Demand in the Electricity Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) market is higher than ever, but the problems that plagued Texas during record-breaking summer heat last year have so far been abated by the state’s increasingly diverse mix of renewable energy generation and storage. #renewables #power #energy #wind #offshore #onshore #solar #hydropower #floating #nuclear #geothermal #efficiency #transition #susteinability #circular #economy #esg #clean #decarbonization #electrification #climate #hydrogen #mobility #greensteel #ammonia #transportation #storage #fuelcell #smartgrid #der #powersystem #generation #transmission #distribution #electricity #machines #drives #sensors #iot #education #engineering #innovation #entrepreneurship #creativity #technology #digitalization #cybersecurtity #metering

### How a balanced energy system works and why it is crucial for the future Today, we face increasing challenges in the field of energy, which include maintaining a reliable supply, reducing environmental impacts and ensuring economic efficiency. A balanced energy system is key to ensuring these goals. This article focuses on the five fundamental pillars that make it work. #### 1. Diversity of resources An efficient energy system does not rely on only one energy source. The integration of different sources, including fossil fuels, renewables and nuclear energy, ensures flexibility and reduces the risks associated with energy dependence. #### 2. Feedback and regulation The use of modern technologies for monitoring and regulating energy supply in real time allows the system to immediately respond to changes in demand and thus maintain a balance between supply and demand. #### 3. Efficiency and energy saving Increasing energy efficiency and reducing unnecessary consumption are necessary to minimize overall energy demand. This includes the deployment of smart grids and energy-saving devices. #### 4. Sustainability Transitioning to renewable sources and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions are necessary steps to ensure long-term sustainability and protection of our environment. #### 5. Infrastructure Investing in infrastructure that supports the efficient distribution of energy from the point of production to the point of consumption is key. Proper planning and maintenance of networks, pipelines and storage facilities are fundamental to the smooth operation of the entire system. Ensuring a balanced energy system is not only a matter of technology, but also of strategic planning and international cooperation. With growing energy needs and climate goals, our approach to energy is more important than ever. Systems that are able to adapt and respond to these challenges will be key to ensuring a reliable, secure and sustainable energy future. #EnergySecurity #SustainableEnergy #EnergyEfficiency #RenewableResources #IntelligentGrids #Infrastructure #EnergyDiversification #EnergyManagement #ClimateGoals

WHY THE TEXAS POWER GRID IS STILL FACING CHALLENGES https://hubs.la/Q02gMssZ0 #texas #powergrid #power #energyindustry #energy #oilandgasindustry #oilandgas

Why are we still seeing problems with the Texas power grid? The simplest answer is that there's no easy solution. Texas is seen as a proving ground and so far, this doesn't bode well for other states moving forward...especially with significant EV increases in the coming years. This challenge is primed for implementing AI to effectively forecast demand and automatically add supply when the grid is stressed. #EnergyIndustry #Power #OilAndGas

We’re excited to share that Quidnet’s modular geomechanical energy storage technology was highlighted in a recent Science Magazine article. Robert Kunzig writes that “unlike pumped hydro, geomechanical storage doesn’t carry the cost of tunneling, dam building, or getting a FERC license. And the technique exploits existing oil-and-gas technology.” Read the full article below to learn more about how our technology can help build a modern and reliable clean energy grid. https://lnkd.in/e-23E5r3 #EnergyStorage #CleanEnergy #Energy #PumpedStorage

𝙏𝙚𝙭𝙖𝙨 𝘼𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙈𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙊𝙫𝙚𝙧 80% 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙗𝙤𝙣-𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙀𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙐𝙨𝙖𝙜𝙚 On Sunday, Texas set a new record for its state power grid, with over 70% of its energy coming from wind and solar power, and an impressive 83% of electricity being generated from non-carbon-emitting sources when including nuclear power. This landmark achievement signals a positive shift towards combating climate change and highlights the growing impact of renewable energy sources on the state's energy landscape. Industry experts see this as a step towards a future where renewable energy, supported by federal tax incentives, could lead to significantly lower electricity costs for consumers. The challenge remains in integrating renewable power while ensuring reliability, especially during less favorable weather conditions. Solutions such as building more natural gas plants, enhancing grid connectivity, and investing in energy efficiency and storage technologies are being explored to maintain this momentum. This development not only showcases Texas's potential in leading the transition to renewable energy but also sets a positive outlook for the state's economy and environmental sustainability efforts." #RenewableEnergy #TexasPowerGrid #Ercot #Sustainability #ClimateChange https://lnkd.in/gcEUfSWZ

Decentralized energy generation and storage is key to managing grid stability and transmission/distribution costs. As more homes, businesses, and cars electrify, the electrical grid will be an expensive bottleneck to the energy transition. We build solar projects on rooftops, carports, and in the built environment, close to where the energy is used, reducing energy costs and grid load. Our projects are zero cost, and generate electricity at least 20% cheaper than utility rates. Sometimes the savings are much higher. Businesses can even make money by providing unused roof space for solar panels, at no cost to their business. Know any buildings that should have solar but don't?
