Abstract


Energy storage is becoming an important topic when combined with renewable energy, especially solar systems. While not necessary for most grid tie solar applications, battery storage for residential and small business is an area of increasing interest for consumers, electricians, electrical engineers and technologists. Small grid considerations as well as instrumentation and control are areas that have unique issues when it comes to small scale energy storage with battery storage implementations. Section 64 of the Canadian Electrical Code, for example, presents implementation challenges for some of the grid tied solar/storage systems which may operate at 300-1500 Volts DC. After a Solar 101 introduction, the speaker will go over examples of solar storage technology available
and a few implementation scenarios, followed by a question and answer period. This is an interactive webinar and welcomes comments from the audience throughout the talk.
