That need for balance is true of electric power grids, too. Second, conventional coal and nuclear plants are being retired for economic and policy reasons, removing stable sources from the grid. Packetized energy management (PEM) allows the power grid to flexibly handle a varying supply of renewable energy. Here’s how.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are looking to be a huge part of our future. As the costs of climate change and the price of oil both become too high to bear, auto manufacturers will shift more of their vehicle fleets to electric. EV fleets could play a part in overloading the grid, or could wind up unable to charge.

Now that California has nearly 25 gigawatts (GW) of solar on its grid, needs have shifted, according to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). It is now essential to address grid reliability shortfalls during “net peak” hours in the early evening when the sun is down and the grid has to rely on fossil fuels to meet demand.
