he claim is often
made that renewable technologies cannot supply baseload power.
What is 'baseload power', and do we actually need it? This
seminar will explore whether a portfolio of renewable technologies can reliably
supply our power needs.
Our speakers will explore the emergence of new energy
storage technologies and the opportunities they present for renewable energy
integration. They will question the role different energy storage solutions
play in the supply of reliable electricity, and at what cost?
Speaker for the Wednesday, August 19 event in the Carrillo
Gantner Theatre at the University of Melbourne are the Deputy Director of the
Melbourne Energy Institute, Dr Roger Dargaville; the Foundation Director,
Centre for Sustainable Energy Systems, Australian National University, Dr
Andrew Blakers; and the Group Manager Planning, Australian Energy Market
Operator, Ms Nicola Falcon.
Moderator of the event will be ABC News Breakfast host,
Virginia Trioli.
The discussion starts at 6:30pm and light refreshments will
be provided following the 8:00pm close.
