Managing complex microgrid systems with modern tech

Microgrids, which are energy systems with limited or no connection to a larger national grid, face significant operational complexity when integrating volatile renewable sources like wind and solar. In this episode, we are joined by Market and Financial Analyst at Wärtsilä Energy, Ella Teperi. The conversation covers real-world examples including the QMM mine in Madagascar and the Aqualektra utility in Curacao, demonstrating how these integrated solutions enable customers to achieve decarbonization goals while maintaining grid stability and reducing costs.  Connect with Ella on Linkedin here [https://www.linkedin.com/in/ella-teperi/] Follow Wärtsilä Energy on Linkedin here [https://www.linkedin.com/company/wartsila-energy-business] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Decoding Tomorrow's Power: How Future Fuels Are Reshaping Our Energy Decisions

We sat down with Rasmus Teir, Director of Sustainability and Future Plant Concepts at Wärtsilä Energy, to explore the radical shifts coming to our power systems.  Rasmus, a leading expert on future fuels, gives us the inside track on the decisions we need to make today to prepare for a decarbonised tomorrow.  Rasmus emphasises that there is no "silver bullet" solution. The optimal energy system will be a hybrid mix of renewables and sustainable fuels, built on a foundation of high-level national or regional planning.  Follow Rasmus Teir on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/rasmus-teir/] Follow Wärtsilä Energy on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/company/wartsila-energy-business] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Is 2026 the year Africa’s energy transition hits overdrive?

“It’s chaotic, but it’s a good kind of chaos.”    That is how Mark Howard, Editor at African Energy, describes the current liberalisation of the energy sector in our latest episode of The Energy Situation Room.    We’re moving away from the narrative of state monopolies and into an era of "positive disharmony" where regulators, utilities, and IPPs are pushing the industry forward.    What’s fuelling this optimism?  ⚡ Mission 300: A $50 billion push to electrify 300 million people by the end of the decade11.  ⚡ Grid Liberalisation: Private transmission procurement is finally materialising in South Africa, Kenya, and Mozambique.  ⚡ Market Liquidity: New opportunities for merchant plants and cross-border trading via power pools.    If you want to know what 2026 has in store for the industry, this is a must-listen.  Follow Wärtsilä Energy on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/company/wartsila-energy-business] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Tackling Africa's Energy Challenges

"The lack of legacy infrastructure is an opportunity for Africa to develop the smartest grids in the world." - Marc Thiriet, Director of Wärtsilä Energy in Africa:    That's one of the key takeaways from the inaugural episode of the Energy Situation Room podcast proudly hosted by Wärtsilä Energy.    In this episode, Marc Thiriet, Director [https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcthiriet/] of Wärtsilä Energy in Africa [https://www.linkedin.com/company/wartsila-energy-business], shares crucial insights from his discussions with industry leaders and experts across the continent as Africa is striving to close the 600 million person access gap while also managing a massive push for renewables.    We dive deep into the major challenges and solutions shaping Africa’s energy future and Marc shares his optimism, highlighting that financial institutions are starting to support gas/thermal projects that enable further renewable integration, and that national discussions are now taking place to simulate the smartest way to manage energy production for the next 20 - 30 years.    Listen now to get the full view of the energy situation in Africa and hear about the complex, hybrid solutions that are driving progress!     ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
