With storage and solar, they become powerful grid assets, delivering affordable, reliable power exactly when and where it's needed for communities and across the grid." Sunrun will use an advanced application of Tesla's grid services platform to optimize Powerwall batteries to provide an exact amount of power at specific times to different ...
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 ...
Part of DOE's Building a Better Grid Initiative and authorized by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the GRIP Program funding represents the federal government's single largest direct investment into critical grid infrastructure - part of the Biden-Harris Administration's historic actions to get grid updates funded, permitting, and deployed ...
By Caitlin McDermott-Murphy, NRELThe grid needs to change.To electrify everything from vehicles to heating systems to stovetops, the U.S. grid must expand by about 57% and get more flexible, too. ...
The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Section 6 (Electric Power/Energy Systems) and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) have published a report, Evolving Planning Criteria for a Sustainable Power Grid (also available on NERC's website), on electric reliability criteria for grid planning. ...
Energy Central is proud to present this illuminating interview with Dr. Leonid Lev, a pioneering figure in the utility sector and a selection from Energy Central’s Champions of Innovation for 2024. Dr. Lev, Israel Electric Corporation’s CTO of Cyber Entrepreneur and Business Development, brings with him a career that began in the development of SCADA systems and has since expanded to ...
Tim Holt, Member of the Executive Board for Siemens Energy, said, “The U.S. energy transition is in full swing, with $3.9 billion pledged to expand and update the U.S. grid within the next two years. However renewable projects and grid expansion can only happen with the availability of transformers. ...
RM customer Welbers in Wemb, North Rhine-Westphalia, crushes up to 110 tonnes of gravel per hour with their RM 100GO! hybrid, fully electric, connected to the grid. The results speak for themselves because fully electric drive reduces energy costs by around 50%, the total operating costs by 11% per year, and it also protects the environment. The family-owned business also benefits from maximum ...
As inverter-based resources, including modern wind turbines, solar photovoltaic and battery energy storage systems, continue to drive grid transformation, they may also introduce potential risks to the system, as documented by NERC in multiple disturbance reports. ...
Greener resources like solar panels and electric vehicle chargers are spreading through the electric grid, increasing the presence of electronics called inverters, which alter the flow of electrical current to match the larger transmission system. ...
Five significant evolving and interdependent risks -- energy policy, grid transformation, resilience to extreme events, security risks and critical infrastructure interdependencies -- are identified in the 2023 ERO Reliability Risk Priorities Report. ...
The 3-MW/12-MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project to be implemented in Troy, Vermont, within the Sheffield-Highgate Export Interface, will help further the integration of local renewable generation into the New England grid. When generation is high, the EVLO BESS will store energy for later use during peak demand periods, thus helping to smooth out the intermittency of ...
When severe storms hit, customers in GMP’s home energy programs experience a seamless switch to the battery power that keeps them comfortable at home while repairs are made to the grid. GMP customer Candace Nattie saw that firsthand when her neighbor in Norwich had power during a December Nor’easter, while she was in the dark. ...
Acting Chair Phillips declared that reliability was job number one and shared his three key areas of focus: cyber and physical security; extreme weather; and grid resiliency during this period of rapidly changing resources. In particular, he noted the proliferation of inverter-based resources and the importance of reliably integrating these new energy resources. ...
“Vehicle-to-Grid technology can help transform our energy system and provide tangible, positive benefits to our customers in Southern California.” said SDG&E CEO Caroline Winn. “EVs can help us improve community and grid resiliency in the face of climate change as we work with the state and partners to meet our shared climate goals.” Under ...
National Grid Partners (NGP), the corporate venture and innovation arm of one of the world’s largest utility companies, this week announced investments of $20M across three startups to transform the way utilities and other enterprises manage vast physical infrastructure. ...
Georgia Power this week filed a request with the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) that would enable the company to continue making investments in strengthening and further securing the electric grid, transforming its power generation to include cleaner and more economical energy resources and continue improving the customer experience. ...
New York's largest energy-delivery company has launched the Con Edison Clean Energy Update, providing information on installations of solar panels, battery storage, electric vehicle chargers and other technologies as they help transform the power grid in the nation's largest city. Updated quarterly, the progress report is designed to make it easier to track ...
Nuvve's cloud-based software platform, GIVe™ (Grid Integrated Vehicle), is designed to enable EVs to perform intelligent, bidirectional vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging, transforming EVs into reliable DERs that can provide grid services, vehicle-level service, and grid-connected building load management. ...
