SUMMARY:Utility Scale Solar & Storage Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The Clean Energy Business Council\, a project of the Climate + Energy Project\, is hosting a webinar with special guests Robert Wright\, Renewable Energy Development Manager at Burns & McDonnell and Frank Jakob\, Energy Storage Technology Manager at Black & Veatch to discuss utility-scale solar and storage.\n\n\n\nPanelists include Dorothy Barnett\, Executive Director of the Climate + Energy Project\, as host; Bill Roush\, CEP Board Member\, as moderator; Robert Wright\, Renewable Energy Development Manager at Burns & McDonnell\, as a presenter; and Frank Jakob\, Energy Storage Technology Manager at Black & Veatch\, as a presenter.\n\n\n\nRecording Available Now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresentation Slides \n\n\n\nPresenters\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobert Wright\, Burns & McDonnell\n\n\n\nMr. Robert Wright is the Renewable Energy Development Manager for the technical development and implementation of new renewable generation for Burns & McDonnell’s Energy Division. His duties include technology comparisons\, cost estimating\, performance optimization\, economic analysis\, conceptual design\, siting studies\, and project coordination. Additionally\, Mr. Wright helps clients determine overarching project strategies to go from conception through regulatory approval focusing on competitive and winning approaches. \n\n\n\nMr. Wright incorporates current market conditions\, policies\, and tax benefits into his analyses. He has his professional engineering license in mechanical engineering as well as a master’s degree in Engineering Management and a bachelor’s degree in Engineering Physics\, both from the Colorado School of Mines. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrank Jakob\, Black & Veatch\n\n\n\nMr. Frank Jakob\, P.E.\, PMP\, is the Energy Storage Technology Manager at Black & Veatch. He leads the design of energy storage systems that improve and enhance renewable and conventional electricity generation. He has over 30 years of experience with developing new applications for products. Now his focus is on electrochemical devices (batteries and fuel cells) and bulk storage technology (pumped hydro\, compressed air\, and sensible & latent thermal heat storage technologies) in short- and mid- and long-term energy storage applications for renewable energy (solar photovoltaic and wind turbine systems) and for conventional generation (turbines\, engines; hydroelectric generation\, and thermal power plants.) Frank adds energy storage to improve operations\, extend life\, increase responsiveness\, and decrease emissions — including carbon footprints and greenhouse gasses. \n\n\n\nMost recently Frank has been growing Black & Veatch’s energy storage EPC practice and Owners’ Engineering services.
