Battery Energy Storage System #BESS Multiday or Long Duration Energy Storage #LDES systems are critical and must have for realising dream of 100% renewable energy. It can help mitigate the variability and efficient utilisation of clean energy generation from variable RES like PV-Solar and Wind👍 #renewableenergy #energystoragesystem #batteryenergystoragesystem #energymanagementsystem #batterymanagementsystem

Energy storage with more than four hours of duration could assume a key role in integrating renewable energy into the US power grid on the back of a potential shift to net winter demand peaks, says the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). #renewableenergy #solarenergy #sustainability

Virtual power plants (VPPs) are networks of distributed energy resources (DERs) aggregated to stabilise the grid and manage energy demand more efficiently. With the increasing shift towards renewable energy and the need for more flexible and resilient power systems, VPPs play a crucial role in integrating various energy sources and enhancing grid operations. Read on to learn more about virtual power plants. #VPP #EnergyManagement #EnergyEfficiency #Microgrid

A pilot project aims to FREE UP ADDITIONAL CAPACITY on its TRANSMISSION LINES for RENEWABLE ENERGY in New York state. The project will DEPLOY ADVANCED MONITORING for overhead transmission lines in the Hornell, N.Y. area. The goal is reducing grid congestion by providing real-time data on where additional power can safely flow through the existing transmission infrastructure. This data and visibility could aid in linking more renewable energy resources into New York’s electrical grid and supporting the state’s clean energy goals. https://lnkd.in/d4fk2wJP

Batteries can change the energy grid game! Not those AA ones (how many of those have you thrown out this year?), but battery storage technology, helping utilities avoid blackouts during extreme weather, and providing renewable energy. There are both standalone battery projects and renewable ones that use batteries to contribute to grid reliability and resilience, but they need more critical exploration (i.e. accurate capacity accreditation) and uptake than they currently have in the U.S.. Batteries can: - Store excess clean power - Meet peak demand to replace inefficient gas plants - Increase a renewable project's value - Delay the need for costly grid transmission expansions. And more, which you can find out here:

The U.S. is at an inflection point concerning the growing demand for energy and the increasing stress on America's transmission infrastructure. As technology costs decrease and deployment of renewables increases, energy storage will be an important aspect of the power grid in the coming years. In this article for North American Clean Energy, Scott Childers discusses the need for domestic supply chain and manufacturing of the battery energy storage systems #BESS necessary for the transition to clean energy. #EnergyToChallenge #FutureOfEnergyStorage #EssentialPower #LongDurationEnergyStorage #LDES https://lnkd.in/gNUWDjvD

Another reason why #DERs aren't being installed as quickly as they should: a shortage of distribution transformers, as NREL's Sherin Ann Abraham describes in this interesting article about her work. "Although the shortage of distribution transformers is just one aspect of the entire distribution system, it impacts everything. The shortage can cause delays in the deployment of renewable energy, development of new housing communities, and electrification, as well as grid modernization and grid restoration under extreme weather impacts,” Abraham writes. #solar #batteries https://lnkd.in/egDgygx3

US energy storage deployments have impressively grown by 84% in the first quarter compared to last year, with three states predominantly contributing to this increase … This highlights the strides we're making in renewable energy. #RenewableEnergyGrowth #SustainableFuture #EnergyStorage

Hybrid power plants, with electricity generation from two or more technologies, are helping decarbonize the power sector. Many of today's hybrid facilities utilize renewable energy along with energy storage. Virtual power plants are also on the rise, providing electricity without the need for infrastructure upgrades.

Recently #LDESCouncilMember Form Energy released a white paper examining if New England benefit from multi-day energy storage. #LDES Using Formware, Form Energy’s grid modeling tool, the team found that adding 23 gigawatts of multi-day energy storage in New England by 2050 could help: ➡️ Reduce costs of grid decarbonization by up to 33% ➡️ Curb curtailment of renewable energy resources by 83% ➡️ Avoid impacts to more than 300,000 acres of land More details here: https://lnkd.in/gJG8JSDa
