Future of Power

Booth #3521

Decarbonization and the growth of renewable energy sources are shifting the power generating mix. Coal plant retirements have largely been offset by increases in natural gas-fired generation and renewable energy. Zero-carbon sources such as nuclear are seeing widespread interest. Meanwhile, widespread electrification will drive the need to add significant new generating capacity in the coming years.

Speakers in this hub will examine the latest trends and developments to provide a glimpse into how the future of power might look.

Hydrogen

Booth #2752

Hydrogen is a leading option for storing renewable energy and for power generation, as it can be blended with natural gas and combusted in turbines to increase system flexibility. Utilities are increasingly interested in this versatile energy carrier, but challenges remain to scale up hydrogen storage and develop technology that can readily support the shift to 100% hydrogen combustion. Presenters in this hub will showcase emerging hydrogen projects and technologies.

Topics include:

  • Hydrogen-powered turbines
  • Electrolysis
  • Fuel cell technologies
  • Hydrogen storage
  • Modeling and financing

New Energy Mix + Microgrids

Booth #821

Microgrids, flexible gen-sets and co-generation represent a growing segment of the energy transition and the shift from centralized power to distributed generation. Microgrid technology also has matured and is recognized for its resiliency benefits. As traditional grids become strained with increasing energy demands as well as natural and man-made disturbances, microgrids provide an answer for cities, rural communities and mission-critical facilities.

The speakers in this hub will present the latest on:

  • Combined heat and power (CHP)
  • Microgrid economics
  • Scalable microgrid solutions
  • Microgrids in disaster applications
  • On-site gas and diesel technologies
  • Energy security and backup
  • Gen-set ratings
  • Hybrid technologies
  • ISO standards
  • Reciprocating engines
  • Load following
  • Responses to regulatory change
