"Our modeling shows that there is a viable and cost-efficient path to decarbonise the power sector," said Håkan Agnevall, CEO and President of Wärtsilä: "We have all the technologies we need to accelerate the shift to renewables-led power systems – but going green is not black or white. ...
What would it take to decarbonize the electric grid by 2035? A new report by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) examines the types of clean energy technologies and the scale and pace of deployment needed to achieve 100% clean electricity, or a net-zero power grid, in the United States by 2035. This would be a major stepping stone to economy-wide decarbonization by 2050.The study, ...
To ensure that power systems are flexible, align demand and maximise the value for users and the whole society, current power procurement systems must be reorganised on the basis of the procurement and remuneration of the two main pillars of a renewable-based power system -- variable distributed generation and flexibility, according to a new report from the International Renewable Energy Agency ...
BluWave‐ai has launched the Canadian Smart Grid AI Center of Excellence at the City of Summerside, Prince Edward Island in partnership with Summerside Electric. The Center consists of wind farm, solar array, battery storage, grid connection, smart metering assets, and a cloud-based AI optimization platform with networking to users internationally. The Center will serve as a real-world AI test ...
As states reach higher toward 100% renewable operation, energy storage will be key to enabling a more variable power supply. But no single technology will be a silver bullet for all our energy storage needs. Rather, a portfolio of storage solutions makes best economic sense for future energy systems, according to a recent National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) analysis titled "Optimal energy ...
The report models Germany, India, and California, three markets with vastly different socio-economic dynamics, energy systems, and challenges, demonstrating the cost-optimal path towards 100% renewable power systems in each region. ...
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), and the State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC), this week signed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that will see the two organisations work closely to support grid enhancements, system flexibility and sector-coupling in China and IRENA's Clean Energy Corridor regions. The agreement aims to advance the global energy transformation towards ...
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 ...
Columbia Power Technologies, Inc. (C-Power) and RigNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RNET), a leading provider of ultra-secure telecommunications and intelligent networking solutions, today announced a collaboration in which RigNet will provide a comprehensive set of data and communications solutions for C-Power’s autonomous offshore power systems (AOPS). The solutions will provide upstream and downstream ...
The U.S. Department of Energy this week announced the beginning of design and construction of the Grid Storage Launchpad (GSL), a $75 million facility located at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in Richland, Washington that will boost clean energy adaptation and accelerate the development and deployment of long-duration, low-cost grid energy storage. "The Grid Storage Launchpad ...
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) recently joined a major international project, the Global Power System Transformation Consortium (G-PST), to help remove technical hurdles to renewable energy integration. ...
Switch2 has also been appointed to provide metering and credit billing services to residents and businesses. Greenford Quay straddles the Grand Union Canal and includes 2,000 homes for rent and sale, and 185,000 sq. ft of commercial and community space. The low carbon district heating system includes two CHP engines and four gas boilers and is complemented by a renewable power generation system ...
The technology group Wärtsilä is finalizing a 70MW energy storage and energy management system project in the California Independent System Operator energy market. The energy storage system will be paired with Wärtsilä GEMS platform to maximize system efficiencies and will add renewable power to the grid at times when it otherwise wouldn't be available. The order was booked by ...
Wärtsilä’s Engine+ Hybrid Energy solution integrates standardised energy storage solutions and energy management systems with flexible engine power plants, leading to greater efficiencies, maintenance optimisation, emission reductions and a more streamlined addition of renewables into power systems. The solution serves load instantly, addresses step changes and intermittencies, ...
Countries at the forefront of the energy transformation are getting more than a third of their energy from variable renewables like solar and wind, and they’re doing it in a cost-effective manner. By making use of innovative solutions that allow to integrate a higher share of renewables into power systems, innovation holds the key to a cost-effective global energy transformation. These ...
Flexible energy options, such as energy storage, smart-charging electric vehicles, demand response and interconnectors, are needed to ensure that the energy transition proceeds on an optimal path. Our expensive power system would otherwise be reliant on fossil-fueled backup and installing excess wind and solar capacity.The four types of flexibility mentioned above can accelerate the transition to ...
Consequently, energy storage systems must be introduced to improve the balance and thereby strengthen the grid with stable power supply. ...
Gansu therefore has a relatively inflexible power system, drawing on significant wind and existing thermal capacity. ...
Sun, wind and a big battery: These are the ingredients with which E.ON is bringing the small village of Simris, located in the region of Scania in southern Sweden, onto 100 percent renewable energy. The energy for the approximately 140 households basically comes from wind turbines with installed capacity of 500 kilowatts (kW) and photovoltaic panels with 440 kW, supported by a battery system with ...
“We are witnessing a transformation of global power markets led by renewables and, as is the case with other fields, the center of gravity for renewable growth is moving to emerging markets,” said Dr Fatih Birol, the IEA’s executive director. ...
