What is energy storage?

Setec Powerr

Growing demand for renewable energy, an aging electrical grid, costly grid infrastructure improvements, and increasing extreme weather events will require increased energy flexibility to help the grid balance intermittent supply with responsive demand. In addition, these systems offer a wide range of benefits to energy users.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

Opinion: Reinventing fuel-based power for a more secure and resilient grid

Green Car Congress

It is, however, a challenge that is being made all the greater as we continue to decentralize power generation with more distributed, variable and inflexible sources, such as wind and solar. So how is our grid changing, given our drive towards renewable power generation and the decarbonization of our energy systems?
