Unlocking The Future Of Energy Through Business Model
Transformation, Digitalisation And Decarbonisation Of The Energy Industry
Organised by IQPC Australia and in Partnership With The International Microgrid Association
Power grids all over the world are being increasingly challenged by weather events, cyber threats and the rapid growth of distributed energy resources. As a result, grid operators are realising the role that microgrids can play in improving resiliency, reliability and efficiency of power supply.
However, the challenge is to seamlessly orchestrate hybrid central energy resources with DERs, while maintaining grid security and safety in a microgrid. Operating in parallel with utility distribution systems and seamlessly transitioning to ‘island’ mode is just the beginning…
The first event of its kind in the southern hemisphere, the International Microgrid Event will explore the global transition towards utility optimisation and electrification through advanced microgrids.
Leaders from across the globe will come together to assess the evolution of the industry from a regulatory and technological perspective. From utilities to regulators and government agencies; a cross industry perspective on how to leverage the opportunities offered by microgrids will be provided through panels, workshops, case studies and debates.
“Australia’s energy sector is experiencing a rapid transformation and it’s encouraging to see industry investing in new technologies and aiding research for a cleaner, greener energy future.” – Western Australian Energy Minister Bill Johnston
WHAT TO EXPECT!
- A 3 STREAMED EVENT – deep diving into business model transformation, operating strategy for greener energy and digital capability to support microgrid security, interoperability and optimisation.
- A CROSS-INDUSTRY SUITE OF EXPERT SPEAKERS – from ministers and executives from across the energy industry including San Diego Gas & Electric, USA; Western Power; ATCO Gas; Jemena; Horizon Power; AEMO; AEMC; the Department of Defence & more.
- FOUR INTERACTIVE PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS – offering tailored approaches for addressing how to launch a microgrid; the introduction of a renewable-first practice, the incorporation of hydrogen into commercial scale hybrid microgrids and how to leverage and optimise existing assets and technologies in the evolving environment.
- A DEDICATED SITE TOUR DAY – visiting both ATCO’s Clean Energy Innovation Hub and Horizon Power’s Vertically Integrated Microgrid Control Centre.
- BRILLIANCE CLINICS – on enabling multi-directional power flow and interoperability, confronting new cyber security risks, tools for increasing hosting capacity of DER, diversifying your asset portfolio, integrating more renewable energy into operations and more.
