As the adoption of renewable energy continues to accelerate worldwide, integrating these resources into the electric power grid presents both significant opportunities and complex technical challenges. This presentation explores the evolving role of renewable energy technologies—including photovoltaic (PV) systems, wind farms, and battery energy storage systems—in supporting a reliable, resilient, and sustainable electric grid.
Attendees will gain insight into the operational challenges associated with renewable energy integration, such as intermittency, variability, voltage regulation, and grid stability. The session will highlight the critical role of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in addressing these challenges and enhancing the value of renewable energy resources.
The presentation will conclude with a discussion of modern grid management techniques and future opportunities for integrating high levels of renewable energy while maintaining power system performance, reliability, and resilience.
This session is ideal for engineers, researchers, students, utility professionals, energy developers, and anyone interested in the future of renewable energy and grid modernization.
