Licensed Ontario Professional Engineer (P.Eng) DNV
Presentation Description: Has the industry settled on a standard approach or are we still evolving such that each developer has their own strategy? In this panel, DNV GL’s solar and energy storage experts will join leading integrators to discuss a variety of build strategies, cost considerations, and the pros and cons with each approach. Topics covered will include detailed technical considerations including various charge/discharge strategies, ITC compliance, battery degradation, utilization of DC/DC converters to remove voltage mismatches, and plant production modeling. The panel will also address trends in the industry towards longer useful life expectations and stricter safety requirements of the batteries, both in standalone and paired with renewables. DNV GL and its industry partners will explore case studies, results from its NY BEST test lab, and its expectations for the future based on our experience over the last decade.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the industry's current approach to overbuild vs. augmentation
Have 3-5 strategic factors they can consider in development of their own projects, and the pros/cons of each approach and how they may play into their individual development strategies
Understand expected trends in the future based on storage build-out from the last decade
