Energy Technology Perspectives: Microgrids to Fuel Cells

Microgrids, fuel cells, energy storage systems, batteries, low emission engines; a range of power generation and energy technologies are poised to get the spotlight this decade, and for good reasons.

Humankind’s need for energy went up every single year, except 2008, over the last three decades. The increased use of energy — electricity more specifically— puts increasing pressure on environmental sustainability and economics. This is where leading power generation technologies and innovations come to help businesses and the environment.

Join Thomas, Cathy and Gary as they discuss the energy and power generation technologies as well as innovations that will reduce emissions and speed up the clean energy transition.

The discussion starts with the role of economics and sustainability driving the need for innovations in energy and power generation markets. Thomas, Cathy and Gary then pivot to three energy and power generation technologies that will shape our decade: connectivity, microgrids and fuel cells. The team shares perspectives on each technology including how they work, their impact on environmental sustainability and how businesses leverage them.

Additional discussions covered in this episode include:

• How does connectivity come to life in energy and power generation?
• What is the linkage between microgrids and renewables and what is the environmental impact?
• What exactly is a fuel cell?

Listen in if you enjoy knowing the latest in energy and power generation technologies and innovations.
