DOE seeking public input regarding “energysheds”

Green Car Congress

Given that the term “energyshed” is relatively new, DOE is seeking feedback on its concept and definition, as well as its application to the electric grid. Planning and Operations: Considerations regarding grid planning and potential changes or barriers to power system operations. Energysheds for 20 selected US cities in 2010.

DOE announces $31M in funding to advance H2@Scale

Green Car Congress

The focus of H2@Scale is to enable affordable and reliable large-scale hydrogen generation, transport, storage, and utilization in the United States across multiple sectors. By producing hydrogen when power generation exceeds load, electrolyzers can reduce curtailment of renewables and contribute to grid stability.

Hydrogen Battery "Sponges" Store Solar for the Grid

Cars That Think

Operators can use the systems to store energy from solar panels and deliver power to the grid during cloudy days or at night. The initiative comes as the global electricity sector is clamoring for grid-storage solutions. million metric tons produced in 2019. reduce pressure and add stability to the grid,” Yu said.
