About the seminar
Increasing global interest in renewable energy sources that are modular in size, scale, and system configuration, has driven the market potential of micro-grids and distributed generation systems. It has the potential to remove our dependence on oil and enable the other 2 billion people to improve their quality of life in our generation with remote off-grid solutions. Great interest has been shown to regions like SE Asia where natural resources favour this type of solution. Specifically in Singapore, interest is high in Intelligent Energy Systems, “smart grids” and test-bedding projects, such as the EMA Pulau Ubin project, micro-grids. At the Energy Studies Institute, Dr. Michael Quah, Principal Fellow and Chief Scientist, has also made presentations globally on issues of energy diversity and the need for “command and control” systems, where the system integrates a variety of power sources (AC, synchronous and asynchronous, with DC systems) to produce high quality power. Such innovations are often touted as generation solutions which could be embedded into T&D (transmission and distribution) networks or as off-grid applications for use in remote locations, rural electrification, eco-resorts, and the like.
This seminar, by Mr. Lakatos-Hayward, will shed more (and new) light into the challenges and new business opportunities for micro-grids. The speaker will expound the synergies of such systems with the rapid growth in the modern telecommunications industry.
