Savings due to flexible demand could approach $3 billion per year by 2040.
Researchers recommended that transmission system operators consider adopting grid-forming battery energy storage systems system-wide to improve grid stability and to maximize system hosting capacity for solar and wind generation.
“Consider us the canary in the coal mine,” says a statement from Zero Emissions Northwest.
Transmission planning by the federally owned utility TVA can bring more low-cost solar and wind power to customers, and Congress can guide the utility in that direction, says a report from two renewables trade groups.
To help save lives when a hurricane strikes, churches in Louisiana are installing solar-plus-storage so they may provide essential services during a power outage.
More solar power would be used to charge electric vehicles if inexpensive level-1 chargers were deployed at workplaces, and rate design favored daytime charging, a study says.
Utility AES Indiana and software provider Camus said in a study that the utility can best reduce costs by preparing now to launch managed EV charging by early 2029, when it projects 5% of its customers will have installed EV chargers.
The roadmap presents 39 ways to improve interconnection of distributed energy resources. DOE plans to offer funding support to collaborative teams working to implement the solutions.
Network upgrade costs for generating projects recently withdrawn from interconnection queues averaged 70% of total interconnection costs, Berkeley Lab researchers found. They proposed solutions for interconnection issues in a paper published in Joule.
Berkeley Lab’s CalFlexHub says global adoption of an improved communications method can foster a transition from event-based demand response to continuous price-based demand flexibility—increasing demand for renewable power at sunny and windy times.
