The Changing Reality For Electric Utilities The electric utilities are starting to feel mounting pressures due to the decentralized generation movement. As many already know, distributed generation represents perhaps the largest threat to the centralized utility business model. Many industry analysts are starting to view the coming electric utility disruption as inevitable, with PricewaterhouseCoopers recently … Continue reading The Changing Reality For #Electric_Utilities→
California May Allow Distributed Resources into Wholesale Market Traditionally, distributed energy resources (DER) have been too small to bid into energy markets. The California Independent System Operator (CAISO), which oversees the California power market, typically requires projects to be at least 500 kW in order to participate in the market. In order to promote small-scale … Continue reading California May Allow Distributed Resources into Wholesale Market→
Distributed technique for power scheduling advances smart grid concept Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new technique for “scheduling” energy in electric grids that moves away from centralized management by tapping into the distributed computing power of energy devices. The approach advances the smart grid concept by coordinating the energy being produced … Continue reading Distributed technique for power scheduling advances smart grid concept→
California’s Plan to Turn Distributed Energy Resources Into Grid Market Players Grid operator CAISO could let aggregated solar, storage, EVs and DR serve grid markets as soon as next year—with some limits. California is already busy creating new regulations and market structures to integrate rooftop solar, behind-the-meter batteries, plug-in electric vehicles and fast-acting demand response … Continue reading California’s Plan to Turn Distributed Energy Resources Into Grid Market Players→
Under CAISO proposal, distributed resources could bid into CA energy markets next year California is one of a handful of states — New York and Texas make the list as well — working to quickly integrate distributed energy resource providers (DERPs) into energy markets. But the state is further along than its counterparts, and has … Continue reading Under CAISO proposal, distributed resources could bid into CA energy markets next year→
Utilities explore the microgrid value proposition The existing centralized transmission grid, and the utilities that stand behind it, still provide the majority of power supplies to the industrialized world. But renewable, distributed energy resources (DERs) will play an increasing role in the coming years in providing energy supply, reliability, security, and emergency care services. Aggregation … Continue reading #Utilities explore the microgrid value proposition→
