Ambri, Inc. announced the publication of the Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) Council report, which details how long-duration energy storage technologies will support net-zero goals around the world. Ambri is a contributing author of the report and a founding member of the Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) Council. The report concludes that 85-140 TWh of long duration energy storage (>8 ...
Form Energy announces the publication of the Long Duration Energy Storage report to which it is a leading contributing author and a founder member of the LDES Council that has produced the report. 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. Form Energy helped form and is a founder ...
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 ...
Meeting Los Angeles' ambitious goal of reliable, 100% renewable electricity by 2045 or even 2035 is achievable with rapid deployment of wind, solar, storage, and other renewable energy technologies this decade, according to a years-long analysis by the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The combined effects of energy efficiency, electrification, and demand ...
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 power systems based on their digital twin equivalents. Subject to normal regulatory and ...
After years of development, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has released the open-source dGen model, marking a new era since the model launched in 2016. Public users can access model methodology and instructions, run the code, and receive technical support from the dGen team. dGen simulates customer decisions about adopting and using solar, wind, and storage technologies for ...
PJM Interconnection has joined forces with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory to support the integration of distributed energy resources such as residential and commercial solar into the power grid serving 13 states and the District of Columbia.Under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement, Argonne is supporting PJM’s Distributed Energy Resource Ride-Through Task ...
U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry this week announced the launch of the Department of Energy's first-ever Grid Optimization (GO) Competition. The GO Competition, created by the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), is a series of challenges to develop software management solutions for a reliable, resilient and secure American electricity grid. Today marks the beginning of GO ...
CSP could be economically viable without subsidies in markets with over 50% variable renewable energy penetration and wind curtailment needs could create the greatest opportunities, a study by Chinese and U.S. researchers has found. CSP developers predict rising wind and solar capacity will open up new opportunities to provide flexible power generation and overnight supply. Wind and solar ...
