IEEE Connecticut PES Webinar: Integrating Offshore Wind
Expert insight on today's foremost power technology topic
America is quickly ramping up it’s demand for renewable energy resources and offshore wind will be a significant contributor for the coastal states. As project awards increase into the gigawatt range, the integration of renewable energy into weak coastal grids creates new challenges and new opportunities. This presentation will provide a high-level overview of the various transmission components involved in interconnecting large-scale offshore wind and some of the risks and challenges faced by offshore wind developers.
CT PES is grateful to have Brook Knodel, Director of Engineering for Orsted US, as presenter for this exciting technical webinar.
