The magnitude of these savings is ~5% to 15% higher in a system with 20% wind penetration compared to a system with no wind power, and the savings are 50–60% higher in a system that requires capacity expansion. —Weis et al.

The energy control stations at BMW Group Plants Dingolfing and Landshut are stepping up their activities in the balancing-power market in Germany. Together with other highly-flexible controllable systems in the BMW Group production network, they will contribute to the stability of the public grid outside of the plant. Source: neon.

Starting in 2013, Audi will begin series production of TCNG models whose engines—derived from TFSI units—will be powered by e-gas: synthetic methane produced via the methanation of hydrogen produced by electrolysis using renewable electricity. Wind turbines are the first significant component of the Audi e-gas project.

That need for balance is true of electric power grids, too. Spiking demand for electric heat collided with supply problems created by frozen natural-gas equipment and below-average wind-power production. Packetized energy management (PEM) allows the power grid to flexibly handle a varying supply of renewable energy.

They certainly don’t understand the interdependencies, which are very similar to the software development processes you were just referring to. Well, speaking of new materials, there’s a new use for aluminum nitride according to our colleague Glenn Zorpette who wrote about the use of the material in power transistors. Cass: Yeah.

As it stands, the power grid is already run-down and outdated , built for the electric loads of a century ago, not for modern life. Shifting to EVs poses a unique problem for the grid: a sudden, massive increase in demand that will be unpredictable and piecemeal. OpenADR can even turn fleet into an asset.

An additional 767 MW of concentrating solar power (CSP) came on-line in the same period. Solar accounted for 32% of US new generating capacity in 2014, beating out both wind energy and coal for the second year in a row. 2014 was the largest year ever for concentrating solar power, with 767 MW brought on-line.
