DOE to award up to $180M for offshore wind demo projects; targeting lowering levelized cost of energy (LCOE) below 10¢/kWh

Green Car Congress

DOE is focusing this latest research and demonstration initiative on innovative technologies that will achieve large cost reductions over existing offshore wind technologies. LCOE is the sum of all annual costs divided by the amount of electricity produced per year.). waters in the most rapid and responsible manner possible; and.

How to Prevent Blackouts by Packetizing the Power Grid

Cars That Think

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.
