[Webinar] Hybrids: A Path from Intermittency to Stability
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>In this webinar, W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 and Reuniwatt will outline a framework for the implementation of future-proof hybrid power projects. Adding solar power to an existing energy supply system allows hybrid plant operators to mitigate the risks associated with energy prices and at least partially decarbon<\/span>ize their operations.<\/p>\nGlobally the energy transition is accelerating, driven by technology innovation and a significant decline in renewables prices. Despite the benefits of renewables to reduce emissions and cost of generation, intermittency remains a challenge.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, the technologies and tools to address this intermittency challenge exist today. The final barrier to overcome is the effective implementation and integration of several technologies into one single dispatchable facility. W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 and Reuniwatt provide a framework for reliable and cost effective hybrid power plants. This will include technology integration, contractual structuring and system optimization, as well as the setup of a forecasting system as an essential tool for a smart energy management of hybrid projects.<\/p>\n<\/div>

His key focus areas include project origination, evaluation, and development of gas to power, hybrids, and energy storage projects. Michael is currently based in Helsinki, Finland, and covers both the Africa and Europe regions. His educational background includes a Mcomm in Economics and Finance from the University of Stellenbosch.<\/span><\/p>\nTarik Sfendla<\/strong> is Market Development Manager, Africa at W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Energy, a global leader in smart technologies and complete lifecycle solutions for energy markets with more than 72GW of power plant capacity delivered in 180 countries around the world. Tarik has a longstanding ambition to actively participate to the development of the African energy sector. Today, he is passionate about helping African energy market stakeholders pave the path towards a 100% renewable energy future. Tarik has an extensive experience in originating and delivering projects across the African continent. He has led high-stakes international power generation projects in 9 African countries (more than 700MW), addressing the key customer segments (Utility, IPP and C&I). Among others, Tarik managed successfully the design and the execution of the largest isolated solar PV and thermal hybrid power plant in Africa (Essakane project, Burkina Faso).<\/span><\/p>\nLouis-\u00c9tienne Boudreault<\/span><\/strong> is a Doctor in Civil Engineering (DTU Wind Energy, Denmark) specialised in meteorology applied to renewable energies. He pursued two post-doctoral studies at the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (Bordeaux), on fundamental research projects in micro-meteorology. In particular, he focused on the calculation of wind energy yield in complex terrain and wind-tree interactions at the landscape scale. He joined Reuniwatt in 2017 to support the vision team on research and development issues on cloud cover monitoring products using wide-angle sky cameras. He also contributes to the success of camera customer projects through technical, operational and business development support.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>![\"-\"](\"https:\/\/reuniwatt.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/IMG_3084-square-200.jpg\" "\\"IMG_3084-square-200\\"")
