Although both can be caused by the same phenomena, transients are more likely the result of nearby lightning strikes and step changes in loading on the grid, while surges are more likely the result of the same phenomena occurring much farther away (the intervening grid equipment and distribution lines softening up the disturbances, so to speak).

If you opt for a 240V connector, the device can act like a grid-tied inverter, sending up to 2.2kW of power back into the house when the power goes out. Inverter: grid-tied, up to 2.2 But not everyone can put a whole home battery into their home, and even if they can, it isn’t cheap. Battery: 3 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate.

It’s about one-twentieth the size of the minibus-scale geostationary satellites already in orbit, allowing for cheap and quick deployment. The transmission line will sidestep the growing difficulties of connecting renewable-energy sources to the power grid. But this satellite is the first of a new breed, dubbed microGEO.

Cheap gas prices and a strong economy are creating increased goods movement and prompting Californians to drive more. In the first quarter of 2017, ZEVs accounted for nearly 5% of the state’s auto sales. Effective grid management to incorporate this level of renewables remains a key challenge for the state.
