Shaping the future of energy: Insights from Enlit Asia

Join our experts as they dive into the energy industry's most pressing topics, including renewable energy integration, hybrid power solutions, and the future of hydrogen-based generation.

Enlit Asia - What an event!

Enlit Asia is the premier regional event that unites the entire ASEAN power and energy value chain on one platform. It’s a place where industry leaders meet, inspire each other, and develop actionable strategies to advance the energy transition. Our team had the privilege of participating in Enlit Asia 2024 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We took the stage at the main conference and various Knowledge Hub sessions to discuss the industry's most pressing topics, including:

Utilising advanced market structures like five-minute settlement periods to integrate high shares of renewable energy
Exploring how engine technologies can bridge the gap between current renewable setups and a fully decarbonised future
Leveraging sustainable fuels like hydrogen to drive the transition

Enabling high renewable penetration:

Insights from 5-minute market settlement in Australia and the Philippines

Tri Nguyen

Manager, Market Development, Wärtsilä Energy

Tri’s award-winning presentation, which earned him the Best Paper Award at Enlit Asia 2024, dives into market innovations that drive renewable integration. Learn about:

Renewables shaping power systems: The evolution of renewable energy, its transformative impact on power systems, and recommended market designs for enabling high-renewable energy systems.
Five-minute market settlements: Insights from real-world case studies in Australia and the Philippines, demonstrating how shorter settlement intervals enhance price signals, improve demand forecasting, and incentivise investment in flexible generation.
The role of flexibility: Detailed comparisons of technologies, with simulation data underscoring why Wärtsilä’s flexible internal combustion engines excel in balancing renewable output.

Engines as catalysts for decarbonisation:

Hybrid today, hydrogen tomorrow

Nitish Bhat

Financial and Market Analyst, Wärtsilä Energy

Nitish explains how hybrid solutions—combining solar, batteries, and flexible engine power—are key to reliable renewable integration. Key points include:

Hybrid efficiency: Why pure renewable setups require costly oversizing, and how hybrids avoid this issue by leveraging on engines for balancing.
Operational flexibility: How Wärtsilä’s engines offer rapid start/stop capabilities and efficient part-load performance, ensuring system reliability.
Future-proofing with hydrogen: Insights into transitioning to sustainable fuels, with Wärtsilä’s world-first large-scale hydrogen engine power plant as a case study.

Decarbonisation with sustainable fuels:

Prospects of hydrogen-based power generation

Avani Garg

Manager, Project Development & Strategy, Wärtsilä Energy

Avani’s presentation explores how hydrogen can be utilised to decarbonise the power sector, looking at the 3 fundamental puzzle pieces of the hydrogen trilemma—supply, midstream infrastructure, and technology. She discusses:

Supply challenges: The availability of green hydrogen for power generation usage, along with the current & forecasted costs.
Infrastructure needs: Logistical hurdles in storage and transportation of hydrogen.
Technology readiness: How Wärtsilä’s engines are already adapted for a 25% hydrogen blend, cutting CO₂ emissions and setting the stage for fully hydrogen-ready power plants in the future.
