Join SEPA in this webinar sponsored by Petra Solar examining the key technical issues and barriers associated with PV integration as we move towards increased grid penetration. Many utilities are unaware of recent technology and performance improvements of intermittent renewable generation, and still regard renewable energy technology as disruptive energy generators. Learn about renewable energy technologies and configurations for grid stabilization including voltage regulation, low voltage ride-through, and microgrid operation and management that Petra Solar is using to tackle intermittency challenges.

Petra Solar’s GridWave technology manages grid effects caused by renewable generation intermittency such as sudden over or under voltage conditions, by sophisticated control algorithms. Several years of research, funded by the DOE and administered by Sandia National Laboratories, led to the productization of this unique Generator Emulation Controls (GEC) technology.
