NuScale, Shell and partners to assess hydrogen production using SMR

Green Car Congress

Additional research participants include Idaho National Laboratory, Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems (UAMPS), Fuel Cell Energy, FPoliSolutions, and GSE Solutions. NuScale’s flexible SMR technology holds the potential—through hydrogen production—to balance and stabilize power grids dominated by renewable energies.

This Essential Element of the Power Grid Is in Critically Short Supply

Cars That Think

A quarter of the worlds renewable-energy projects may be delayed while awaiting transformers to connect them to local grids, according to the Wood MacKenzie report. And its not just renewable-energy projects. Each is a bespoke creation, says Bjorn Vaagensmith , a power-systems researcher at Idaho National Laboratory.

PNNL study finds that PHEVs and BEVs could serve as feasible resource to offset grid imbalances caused by integration of large amounts of intermittent wind generation

Green Car Congress

V2GFull varies not only the charging of the vehicle battery, but also can vary the discharging of the battery back into the power grid. trafficThis scenario is currently less desirable to automotive manufacturers, but provides an additional resource benefit to PHEV/BEVs by theoretically doubling their capacity value to the grid.
