Brad Harkavy (VP of Product at Oracle Energy & Water) speaks with Ravi and JAM about the challenges and opportunities in managing DER systems.

Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) play a key role in the energy transition by decentralizing power generation, integrating renewable sources, and improving grid efficiency by reducing transmission losses. They enhance energy resilience through diverse supply sources and enable consumer participation in energy markets, accelerating the shift to a low-carbon economy. A DER Management System (DERMS) can turn DER intermittency into a dispatchable grid resource that supports reliability and efficiency goals.

Are Battery Energy Storage Systems the key to unlocking the Energy Trilemma? Is the cost of grid-scale batteries decreasing? What is the business model for a BESS owner? How does BESS react to electricity price volatility?

We speak with Neil Weaver (Research Director al Modo Energy) to get the answers to these questions and more.

James Macnaghten, CEO of Caldera and inventor of many thermal energy storage patents, speaks with Ravi and JAM on decarbonizing industrial heat to drastically reduce global CO2 emissions. We already have technology to address a big piece of this Market and we shouldn't miss taking these low-hanging fruits.
