Managing curtailment and protecting portfolio value with solar + storage
Curtailment is having a growing impact on the financial performance of renewable energy portfolios. Longer and more frequent curtailment periods, particularly during periods of high renewable output, are creating new challenges for asset owners seeking to maximize returns. At the same time, the growth of solar and storage portfolios is introducing new complexity around performance, revenue optimization, and asset management.
Join DNV's solar and storage experts alongside Trinasolar to explore the drivers behind these trends, including increasing solar penetration, negative pricing events, and the rise of hybrid portfolios. During this interactive session, we will discuss how renewable asset managers can better understand where value is being lost, assess the financial impact of performance losses, and make data-backed operational and commercial decisions.
What you'll take away
- How Trinasolar’s Asset Management team tackles the growing complexity of solar, storage, and curtailment, including approaches for reducing revenue leakage and identifying losses earlier
- How to identify the different causes of curtailment and determine which drivers can be anticipated and proactively managed
- How operators can use curtailed energy more effectively in solar + storage portfolios, including considerations for battery charging and the role of price forecasts in identifying higher-value opportunities
- How to quantify the financial impact of curtailment and other performance losses so you can focus on the issues that have the greatest effect on portfolio returns
