WindSTAR Webinar - Evolving to Support a Low-Carbon Transformation
Tuesday, October 10, 11 a.m. EDT
Companies, countries, and whole continents are committing to various versions of zero carbon or net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050. Brandon Fitchett of Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) will present some hypothetical electricity and power system transformational scenarios with stages at 2030, 2040, and 2050 that could lead to such targets. In all cases, wind and solar expand drastically. In many cases, hydrogen, storage, and nuclear also play a role in the longer-term. Renewables plants, specifically, will need to be built more productive, more reliable, and more flexible than ever before. EPRI will present some renewables research challenges and technology directions needed to support the future power system.
