This is a special episode of More Power To You, the first episode recorded in front of a live audience. Earlier this month the Maryland Clean Energy Center hosted its annual Maryland Clean Energy Summit in College Park, and I moderated a panel titled The Mechanics of Offshore Wind: Moving to the Grid of the Future. The four panelists were:
- Jason Folsom, Offshore Wind Representative for the Americas for Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy
- Prem Pereira, Project Construction Director for Deepwater Wind
- Markian Melnyk, President of Atlantic Grid Development, and
- Belton Zeigler, Partner and Co-Leader of the Energy and Natural Resources Team at the law firm Womble Bond Dickinson
This wide-ranging conversation touches on a broad range of issues that all relate to offshore wind, including the economics of offshore wind, different approaches to building the offshore transmission infrastructure, grid integration, load balancing and much more.
Presenters' slide decks:
- Prem Pereira: Deepwater Wind
- Markian Melnyk: Atlantic Grid Development
