Significance of international hydropower storage Jens HobohmInnovation Norway
The document discusses challenges facing the energy transition in Germany due to increasing reliance on volatile renewable energy sources. It compares various options for integrating fluctuating renewables, finding that international electricity interconnectors allowing "indirect storage" in hydro reservoirs in Scandinavia are currently the most marketable solution. Such interconnectors could balance supply and demand across weeks or months at high efficiency by shifting excess renewable generation to periods of higher demand.
Solutions for the Texas Energy Shortage Rick Borry
Ron Seidel, PE, principal at RBS Energy Consulting and Principal Solar, Inc. board member will discuss and answer questions about his recent whitepaper, "Solutions for the Texas Energy Shortage."
Ron's whitepaper is very timely because in the summer of 2011, Texas experienced extremely low reserve margin periods throughout the state... causing average wholesale electricity prices to skyrocket to more than twice their normal level. Given that Texas is expected to add another 14 million to its population between 2010 and 2030, these shortages raise alarms about the state's ability to meet future energy demand. Success will depend upon finding the most effective way to incent the development of more capacity.
Unlike many other states, Texas has had a competitive retail market for electricity since 2001, replacing the traditional cost of a service-based regulated market. The market requires customers to choose a competitive electricity supplier and allows retail suppliers to set their prices without regulatory interference. However, regulatory action has resulted in caps being placed on system-wide wholesale power prices with the intent of protecting consumers. It is these system-wide offer caps that have limited prices, reduced potential profitability for wholesalers and restrained the development of new generation.

The document discusses ancillary services and power supply in India. It notes that India currently has around 210 GW of installed capacity, with coal making up 56% of the generation mix. The country experiences persistent power deficits, with certain regions facing larger imbalances. Private sector contribution to installed capacity has grown in recent years. Ancillary services markets are expected to help meet the dynamic grid requirements, unlike traditional regulation-focused approaches. Key issues in designing ancillary services markets include regulations, supply and demand barriers, and ensuring sufficient market volumes.
Micro-grids supply energy to remote areas using multiple distributed energy sources and manage supply and demand complexities. They reduce transmission losses and relieve stress on the main grid. Various renewable technologies can be used including solar, wind, biomass and waste heat recovery. Energy storage helps provide steady backup power and balances intermittent renewable output. Communication controls coordinate supply and demand. Micro-grids provide reliable off-grid electrification with less need for grid upgrades.
