Why attend?

The installed generation capacity of renewable energy is increasing every year. Globally, Renewables will make up roughly a third of total electricity generation by early next year and nearly 50% by 2030. Energy storage is critical to utilize renewable energy efficiently and decarbonize the power system. It can also help the grid handle the variable nature of renewable energy sources. But the energy storage system alone is not enough to handle the intermittency of renewable power. How can the power industry deploy the existing infrastructure to support grid stability and incorporate more renewable energy?

In this webinar, Vivek Mahadevan, Siemens Energy’s key expert for grid stability will discuss different technical solutions and use cases. Join the webinar to learn more about:

  • Four main features of grid stability
  • Key solutions for maintaining grid stability
  • Case study based on a reference project

Don’t miss the opportunity to learn more about how power plant operators can support grid stability while expanding their revenue streams
