How do we convert water or sun light into energy to charge your phone? Félix Perez, PV engineer answers this and more questions about the essentials of renewable energy.
Carla Coghen: Project finance and profitability of renewable energy
How do you assess the profitability of a PV plant? What factors impact on pricing? What does it mean LCOE and why everybody is talking about it? Carla Coghen is our guest in Ogami Station to solve all of these questions.
Patricio Peral: Why is everybody talking about batteries?
The development and cheapening of batteries allows to solve the great drawback of renewables: manageability. Patricio Peral stops by the third episode of Ogami Station to tell us all about storage.
Raquel Igualá: El rol del hidrógeno verde en la transición energética
En este episodio os presentamos a uno de los factores clave en la transición energética. ¿Qué es el hidrógeno verde? ¿Cuáles son las diferencias entre el verde, el gris o el azul? ¿Cómo se extrae y qué usos industriales, comerciales y residenciales tiene? Raquel Igualá, física de formación y Desarrolladora de Negocio en Energyear, visita al equipo de Ogami Station para dar respuesta a estas preguntas.
Marta Palencia-Lefler: Mária Telkes and women in STEM
Who was Mária Telkes? What were her contributions to the world of solar energy? What can we do to give the recognition they deserve to all the women who have been silenced in history? Marta Palencia-Lefler, a journalist with a passion for communication, answers these and more questions about Mária Telkes and women in science.
Manuel Sánchez: O&M of solar fields
What is the acronym O&M? To what extent will robots and technology be able to replace PV plant maintenance staff? Does it make sense to contract plant operation and maintenance packages from day 1 of commissioning?
In this episode of Ogami Station, the RatedPower podcast, Laura Rodríguez and Gabi Cañadas interview Manuel Sánchez-Merenciano, commercial director of PV at Ingeteam Service, one of the biggest players in the O&M industry for the renewable energy sector.
