State officials have approved requirements for the power grid to consist of 50% renewable energy by 2030. The study will examine the limitations of intermittent renewable options, such as wind and solar energy, which are only available at certain hours of the day.

Because of this, the new power consumers not only present an additional load on the power grid, but can potentially serve as flexible storage devices in the context of the variable availability of solar and wind power. An interface with the grid operator via HEMS is one possible application.

and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) on a new pilot project that will allow communication between electric vehicles (EVs) and the power grid. This project will demonstrate and test an electric vehicle’s ability to receive and respond to charge instructions based on the grid condition and the vehicle’s battery state.

Relying on a higher share of efficient, low-emission combined cycle power plants and wind energy could save €150 billion (US$200 billion) by 2030 while attaining the same CO 2 targets, Siemens says. The country should give greater priority to high-efficiency combined cycle power plants and wind power, the company suggests.

The California Independent System Operator Corporation (ISO), California’s non-profit grid operator, released its new five-year (2012-2016) strategic plan. Between now and 2020, wind and solar generation will quadruple within the ISO transmission grid at the same time electric vehicle charging increases significantly.

Solar accounted for 32% of US new generating capacity in 2014, beating out both wind energy and coal for the second year in a row. GTM Research forecasts the US PV market to grow 31% in 2015. The utility segment is expected to account for 59% of the forecasted 8.1 The additions are dominated by wind (9.8

Grid-connected battery farms back up renewables when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing and are considered important to help integrate clean energy into power grids. This is particularly important for China, which has minimal natural gas capacity, a more flexible power source than slow-ramping coal plants.

Virtual power plants (VPPs) are an innovative solution that utilities are beginning to embrace. VPPs aggregate the generation capacity of distributed energy resources (DERs), including solar panels, wind turbines, and home battery systems. Vehicle-to-home (V2H) charging works like V2G but at a much smaller scale.

Low-income and rural communities suffered the most, with some remaining without power for almost a year. A microgrid is like a miniaturized, tightly controlled version of a power grid. How can a microgrid help after a power outage? It’s a powerful example of how electricity and community resiliency are intertwined.
