Session 2.3: Embedding Climate-Resilient and Adaptation Strategies in Energy Systems

Speakers and panelists in this session will discuss a micro-grid approach that has proven resilient for several years after a major typhoon in the Philippines; performance of battery energy storage systems; performance of a new heat exchanger tech in a chicken farm in Vietnam; assessment of climate risks and resilience using macroeconomic modeling; the role of fintech solutions in driving carbon neutrality in Indian MSMEs; and climate resilient energy systems for Southeast Asian island communities. Track Chair: David Morgado, Senior Energy Specialist, ADB Moderator: David Morgado, Senior Energy Specialist, ADB

10:40 - 11:10 a.m.	Presentations (10 minutes per speaker) *Reliable Renewable Energy Survives Typhoon and is the only Power for Kilometers* Michael Carroll, CEO, HeliosAltas Corp *Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS): Grid Flexibility Asset of Today* Hanzel Cubangbang, Senior Market Applications Officer – SEA Fluence The pursuit towards a Low-Carbon and Resilient Future is critical for our future. While technologies like Battery-based Energy Storage System (BESS) can address several grid challenges, they often dubbed as the more costly solution than traditional alternatives. But it is now becoming more known that BESS can be a more cost-effective solution if planned, coordinated and managed accordingly. *Using waste heat from industrial wastewater in Vietnam* Tsuyoshi Shiga, Manager of International Business Promotion Section ASANO TAISEIKISO ENGINEERING CO., LTD. The result of the TIC project will be presented to show the performance of an installed Polyethylene-made Heat Exchanger named “G-Hex” in a chicken processing factory in Vietnam. The system utilizes discarded thermal energy of cold wasted water for pre-cooling and proved its high performance.
