As electrification accelerates, ensuring the cost-effectiveness, stability, and efficiency of the power grid will require managing how and when EVs are charged and using the electricity stored in the battery to provide valuable flexibility services to the power grid. A new report, "Plugging into potential: unleashing the untapped flexibility of ...
EPRI, a global non-profit energy research and development organization, this week announced the international expansion of its DCFlex initiative, starting with participants in Europe.Introduced last year in the United States, DCFlex explores how data centers can support the electric grid, enable better asset utilization, and improve interconnection and efficiency. The collaborative effort—with ...
Resource Innovations, a leading provider of clean energy solutions, and The Mobility House, a global leader in vehicle-grid integration technology, have been selected by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center to spearhead a first-of-its-kind statewide vehicle-to-everything (V2X) demonstration program. This two-year initiative will deploy bidirectional charging infrastructure to enhance grid ...
Honeywell this week announced that SECO Energy, a not-for-profit electric utility based in Florida and the seventh largest cooperative in the U.S., will be the first to use Honeywell Forge Performance+ for Utilities to help automate and modernize its grid assets. The integration of software from SparkMeter, a global provider of grid management solutions, into the Honeywell Forge platform is also ...
This week, the U.S. Department of Energy announced $32 million for six selected pilot projects that will support new load growth through grid-edge innovations and the ability of energy providers to right-size grid investments for future load growth. These Connected Communities projects in eight states will also provide new strategies and tools for utilities, grid planners and operators, ...
EPRI this week announced the launch of a new initiative—DCFlex—to explore how data centers can support the electric grid, enable better asset utilization, and support the clean energy transition. The initiative’s founding members include Compass Datacenters, Constellation Energy, Duke Energy, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), Google, Meta, New York Power Authority, NRG Energy, ...
Faced with the challenge of electric grid modernization, many have called for supporting utility managers and operators with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) tools that can remove some of their decision-making burden. Understandably, utilities are cautious in adopting new technologies when the consequences of failure are costly and could affect customers. Additionally, the ...
Power companies and electric grid developers turn to simulation tools as they attempt to understand how modern equipment will be affected by rapidly unfolding events in a complex grid. A challenging and particularly promising type of grid simulation, called electromagnetic transient analysis, or EMT, has the potential to enhance planners’ understanding of how modern power electronics will respond ...
U.S. Senators Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), and Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) this week introduced two bills to bolster the nation’s power grid by improving data and models to better understand and predict electric reliability.More granular data is needed to better understand weather impacts on energy resources and demands, especially as extreme weather events exacerbated by climate ...
As our electricity grids transition to net zero carbon, and with a proliferation of intermittent wind and solar energy, electricity networks around the world are being strained. This is coupled with closure of centralised coal, gas and nuclear power stations. Further strain is being put on the power networks with electrification of transport and ...
In support of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy this week announced $45 million to 16 projects across six states to protect the nation’s energy sector from cyber attacks. Managed by DOE’s Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER), selected projects will help develop new cybersecurity tools and technologies designed to ...
Itron, Inc. and Schneider Electric are collaborating to improve energy and grid management for utilities as homeowners and businesses increasingly adopt distributed energy resources (DER)—like rooftop solar, battery energy storage, electric vehicles and microgrids—at the grid edge. In a stepwise approach, the companies will integrate their intelligent grid and DER management solutions to ...
Green Mountain Power this week (Oct 10) launched its Zero Outages Initiative, the first utility in the country to commit to a comprehensive, data-driven plan that creates layers of resiliency across Vermont by building on GMP's successful and proactive undergrounding and storm-hardening of lines, as well as deployment of energy storage through batteries and microgrids. Combined, this work will ...
SRP's District Board of Directors this week (Oct 2) approved power system strategies to be implemented between 2025 and 2035 that prioritize affordability, reliability, sustainability and customer focus.
