The major driver for the project is the need to decarbonize the electrical grid, protect it from cybersecurity attacks and make it more resilient. We will be replicating the entire California power grid on one campus. Solar panel output depends on the weather, for example, as do wind turbines.

The energy control stations at BMW Group Plants Dingolfing and Landshut are stepping up their activities in the balancing-power market in Germany. Together with other highly-flexible controllable systems in the BMW Group production network, they will contribute to the stability of the public grid outside of the plant.

Not only do they eliminate tailpipe emissions, but they also boast greater energy efficiency compared to their gasoline counterparts. The upstream, “well to wheel” emissions of the EV are linked to electricity generation and the electrical grid, with lower emissions in regions that use more renewable energy sources.

Using solar energy (or other renewable energy sources ) to split water delivers sustainability , while recent research has made key inroads toward efficiency and scalability. By contrast, the sustainable solar-to-hydrogen approach has concentrated on photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. According to the U.S.
