2021 was a big year for energy-related news, what with the ongoing hunt for new forms of energy storage and cleaner if not carbon-free electricity and events and research that spotlighted the weak links in our power grid. No battery is perfect, however, so engineers keep pushing for new and improved ways to store those electrons.

Extreme cold can have similarly dire consequences , as we saw during February’s massive power outage in Texas. Public health experts refer to those who are most at risk during power outages as “electricity vulnerable” or “electricity dependent.” In the United States, hundreds of thousands of people are in that category.

PHEVLERs make our electric grid more efficient. [ 15 ] Electric power grids are designed with capacity to serve the highest power peaks demanded (e.g. PHEVLERs help support the electric grid. PHEVLERs are better than BEVs in support of the electric grid.

From the start of her career at General Electric in 1922, she was determined to develop stable, more reliable power grids. And Clarke succeeded, playing a critical role in the rapid expansion of the North American electric grid during the 1920s and ’30s. The electricity it produced was stored in massive GE generators.

It’s very similar to the infrastructure for electric cars because the idea, ultimately, for electric cars is that you also are revamping your grid to facilitate, whatchamacallit, intermittent renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, because having an electric car that runs off a coal-fired power plant is defeating the purpose, essentially.
