Renewable Energy Storage 2011

  • 01-03 Feb 2011
  • The Embassy Row Hotel, Washington, DC, United States

Description

Federal support and incentives for renewable energy storage projects are increasing within both grid-scale and distribution markets. The government has introduced billions of dollars of stimulus funding to accelerate renewable energy storage technologies and grid developments within the U.S. As a result, policy and market design are now shifting to permit monetization of the many system benefits of renewable energy storage.

Implementation challenges within renewable energy storage include overcoming intermittent supplies and energy prediction for renewable energy. As a result, storage technologies are becoming more widely available. Storing energy during peak generation periods is a money saving option in the long run, which benefits both generator and consumer as well as helping achieve state and federal goals on clean energy generation.

ACI s Renewable Energy Storage 2011 Conference will equip utility and renewable generation executives with continuing knowledge and insight into leading edge technologies, policy and regulatory updates, planning and investment opportunities as well as preparation for future storage projects.
Keynote speakers, The Honorable, Ron Wyden, United States Senate and Dr. Imre Gyuk, U.S. Department of Energy will discuss renewable energy storage as a fundamental aspect of future grid systems and operations, and The Federal Energy Storage Initiative and ARRA stimulus funding, respectively.

Additional key topics to be discussed include:

  • Growth opportunities within the renewable energy storage market through leveraging state and federal incentives from The D.C. Public Service Commission and New Jersey Board of Public Utilities.
  • Examining and understanding the opportunities for renewable energy storage within community and regional markets, and ISO/RTO tariffs from the New York and Midwest ISO s.
  • Utility and renewable generation perspectives and updates on projects from Viridity Energy, Sempra Energy, DTE Energy, Edison Mission Energy and Austin Energy.
  • Effective integration and transfer of stored renewable energy onto the grid from PSEG and Riverbank Power Corp.
  • Financing and investment strategies for future individual and multi-partner bulk storage projects from The U.S. Renewables Group and Firelake Capital.
  • Addressing renewable supply variation challenges and energy storage systems for distribution network management from The Natural Resources Defense Council and American Electric Power.
Energy storage industry stakeholders convene at this executive-level forum to address the challenges the industry is facing, and to explore innovative solutions for the financing and cost allocation obstacles, renewable integration and supply variation hurdles as well as construction and planning of renewable storage projects.

Don t miss this unique opportunity to network with and learn from industry experts, state and federal regulatory agencies and associations, electric utilities, renewable generators, engineering companies and contractors, renewable storage solution providers, lenders and investors and legal advisors.

We very much look forward to welcoming you to Washington D.C. in February.
