The Solar & Storage Colocation Virtual Summit will uncover which projects are best suited to co-location, how to project the cost of rapidly changing battery technology vs. the benefits in additional yield and explore how your co-location project can secure debt and investment.
We will also discuss how to develop a project once capital is secured, from designing and sizing projects accurately and ensuring the best technology is selected, to deploying the correct maintenance strategy once construction is complete.
This Virtual Summit will fulfill a real-world need for insights on how you can make your solar + storage co-located project a success and cover the key questions that arise when installing battery storage alongside new or existing assets.
There’s a race to develop new technologies – and adapt existing ones – that can either be complementary to lithium batteries, or even compete with them. Representatives from three technology providers offer up some case studies, data, insights and opinions on where they think the market could go.
Independent power producer EDF Renewables North America has signed a 22-year power purchase agreement with NV Energy for a 200MWac solar project coupled with a 180MW, four-hour battery storage system.
US developer and utility NextEra Energy has said there is currently a “terrific opportunity” for wind, solar and battery storage while Texas-based CPS Energy plans to add up to 900MW of solar, 50MW of battery storage and 500MW of new technology solutions to its portfolio.
Long duration energy storage is “essential” to help accelerate renewable deployment, according to the US Department of Energy’s Dr Imre Gyuk, who moderates this panel discussion with Matt Harper from flow battery provider Invinity Energy Systems and Russ Weed from gravity energy storage company ARES.
Based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Dr Imran Syed is head of industrial power for Enerwhere, designing and implementing hybrid systems that use energy storage. Dr Syed spoke to Andy Colthorpe about some recent project case studies.
Unlike other solar conferences, proceeds from the event help to fund high quality journalism across our media titles.
This supports the growth of the solar and storage industries as well as the transition to a cleaner power system.
