The recent decision by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to discontinue the Demand Response Auction Mechanism (DRAM) program after 2024 has raised significant questions about the future of demand response (DR) and distributed energy resources (DERs) in California. Launched in 2015,
The concept of price-based demand response (PBDR) is garnering attention for its potential to revolutionize power system planning and operation. PBDR stands out by modifying electricity usage patterns through time-varying rates, possibly offering flexible power system support that utilities and
Increased participation in demand response (DR) programs by New York State facility managers holds the potential to significantly bolster the electrical grid's resilience and reduce emissions. DR programs enable the management of electricity consumption during peak periods through real-time
The electrochemical reduction of CO2 to multicarbon products, such as ethylene and ethanol, represents a promising approach to sustainable fuel production and carbon emission mitigation. Central to this process are copper (Cu) catalysts, which have shown unique capabilities in facilitating these
The utility industry is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the need to adapt to a rapidly evolving energy landscape. This shift is characterized by increasing data volumes, rising customer expectations, and a global push towards sustainability. At the heart of this transformation is
The global shipping industry is at a critical juncture as it seeks to reduce its carbon footprint and transition to more sustainable energy sources. The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) recently published a report titled "Potential of Synthetic Fuels for Shipping," which explores the
