Emerson’s Director of Renewables, Matthew Roberts, explores how hybrid hydroelectric plants that include battery energy storage systems (BESS) can help the energy industry meet its net-zero goals. Extreme weather events caused by climate change are becoming more frequent. Integrated hybrid energy systems can help increase resiliency and reliability of the grid. Matt explains in his article in Microgrid Knowledge the importance of hydropower and how it is relevant in the world’s electricity supply.
