Michael’s paper, Is Wind “Power to Gas” Ready for Prime Time on the North American Grid? was selected for presentation at CLEANPOWER 2020. The gas referred to is green hydrogen (H2) or synthetic natural gas [methane {CH4 }]. The grids referred are the natural gas grid for the CH4 (or H2) gas that leaves the P2G Plant and the electric grid for the wind power that powers the P2G Plant. CLEANPOWER 2020 was VIRTUAL.
CLEANPOWER 2020: STRONGER TOGETHER–THE VIRTUAL ePOSTER GALLERY RECEPTION was June 1. The virtual ePOSTER GALLERY is still open. There is no charge to visit the Gallery. You must bring your own wine and cheese.
At this reception, Michael made an ePoster presentation of his paper, Is Power to Gas (P2G) Ready for Prime time on the North American Grid?

Michael can quantify what your power to gas (P2G) plant specs have to be to compute a levelized cost of gas (LCOG) that makes sense for prime time operation. The cost will be computed in US$/mmBtu (€/kWh).
Michael presented two ePosters ( 1. A Levelized Cost (LCOS) Financial Algorithm for Computing the Levelized Cost (US$/MWh) of the Bulk Storage of Solar (Wind) Energy; 2. Is P2G Ready for Prime Time on the North American Grid?) in the Finance and Asset Management Track of the ePoster Gallery at the North America 2020 Smart Week Conference (14 Sept-27 Oct).
Michael’s ePoster, Is P2G Ready for Prime Time on the North American Grid?, was also presented in a virtual Expo Hall Speech on 21 Oct 2020.

Michael’s paper, Is Hydrogen Energy Storage Ready for Prime Time on the North American Grid. A Guide for Bankers and Investors, was selected for presentation at ASES SOLAR 2020, 23-26 June, Washington, DC. ASES SOLAR 2020 was Virtual.
Michael presented his paper on 24 June in the Finance Track: Clean Energy Financing.
Michael posted his ASES SOLAR 2020 PAPER and Excel LCOS Algorithm WORKBOOK at https://tinyurl.com/C-Power2020
Michael can quantify what your hydrogen energy storage plant specs have to be to compute a levelized cost of storage (LCOS) that makes sense for prime time operation. The cost will be computed in US$/MWh (€/MWh).
Michael took a break from writing his ASES SOLAR 2020 paper to go outside. Here is a picture of the sun on Griffith Mountain in Georgetown, CO.
Michael’s paper, Is Hydrogen Energy Storage Ready for Prime Time on the European Grid?, was presented at Wind Europe 2019, 2-4 April, Bilbao, Spain. Download his paper and its Excel LCOS Financial Algorithm Workbook at https://tinyurl.com/y6uptvrd
Michael’s paper, Is Hydrogen Energy Storage Ready for Prime Time on the North American Grid, was presented at Solar Power International 2019 (SPI-19), 23-26 September, Salt Lake City UT.
In a case study for his WindEurope 2018 paper, Michael used the utility-scale Cabin Creek Pumped Hydro Storage Plant (324 MW|1,496 MWh) located in Clear Creek County, CO. Georgetown, CO is the county seat of Clear Creek County. The Cabin Creek specs are subject to revision after the current upgrade is completed.
