Solar Storage Systems and the Internet of Energy for Bases and Forward Operations

January 11, 2019
DRMI Auditorium
1300—1430

Dr. Ryan Wartena

Co-Founder, Growing Energy Labs, Inc.

Abstract

Energy storage is now a proven solution with positive financial outcomes and often improves the economics of solar projects alone.  Geli has developed an Internet of Energy platform to help energy developers and operators accurately design, control, and manage networked energy systems, sites, and fleets of energy systems. This presentation will introduce Geli’s work in solar storage projects and Microgrids for U.S. Military Bases, industrial sites, and campuses and Black Rock Labs work in deploying solar storage energy systems for forward operations to support desert camps and art projects at the annual Burning Man festival.
