Wärtsilä’s global power system modelling, published in the Crossroads to net zero report, compares two pathways from the year 2025 to 2050 with the aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming, as per the Paris Agreement targets. ...
“Electric utility operators are looking for tools that help them understand current system status, to predict what will happen in the future, and then present a recommendation to what kind of actions they need to take to prepare for that future,” said Yousu Chen, a PNNL power-system modeling and simulation expert. ...
Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) and Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO) recently announced the Solar Technologies’ Rapid Integration and Validation for Energy Systems (STRIVES) funding opportunity, which will provide up to $31 million for research, development, and demonstration projects to improve power systems ...
The Beginner’s Guide to Understanding Power System Model Results for Long-Term Resource Plans is designed to improve decision-making in the electricity planning process by strengthening dialogue between system planners and relevant stakeholders. It focuses on interpreting scenario results generated by power ...
The company notes that the successful well test confirms the commercial viability of Fervo's drilling technology and establishes Project Red as the most productive enhanced geothermal system in history. The 30-day well test, a standard for geothermal, achieved a flowrate of 63 liters per second at high temperature that enables 3.5 MW of electric production, setting new records ...
The report concludes that 85-140 TWh of long duration energy storage (>8 hours) can be deployed globally to enable power grids to become carbon net-zero. This will eliminate between 1.5 to 2.3 Gt of CO2 currently produced annually, equivalent to 10-15% of total emissions in today’s power sector, by replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy resources. ...
The LDES report documents how the world’s power systems could become carbon net-zero through the storage of renewable power such as wind and solar. ...
The cyber security risk facing electric utilities is of critical and growing importance. The need to protect substations and distribution and transmission networks from cyber attacks is a top priority, as grid SCADA and PLC grid control networks are inherently a weak link for cyber threats. To help utilities meet this challenge, the 3rd Annual Utility Cyber Security Forum, October 6-7, 2021 in ...
Unlike other forward-looking studies of high-renewable power systems, LA100 uniquely considered reliability as a fundamental requirement for the future grid. ...
Schneider Electric announced this week that it has acquired a controlling stake in ETAP Automation Inc., a leading software platform for electrical power systems modeling and simulation. Used by 10,000+ design and engineering firms globally, ETAP models, simulates, control, and optimizes customer electricity ...
This simulation helps utility companies and other stakeholders plan for increasing adoption of distributed energy resources (DERs) to understand how much electricity will be needed from the rest of the power system. "The dGen model helps users to understand demand for distributed energy resources and, in turn, understand bigger, long-term ...
DER can also include battery storage, wind turbines, combined heat and power plants, and other resource types.Prior to the arrival of DERs, the distribution system was designed for one-way power flow. Electricity moved from power plants, through a transmission network, stepped down to a distribution system and ...
The first will focus on the problem of security constrained optimal power flow (SCOPF). Competitors will develop software to route power in a reliable and cost-effective way to customers across a power grid. Competitors will test their algorithms on complex, realistic power system models, and ...
Sign up to our CSP newsletter For the Gansu model, 20 GW of wind power and 7 GW of PV are installed to represent 104% of maximum load demand. Gansu therefore has a relatively inflexible power system, drawing on significant wind and existing thermal capacity. ...
Open Systems International, Inc. (OSI) has been awarded a contract by the China Electric Power Research Institute (CEPRI) a multi-disciplinary research institute affiliated with the State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC) for a new Enhanced Situational Awareness (ESA) system based on OSI's monarch (Multi-platform Open Network ARCHitecture) real-time automation and visualization platform. This ...
NREL modeled more than 5,600 electricity generators and more than 60,000 transmission lines in a power system that spans from Florida to Maine and portions of Canada and as far west as New Mexico. ...
A Robust Distributed Framework for Flexible Power Grids - NREL will support the University of Minnesota in its efforts to develop a comprehensive approach to the challenges of widespread unpredictable renewable power generation. ...
OpenEI is a free and open knowledge-sharing platform created to facilitate access to energy-related data, models, tools, and information. Two examples of data projects built on OpenEI are the U.S. ...
The Energy Department’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), along with partners from the Electric Power Research Institute and the University of Colorado have completed a comprehensive study to understand how wind power technology can assist the power grid by controlling the active power output being placed onto the system. The rest of the power system’s resources have ...
ClearEdge Power, a manufacturer of scalable, distributed power systems, today announced that Samsung Everland Inc. has purchased a PureCell® Model 400 fuel cell system to be installed at the Busan International Finance Center's Landmark Tower in Busan, Korea. ...
