MIT SDM Systems Thinking Webinar Series
Jorge Moreno and Donny Holaschutz, Cofounders, inodú; SDM Alumni
Jorge Moreno, SDM ’11, and Donny Holaschutz, SDM ’10
Date: Tuesday, May 8, 2018
Slides available here.
About the Presentation
Chile was one of fewer than 15 countries worldwide that had solar and wind energy production levels above 10 percent in 2017. Rapidly integrating these renewable sources into the power system has created significant challenges and opportunities for regulators, system operators, and market entities.
This webinar will explain how both public and private entities can take advantage of the transition now under way in Chile’s power system. It will cover:
- challenges and opportunities created in the operation of the power system;
- elements driving the need for flexibility to support renewable energy integration in the power system; and
- key regulatory and policy challenges to incentivize a more flexible power system in the future.
A Q&A will follow the presentation. We invite you to join us!
