Onsite Seminar Integrating Solar and Wind into the Grid

10 October 2024

in Japanese

Renewable Energy Institute hosted 'Integrating Solar and Wind into the Grid' with Rena Kuwahata, Energy Analyst at the International Energy Agency (IEA) as guest speaker.

In September this year, IEA published a report on grid integration of variable renewable energy (VRE) entitled "Integrating Solar and Wind: Global Experience and Emerging Challenges." This is the first report to provide a comprehensive overview of how 50 power systems around the world are currently taking measures to integrate solar and wind power into the grid. It also identifies solutions that will enable higher levels of VRE integration in the future.

Japan needs to deploy large amounts of solar and wind power and achieve stable electricity supply and demand in order to transition to a decarbonized energy system.

There was a time for a QA session and the event were paricipated by many utilities, energy-related companies, relevant ministries and agencies, researchers.

Program  English-Japanese simultaneous interpretation provided.
