The future electric grid, driven by increased renewable energy penetration, promises significant advantages including reduced carbon emissions, distributed generation capabilities, and enhanced resiliency against faults or natural disasters. However, this shift presents unique challenges, such as intermittency of energy sources and lower grid inertia, which currently impede efficient resource integration.
In this engaging talk, we will explore the latest trends and future directions of the electric grid, with a specific focus on power conversion technologies. We will highlight the critical role energy storage systems (ESSs)—including batteries and hydrogen solutions—play in peak shaving, capacity smoothing, load shifting, and maintaining grid voltage and frequency stability amid growing renewable penetration.
Additionally, the session will delve into the ongoing transition from traditional high-inertia grids to modern low-inertia systems facilitated by advanced grid-following and grid-forming converters. Finally, we will discuss cutting-edge research on optimizing ESS deployment strategies, emphasizing how such advancements can enhance grid resiliency while simultaneously generating increased economic benefits for ESS operators.
Join us for an insightful overview of how innovative power conversion and storage technologies are shaping the resilient, sustainable electric grids of tomorrow.
