Turning High-Rise Buildings Into Batteries With the rapid reduction in the costs of renewable energy generation, such as wind and solar power, there is a growing need for energy storage technologies to make sure that electricity supply and demand are balanced properly. IIASA researchers have come up with a new energy storage concept that could … Continue reading Turning High-Rise Buildings Into Batteries
The case for nuclear energy WASHINGTON (TND) — Nuclear energy has made headlines in recent weeks, especially due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But recently, there have been calls to transition from coal and oil to cleaner energy and some think nuclear power is the answer. The National Desk’s Fact Check Team is looking into … Continue reading The case for nuclear energy
21st century control of utility-scale solar and storage sites The 205-megawatt (MW) Tranquillity solar facility in Fresno County, California has been in operation since 2016. In 2021, the utility-scale site was retrofitted with two battery energy storage systems (BESS) totaling 72 MW / 288 MWh, to help mitigate intermittency issues and improve the site’s overall … Continue reading 21st century control of utility-scale solar and storage sites
Finland Gets Nuclear; Why Don’t We? Even long-time opponents of nuclear power are starting to see the light. Finland’s Green Party, for example, recently voted to support nuclear energy, including a demand to streamline the approval process for small modular reactors. With Russia cutting off natural gas deliveries, the Finns have come to realize that … Continue reading Finland Gets Nuclear; Why Don’t We?
Oregon utility builds nation’s first large-scale wind, solar and battery facility Nestled in the hills of Morrow County, hundreds of solar panels and wind turbines are generating a product that will soon be in high demand around the state — clean electric energy. But storing large amounts of renewable energy has proven challenging. Wind and … Continue reading #Oregon utility builds nation’s first large-scale wind, solar and battery facility
NAESB Role in DERs and DER Aggregation: What Do FERC and the States Think? In May 2022, with some, but relatively little, acknowledgment in the trade press, the North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB), at the behest of the Department of Energy (DOE), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), announced … Continue reading #NAESB Role in DERs and DER Aggregation: What Do FERC and the States Think?
Vanadium set for “disruptive” growth as battery energy storage gains momentum The use of vanadium in the battery energy storage sector is expected to experience disruptive growth this decade on the back of unprecedented vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) deployments. According to an independent analysis by market intelligence and advisory firm, Guidehouse Insights, global annual … Continue reading #Vanadium set for “disruptive” growth as battery energy storage gains momentum
Meet the group lobbying against climate regulations — using your utility bill The federal government is considering a rule change that would make it harder for utility companies to recover trade association dues. A typical electricity bill leaves the customer with the sense that she knows exactly what she’s paying for. It might show how … Continue reading Meet the group lobbying against climate regulations — using your utility bill
NERC assessment highlights potential electricity reliability concern for central U.S. Higher electricity demand forecasts and potential supply reductions are raising concerns about tight reserve margins in the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) balancing authority this summer. Working in conjunction with regional utility service providers, balancing authorities are responsible for ensuring that wholesale electric power markets … Continue reading NERC assessment highlights potential electricity reliability concern for central U.S.
