Appearing:

Day two: Tuesday, June 28, 2011

11.15am

Panel session: Mobilizing energy sources and extending the grid

• Microgrids, distributed generation, micro-generation, selling back to the grid and “pro-sumers”
• Diversifying energy sources, and the impact of the smart grid on renewable energy development and consumption
• Peak shaving, base-load capacity, and the relative costs and benefits of adding generation capacity vs. demand response
solutions
• The holy grail of energy storage: helping achieve grid stability, integrating renewables to enhance efficiency, optimizing the power and reducing overall ownership and capital risk
• “Islanding” and preventing cascade outages in a highly
integrated grid like Brazil’s
• Fault location and emergency management: are smart
technologies the key to preventing rolling blackouts, or might they provoke protection overreaches?
