In Episode 16, Haroon Inam, Chief Technology Officer of Smart Wires, joins Michael for Energy Terminal’s first podcast recording in front of a live audience as part of Duke University’s Climate Commitment. Haroon and Michael discuss the double-sided impact of the energy transition on the electricity grid: higher renewable energy generation on the supply side, and greater electrification on the demand side. They then move into Smart Wires’ revolutionary technology to mitigate grid strain before sharing career advice and ways for students to get involved.

 

Keynotes:

• How increased renewable energy generation will affect grid stability
• The future of energy storage and grid reliability solutions
• The impacts of the IRA on energy systems
• And much more!
