With last year\u2019s Risk Mitigation Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (RMIPPPP), South Africa has been enabling an even more rapid deployment of renewable energy sources. With solar and wind power\u2019s variable electricity production, Eskom, as well as grid operators and utilities worldwide, are constantly adapting their requirements for renewable energy projects to ensure stable grid operations. With the share of available intermittent power sources growing every year, energy storage and solar production forecasts are essential to master the new situation and allow for both, safe and reliable renewable energy. In this webinar, you will learn more about the current and future requirements, and best practices for the integration of energy storage and solar forecasting into your projects to ensure you comply with these requirements and make the most of the solar resource at all times.<\/p>\n
Moderator Mokebe Tutubala<\/strong>, Team Leader Business Development at ABO WIND, will introduce you to the South African solar & storage market and lead you through the event. An overview of the history, the financing and an outlook towards the future of solar & storage in South Africa will be given by Frederic Verdol<\/strong>, Senior Power Engineer from the World Bank Group. The important aspect of selecting the right type and size of storage for your projects, as well as a use case from the RMIPPPP tender will be presented by Corentin Baschet<\/strong>, Head of Market Analysis at Clean Horizon. Thomas Mart<\/strong>, Sr. Director Key Accounts at Reuniwatt, will present the solar forecasting requirements from the recent REIPPP tender and best practices for on-grid solar & storage projects, as solar forecasts are now a regular requirement in many grid codes If you are interested in an overview of the solar and storage, as well as best practices register now and participate in our webinar, or receive the video recording link.
