – economic development and growth, energy security and access, and environmental sustainability – and on the enabling environment for transition. In view of the current volatile macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, however, a trend analysis from historical energy data can currently provide only limited insights. Hence, instead of the annual country energy transition benchmarking report, this special 2022 edition builds on the ETI trends observed in recent years to provide a perspective on the current challenges affecting the transition, and highlights priorities to supercharge it.

Five Ds

whitePaper | October 19, 2022

Fundamental developments in science, technology and society are transforming the generation, distribution and use of energy. At the heart of these changes is a shift away from traditional carbon-heavysources toward renewables. Together, with technologies such as battery storage, microgrids, and electric vehicles, net-zero energy is in sight.

THE BUSINESS OF STANDALONE GRID-SCALE ENERGY STORAGE

whitePaper | January 16, 2020

In 1800, Alessandro Volta invented the first battery, which came to be known as the voltaic pile. It was the first device to provide a steady supply of energy. Batteries have come a long way since then. In the 1970s, lithium-ion batteries were commercialized for the first time. Now they are a crucial component in revolutionizing and enabling continued renewable penetration on the US electrical grid.
