Virtual Workshop on Hydrogen in Decarbonization Strategies in Asia and the Pacific Read more about Virtual Workshop on Hydrogen in Decarbonization Strategies in Asia and the Pacific Green hydrogen produced by renewable energy can help tackle sustainability challenges in sectors such as transportation, building development, and power generation, and enable larger-scale penetration of variable renewable energy when combined with emerging low-carbon technologies.
Reimagining Puerto Rico: The Mini Gird Transformation Read more about Reimagining Puerto Rico: The Mini Gird Transformation PREPA has developed a power system transformation plan calling for separating the territory into 8 autonomous mini-grids that would operate independently in the event of a major catastrophe. Loads within each mini-grid are categorized into critical, priority, and general. Critical loads are served with microgrids within the mini-grids. Each mini-grid will have generation within the grid to continuously power critical and priority loads. The plan calls for closing over 3 GW of fossil oil-fired units and replacing them with 2 GW of solar, 1 GW of BESS, and 1GW of gas turbines fueled by LNG.
