Grids & Integration

Also on the rise: Fluke unveils the Solar Multifunction Tester 1000 at RE+ in Anaheim. Solar tariffs caused a year of uncertainty–could a U.S. solar supply chain help? And more.

As key industry players flag the need for power system engineers to process solar interconnection requests, we reached out to Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and grid operators CAISO and SPP, for their insights on the supply and demand for these engineers.

Also on the rise: National initiative needed to transition to high-DER grid. RE+ announces three new co-located clean energy events. And more.

The Center for Transportation and the Environment, the Center for Hydrogen Safety, and Idaho National Laboratory will be hosting events at RE+ 2022 in Anaheim California.

To reach the full potential benefits of distributed energy resources (DERs), a national initiative is needed to transition efficiently to a high-DER electricity system, says a task force of grid experts convened by the nonprofit group ESIG.

One of the features on the show floor at RE+ will be a live demonstration of an operational hybrid, bi-directional microgrid.

Also on the rise: Nano-grid home runs solely on DC power. Engineering study begins for 500 MW compressed air energy storage project. And more.

Hydrostor announced it has selected an engineering firm to provide front-end studies for a 500 MW compressed air energy storage project in California.

Where do you find yourself in the pursuit and support of a wind and solar power grid?

A team of researchers at Purdue University are retrofitting a 1920s home to run completely on DC current.
