Whenever new technologies are introduced into the power grid, there’s always a chance they could disrupt the system, possibly even leading to blackouts. Finding ways to deal with the impact on the grid caused by incorporating renewable energy has been the focus of Vijay Vittal ’s research for nearly 20 years.

His discovery paved the way for more efficient transistors critical in technologies that ushered in the Information Age. Despite Tanenbaum’s early work on silicon transistors, AT&T did not support further research or advancement of the technology. Tanenbaum instead worked on other new technologies in the decades that followed.

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.

To reach the 80x30 goal, the US power grid would need to add between 60 and 80 GW of new clean power every year (double the record 35 GW of renewables added in 2020). Clean energy projects, such as wind and solar farms, would see a windfall. So it's unclear just how much solar, wind, and batteries would grow.
