Marine-i is launching a series of online events to explore the opportunity for incorporating marine energy into smart grids, especially in isolated communities. This series is a collaboration between Marine-i and the EU-funded ICE (Intelligent Community Energy) Project, which aims to design and implement smart energy solutions in the Channel area.
These events will highlight opportunities in this sector, particularly how land-based renewable energy companies can work in partnership with the marine sector.Guest speakers will include Douglas Cheung of Hitachi, Oshian Roberts of Minesto, Anthony Price of Swanbarton and Anna Stegman from Energy Systems Catapult.
The first two events in the series are as follows:
- 17th September (10am-12pm): Smart Grids and Island Opportunities
- 1st October (10am-12pm); Marine Technologies and Smart Solutions
