La generación distribuida produce electricidad cerca de los puntos de consumo y se conecta normalmente a la red de distribución. Descubre cómo funciona, qué tipos existen, ejemplos, requisitos técnicos y diferencias frente al autoconsumo y Utility Scale.
Discover what permitting is, which permits an energy project needs, its stages and risks, and how it affects RTB, CAPEX and financing.
Self-consumption enables the generation of electricity to meet all or part of the energy needs of a home, business or industrial facility. Find out how it works, the differences between individual and collective self-consumption, the options with and without surplus electricity, and the main technologies used.
A PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) is a medium- or long-term contract for the sale and purchase of electricity between a generator and a buyer. In the renewable energy sector, it can be structured as a physical, virtual, financial, on-site, off-site or sleeved PPA, depending on the method of delivery, settlement and location of the asset.
O&M (Operations and Maintenance) engloba las actividades de operación, supervisión y mantenimiento necesarias para garantizar el rendimiento, disponibilidad y seguridad de una instalación de energías renovables durante toda su vida útil.
The LCOE, or levelled cost of energy, enables the average cost of generating electricity over the lifetime of a facility to be estimated. Find out how it is calculated and which variables influence the LCOE of an energy project.
Redispatch is an operational mechanism within the electricity system that enables adjustments to generation or consumption in order to manage congestion and maintain grid stability. Find out how it works and why it is important for the integration of renewable energy.
EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) is the most widely used contractual model for large-scale renewable energy projects. Find out what it involves, what its phases are, the responsibilities of the EPC contractor, and why this model is key to the financing and implementation of solar power stations, wind farms and energy storage systems.
Bankability is one of the most important concepts in the development of energy projects. Find out what it means, how it is assessed and what factors influence the ability of a solar power plant, a wind farm or a BESS system to secure funding.
Find out what a BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) is, how it works, its components, advantages and applications in energy storage and renewable energy.
