Microgrids are on the rise. Need resilient, sustainable, and rapidly deployed local power that doesn't require new transmission lines? Here's a great primer by POWER magazine's Darrell Proctor on the technology, players, and state of the market. It also mentions our partnership with Schneider Electric, delivering a new class of hybrid tech microgrids based on #lineargenerators. #cleanpower #energy #microgrids #lowemissions #zerocarbonfuture https://lnkd.in/gf-5_5-u

EV batteries with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capability will have a major role in Virtual Power Plants (VPP). Other VPP components might be distributed rooftop solar, home batteries (e.g. Tesla Powerwall), smart appliances, smart thermostats, anything that can store/supply electricity or reduce load. More VPPs avoid building new centralized power plants, especially “peaker plants” which are typically gas powered. Green Mountain Power in Vermont subsidized home backup systems in exchange for permission to draw from them during peak demand. Xcel Energy in Colorado is planning a VPP program.
"The virtual power plant (#VPP) integrated capacity of vehicle to grid (#V2G) is forecast to surpass that of #EnergyStorage assets ahead of 2040. This is according to US-based consultancy Rethink Energy who in a report hail VPP technology as the core of future power grids. According to the company in Virtual Power Plant (VPP) Forecast to 2040, V2G’s capacity will surpass that of stationary energy storage even when including the minority of stationary batteries that won’t be VPP-aggregated come 2040."

By 2040 more batteries will be on wheels then stationary as VPP V2G sets the world free from autcratic energy dependence. Energy, independence, fueled peace, and prosperity is the future, regardless of who may want it or not.

Transmission System Operators face the escalating challenge of grid congestion, caused by factors, such as increased demand and integration of renewable energy sources.. In this blog, Noémie Verstraete discusses that grid congestions are likely to increase over time and are costly to resolve, either through grid investments or redispatch actions. With its strong expertise in optimization, artificial intelligence, and power systems, N-SIDE can solve grid congestion at scale. The N-SIDE congestion management software maximizes the potential of non-costly actions in the operational planning, immediately reducing OPEX and increasing operational margins in the grid.

The Grid Research Innovation and Development department, with our countless amazing partners in electric engineering and electric operations at Pacific Gas and Electric Company, hit another R&D effort out of the park! What you WON’T read on this article, but lies in the guts of this amazing innovation, is that this microgrid utilizes Frequency-Watt settings so that the microgrid itself can cause behind the meter DERs to respond to frequency droops as a dispatch signal! In this case, where excess solar can cause issues to a microgrid in islanded mode where there isn’t enough storage to absorb, we can initiate a frequency droop on the grid forming storage system and have the BTM curtailed in order to stabalize the island without the need of a centralized control system sending active signals to the BTM assets! Whhhhaaaaaaa?! What an amazing project that continues to push the boundaries of microgrids, smart inverters, and autonomous control systems! The future is here!!!!!! Oh and btw fwiw, the microgrid also utilizes our very own designed and developed mobile enegy storage system, complete with its own switch gear and relays in a complete package. This is next level stuff. Maybe we need to make it more challenging for the team and I need to throw in more complexity to keep them on their toes… #butcanitmakeespresso?

The grid is an area where digital twins not only make a lot of sense, it is non-sensical to consider operating and maintaining the networks of networks we rely on every day without strongly connected systems. "National Grid ESO’s Virtual Energy System programme has the ambition to enable the creation of an ecosystem of connected digital twins of the entire energy system of Great Britain, operating in synchronisation to the physical system." "It is proposed to include representations of electricity and gas assets and link-ups to other sectors to enable secure and resilient sharing of energy data across organisational and sector boundaries and in turn to facilitate complex scenario modelling to deliver optimal whole-system decision making." The inability to look across distribution networks, never mind transmission and distribution and solar and storage and VPPs... is an era that will end soon. #digitaltwin #energy #grid
