The reliability need is based on a deficiency in transmission security. Transmission security analysis tests the ability of the power system to withstand disturbances, such as electric short circuits or unanticipated loss of a generator or a transmission line, while continuing to supply and deliver electricity. ...
Together, these eight projects total 418 megawatts, enough renewable energy to power more than 150,000 New York homes and reduce nearly 600,000 tons of carbon emissions annually, equivalent to removing almost 120,000 cars off the road each year. ...
It provides comprehensive grid planning, open and nondiscriminatory access to one of the largest networks of high-voltage transmission power lines in the world, and operates a $9 billion competitive electricity market. Recognizing the importance of the global climate challenge, the ISO is at the forefront of integrating renewable ...
After years of preparation and testing, the flow battery is now in our market," said Peter Klauer, an ISO advisor for power systems development overseeing the battery's entry into ISO markets. ...
When electricity travels long distances, it starts to behave in a similar fashion: the standard frequency of 60 cycles per second increases on the utility side of the transmission line while the frequency on the customer side decreases, switching back and forth every second or two. ...
"This could potentially be a watershed moment for the carbon-free power grid of the future, showing the ability of solar plants to provide grid reliability services. ...
Wind additions have also been driven by improvements in the cost and performance of wind power technologies, yielding low power sales prices for utility, corporate, and other purchasers. ...
Rhodes, a Postdoctoral Researcher of Energy at the University of Texas at Austin, says that the currently depreciated value of the energy grid, which includes power plants, transmission lines, transformers and poles, stands at between $1.5 trillion and $2 trillion. ...
Big utility projects—wind farms, power houses and transmission lines—often spark big public opposition or at a minimum, public concern. ...
The $120 million Marcy South Series Compensation Project, a joint venture with New York State Electric & Gas that was energized in June, enables more electricity from renewable sources to flow from upstate to meet energy demand in more-populated downstate regions without having to build new power lines. The project is expected to provide up to 440 megawatts ...
“We are pleased to utilize its power delivery and power plant services for the Tenaska Westmoreland ...
