Join featured NYEW Host, ABB, for this exclusive 2017 Energy Market Intelligence Workshop at New York Energy Week. Top analyts and market experts present a full-day workshop on the legislative, regulatory and economic assumptions contributing to environmental, power and fuels market price forecasts. The ABB team will discuss complexities across the North American power markets, with a special focus on microgrids.
A must attend event, this workshop provides NYEW attendees a forum for industry discussion and debate supporting energy market investors, portfolio planners, power marketers and analysts with tools to:
Confront the conventional wisdom and look past the rhetoric. Ask your most challenging questions about the technological, political and economic forces shaping the power industry.
Workshop Agenda Topic Highlights:State of the North American energy market – How are Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) affecting the power markets? What are the risks with natural gas fired resources taking a larger role in energy generation and how are the risks being mitigated? As the Mexico market evolves what trends are emerging?
Environmental policy – Where is it headed under the new White House administration and how are states responding? What are the key legal and policy challenges for existing policies? What key decisions and legal outcomes could have an impact on the power sector in the near term?
Renewable development – When does wind and solar reach parity or has it already? Is there a renewable development opportunity in Mexico? This one could pull double duty for the power markets review. Renewable development has outpaced traditional as of late, how long will or can this trend continue?
Microgrids – Through the application of computer software, utility communications, and analytics, the digital grid concept is transforming the grid. Digital substations, advanced distribution management systems, distributed energy resource management systems, and utility analytics are examples of technologies that are changing the landscape. In addition to recent power grid developments that focus on the digital grid, renewable generation, energy storage integration and microgrids, this presentation will also address the three main strategies for embedded, customer grid-connected, and islanded microgrids.
Gain a deeper understanding of the transformations in our markets. Data visualization tools developed by ABB's Velocity Suite will make the story behind the data very interesting; expect to see maps and graphs presenting layers of data, in context, across geography.
