As we lean into renewable energies to combat environmental issues, maintaining a stable power grid has become a key issue. Renewable sources such as solar and wind are inherently unpredictable, often leading to a supply-demand imbalance that threatens grid stability. To combat this, Demand Response
The blend of technology with critical infrastructure has led to both advancements and heightened risks. The U.S., once at the forefront of tech manufacturing, now often leans on foreign-made components. Notably, Chinese-produced storage batteries, which power the U.S. grid, provide cost benefits
The U.S. Department of Energy has taken a significant stride toward sustainability by implementing new energy efficiency standards for distribution transformers – key components in the electricity grid. This move not only aims to reduce carbon emissions but also to enhance the dependability of the p
Demand Response (DR) stands out as a key tool in bolstering energy grid stability and supporting the shift toward sustainable energy management. As we face the dual challenge of meeting energy needs and reducing environmental impact, DR offers a solution by encouraging adjustments in consumption
As North Texas prepares for the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) is poised to manage a complex balancing act on the state's power grid. With the region expecting a fleeting plunge into darkness, ERCOT's primary challenge is to address
Connecticut's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) has played a pivotal role in the state's march toward a cleaner energy future. Established in 1998 with subsequent amendments intensifying its goals, the RPS mandates that a specific percentage of Connecticut's electricity must be
