8 Renewable Energy Workshops @ RENERGY 2014



8 Unique and I nsightful Renewable Energy Expert Workshops @ RENERGY 2014




Jun 12 2.30 PM 5.30 PM
2:30 PM 5:30 PM Concentrating Solar Technologies - Community Cooking, Space Cooling &
Process Heat Applications
Concentrating Solar Thermal
Until a few years back concentrating solar heat was used predominantly for power generation known
as concentrating solar power (CSP).

But today, using the same CSP technology as the base but with lesser sophistication, solutions are
available that allow concentrating solar heat to generate steam up to 200 deg C, something that can be
used in many process industries for most of their heating purposes. This has opened up the new domain
of concentrating solar thermal (CST).

CST is today a commercial solution and has already been adopted / implemented at many process
industries in the country including diaries, food manufacturing units, large canteens and kitchens and the
like.

Workshop Topics:
Concentrated Solar Technology, Solar heating applications in process industry, Arun/ Paraboloid
Technology, Parabolic Trough Concentrators, Scheffler Technology
Technology aspects of concentrating solar thermal and how it is different from the solar water
heater technology
Spectrum of industrial applications for concentrating solar thermal technologies
Case studies of the use of CST in industrial and commercial applications
Interactive Q&A where the experts answer specific questions on technical and end use aspects of
CST

Workshop Speakers:
Dr. R Velraj, Director, Institute for Energy Studies, Anna University
Dr. Palaniyappan, Planters Energy Network
Mr. Valliyappan, Greenera Energy
Mr. Girish, Clique Solar

2:30 PM 3:30 PM Scheduling and forecasting of Wind FARMS
Scheduling & Forecasting of Wind Farms

India is progressing fast on the wind power front, with over 21,000 MW of wind farms installed.
As the contribution of wind power increases in the grid power mix, so does the necessity for forecasting
and scheduling of wind power, as wind is not a firm source of power.
A number of technology developments have taken place in the last few years in the forecasting and
scheduling of wind power. This workshop session provides you the latest insights and updates.

Workshop Details: Case study on forecasting and scheduling software framework, integration with
wind farms and actual implementation details to be presented by REConnect Energy
Background and concepts of the forecasting framework
Empirical data and analysis results from wind farms
Technology concepts behind the software
Insights on future developments in the scheduling and forecasting technologies.
3:30 PM 4:30 PM O&M for LARGE WIND FARMS
O&M for Large Wind Farms

With over 21,000 MW of wind power installed, and with states other than Tamil Nadu also starting to
have sizable capacities of wind farms, the operations and maintenance of wind farms has come into the
limelight.
Wind power O&M presents both challenges and significant business opportunities especially to small
and medium businesses.

This workshop on O&M for large wind farms is a unique program from where you can learn about the
technical and operational aspects of O&M for large, MW scale wind farms, and also get a unique
opportunity to meet experts and business prospects.

Workshop Details: Case study on operation and maintenance of large scale wind farms Role of third
party O&M services, technology and software in wind farm maintenance by Omkar Clean Energy
Services
Details of the entire wind farm O&M value chain

Opportunities available for entrepreneurs and small businesses in this sector
4:30 PM 5:30 PM ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN INCREASING RENEWABLE POWER
GENERATION
Use of IT for Wind Farm Yield Optimization a workshop by IBM
As the use of renewables (especially wind and solar) grows, IT will start playing a vital role. The
distributed and decentralized nature of renewables, the volatility and infirmness inherently present in
these sources, and the need for a smart grid, are forcing the hands of the energy sector to heavily invest
in IT as a critical tool to gain the most from renewable energy.

This unique workshop on the Role of Technology in Increasing Renewable Power Generation is a rare
opportunity for delegates to understand how a global industry leader such as IBM is viewing the
intersection of ET (energy technologies) and IT and their real life work in integrating IT in wind farms.

10:00 AM 11:30 AM WASTE TO ENERGY HOLISTIC ECOSYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
Waste to Energy Ecosystem Development

In the last few years, the waste to energy sector has seen significant challenges to large scale
implementation. While the promise of this sector is obvious, especially given that MSW (municipal solid
waste) management has been a critical pain point for many urban areas, a sustainable model for this
sector is not as easy as it appears.
This unique workshop on developing a holistic ecosystem is a much needed session where multiple
stakeholders deliberate on what could be a holistic but at the same practical model for sustainable waste
management and recovery of energy.
A workshop not to be missed for those keen on understanding the practical issues and challenges in the
waste to energy sector.

Workshop Details: Case study on successful implementation of a holistic end to end solution for waste
management. The workshop will involve detailed discussions on involving all stakeholders relevant
during the life cycle of the process (Waste collection to energy conversion) by Dr. Francin Pinto and

11:45 AM 12:45 PM WIND SOLAR HYBRID iN MEGAWATT SCALE ENERGY FARMS
MW Scale Wind / Solar Hybrids Inferences from a Feasibility Study

Wind / solar hybrids are not new; there are thousands of these systems worldwide. However, these are
typically small scale systems (a few kW).

What is of greater interest to utilities are large scale solar/wind hybrids systems where MW scale solar
and wind farms can be collocated. The synergies are obvious better utilization of land and electrical
evacuation infrastructure, and synergies in operations and maintenance. There will be added benefits in
more stable power, as solar and wind power have complimentarity (the sun shines when there is little
wind vice versa).
In the first ever feasibility study that has been done anywhere in the world, EAI assisted TEDA
(organizers of RENERGY 2014) in conducting a feasibility study for such large-scale solar-wind hybrid
farms.

The results of this study are highly positive and could provide the impetus for TN and many other states
make pioneering efforts in collocating solar and wind farms. Details of and inferences from this study are
presented in this session by experts from EAI.

Workshop Details: Presentation on feasibility study of collocating wind solar hybrids in megawatt scale
farms
Rationale behind large-scale, grid connected solar/wind hybrid farms
Detailed inputs on synergies available in such hybrid farms
Details on quantified benefits from land/civil infrastructure synergies, evacuation infrastructure
synergies
Technical and operational challenges for these hybrid wind farms and perspectives on how hard
these challenges are
Overall inferences on technical and economic feasibility of such projects
