Our latest podcast episode is full of exciting news in the field of #RenewableEnergy! This week, Nataleah fills in to bring us encouraging updates from the volunteers of NREL. Thanks to our partnership with GRID Alternatives Colorado, our researchers had the opportunity to step out of the labs and into the lives of community members to install free solar energy systems for income-qualified families. But that’s not all! Discover how we’re extending renewable energy solutions to the South Pole. Our recent study with Argonne National Laboratory explores integrating solar modules, wind turbines, and battery storage to power Antarctic research stations, reducing diesel consumption and energy costs. Tune in to explore these discoveries and more in our biweekly podcast, Transforming Energy ➡️ https://bit.ly/3q2M0M5 #NRELPodcast #Science #Sustainability

The U.S. Department of Energy - Grid Modernization Initiative Modernization Initiative unveiled its comprehensive strategy for future-proofing our power grid! 💡 🌐 The GMI’s strategic goals will be supported by the Grid Modernization Lab Consortium (GMLC), which brings together 14 national laboratories (including the National Renewable Energy Laboratory 👊), through collaborative research, development, and demonstration projects. Read the GMI Strategy https://lnkd.in/g3SpwXHv to learn more!
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Grid Modernization Initiative has announced its strategy for investing in innovative new technologies to modernize today’s power grid while ensuring it remains secure and sustainable. Drawing from the Administration’s goals and power system objectives, the GMI’s updated strategy defines six pillars to guide its work: 1) Devices and Integrated Systems; 2) Operations 3) Planning; 4) Markets, Policies, and Regulations; 5) Resilient and Secure Systems; and 6) Flexible Generation and Load. The future modernized grid will need to balance a variety of key priorities that are not all perfectly aligned with each other. This document establishes a clear and actionable grid modernization strategy for DOE and the national labs to align these priorities in a secure and efficient manner.
