Energy Consulting's Planning & Engineering manager Lavelle Freeman talks about the role of microgrids in the "utility of the future". Whether it's supporting resiliency, or enabling the integration of renewables, it's clear microgrids are going to play an important role in the future of electric power.

Microgrids and The Utility of the Future

What's the future hold for integrating large amounts of wind and solar into electric grids around the world? The future is brighter than you might expect. Gene Hinkle, Managing Director for Power Economics at GE Energy Consulting discusses the economic and technical realities of integrating large amounts of renewables onto grid systems. The takeaway?

Bright Future For Renewables Integration

With the rise of "the age of gas" and falling costs for renewable generation technologies, ensuring investments in new electric power projects are sound is critical. Bob Woodfield, Energy Financial Analytics manager for GE Energy Consulting talks about the role and importance of asset valuation in the electric power system, as well as what's likely to drive the economics of future power projects.

The Role of Asset Valuation In The Electric Power System

Hawaii's experience integrating large amounts of renewable energy into its power system has been described as a "postcard from the future".  The island state has some of the most aggressive renewable integration targets in the U.S. Because Hawaii's grid is literally "islanded" it can't rely on surrounding grids if there's a disruption to power on the system to prevent blackouts. The thinking goes if Hawaii's island can successfully integrate large amounts of renewables into its system, it should be possibly anywhere there are interconnected grid, like in mainland USA.

Europe's electric power markets are witnessing a significant evolution with the growing amounts of renewables on the grid, as well as growing demand side management across the continent. GE Energy Consulting Europe technical director Steve Pedder, discusses what all of this could mean for the future of European electric power industry.

Exploring What's Ahead for European Electric Power

Electric grids around the world are like living organisms - constantly growing, shrinking and shifting - most of which weren't originally designed to accommodate wind and solar power. World-renowned renewables integration expert Nick Miller discusses how scientists and engineers are revolutionizing technology and practice to add renewables DNA into dynamic grids.
