The new system, which recovers energy from the hot exhaust gas, also reduces costs by around 20%. However, the process consumes vast amounts of electricity, produces lots of carbon dioxide, and can lead to fluctuations in the stability of the power grid. The Tyasa mill is scheduled to be completed by mid-2013. Click to enlarge.

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.

NASA refers to this time period as N+3, representing technology three generations more advanced than what is in service today. Under the new contracts, the teams will now develop concepts and models that can be tested in computer simulations, laboratories and wind tunnels. NASA is awarding $16.5 million, three years.

This is necessary because power generation from renewable energies depends on availability of sun and wind and can therefore only be controlled to a limited extent. For this reason, network operators utilize so-called electricity balancing to ensure that the power grid remains stable, despite increasing integration of renewable energies.
