Chart: Which US states generate the most solar and wind energy?

How can we figure what to pay our solar and wind energy providers? https://lnkd.in/gcecQPTt In this article, we discuss how these renewable energy options are part of the power supply mix and are compensated for their generation. #utility #solar #windpower #distributedgeneration

Chart: Which US states generate the most solar and wind energy? A new report tracks how renewable energy is transforming the nation’s electricity mix, state by state. https://lnkd.in/g2PtiGEp

After years of visiting Ft. Lauderdale, it’s impressive to see wind turbines installed on the rooftop of the Hilton on the beach. Although #Florida is the 3rd largest energy consuming state in the US (after Texas and California), #renewables currently constitute only 7% of the state’s supply mix. With the Sunshine State’s capacity to harness abundant #solar and #wind energy, is it time for Florida to implement a state-wide renewable portfolio standard and enable power-purchase agreements? These policies could serve to further accelerate investments in solar and wind across Florida - as they’ve done in other parts of the US - particularly for rooftop residential and commercial power generation. #renewableenergy #solarpower #windenergy #energysecurity

The leading wind developer Ørsted, for one, is banking on a NEW HIGH TECH “LIQUID AIR” ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM, and they have reportedly seen GOOD RESULTS from an initial analysis. Lithium-ion battery arrays have been doing much of the heavy lifting for renewable energy storage, but their job is mainly limited to daily cycles lasting a few hours. A cap of about 4-6 hours is the rule of thumb, though systems lasting up to 8 hours are beginning to emerge. Long duration energy storage systems of 10 hours or more — including days, weeks, months, or whole seasons — are needed in order to shunt more wind and solar energy into the grid. https://lnkd.in/dm4tqB_F

𝗨.𝗦. 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰. Why? To bridge the gap between renewable energy's potential and its reliability. Battery storage offers a solution to one of renewable energy's most significant challenges. 👉 Intermittency. Solar and wind power is abundant and sustainable. But is not always available on demand. So store excess energy during peak production times. Then release it when needed. Projections indicate an 89% surge in U.S. battery storage capacity to exceed 30 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2024 Leading this change are California and Texas with the five largest new U.S. battery storage projects scheduled for deployment in 2024 and 2025: - Lunis Creek BESS SLF (Texas, 621 MW) - Clear Fork Creek BESS SLF (Texas, 600 MW) - Hecate Energy Ramsey Storage (Texas, 500 MW) - Bellefield Solar and Energy Storage Farm (California, 500 MW) - Dogwood Creek Solar and BESS (Texas, 443 MW) California currently leads with 7.3 GW followed by Texas with 3.2 GW. Globally, we're seeing a decisive move towards battery plants over gas power plants. They offer a more flexible, efficient, and sustainable solution for managing the intermittency of renewable energy sources. How do you think this will impact the national energy grids? #innovation #technology #energy #sustainability #electricalengineering Source: US Energy Information Administration ASEC ENGINEERS - Engineering your success, delivering precision and innovation in every project since 1991.
