Form Energy’s Post

This is the most interesting study I've done at Form Energy yet! It revealed an unexpected level of complementarity between multi-day storage and the Pacific Northwest's hydropower resources. Multi-day storage isn't just for reliability during infrequent, extreme events (although it sure is great for that!) -- it also can provide huge cost savings by shifting abundant energy to times when it is more valuable. To learn more, check out the blog & full paper below!

Check out Form Energy's latest white paper, which dives deep into the unique grid reliability challenges in the Pacific Northwest and the role that multi-day storage can play in solving them. An insightful piece led by my brilliant colleagues Patricia Levi and Rachel Wilson!

Expanding #PumpedStorage hydropower and embracing thermal #energy storage solutions can help us establish a more #sustainable and reliable grid. Learn more from my colleagues in #StantecERA. #StantecEnergy #EnergyTransition

Nearly every U.S. state uses hydropower, which amounts to about 31% of total U.S. renewable electricity generation and about 6% of total U.S. electricity generation. That’s why it’s important to have resources like the Hydropower RAPID Toolkit. Discover how this U.S. Department of Energy and NREL maintained database is helping the industry get the info they need. https://lnkd.in/gdX7mvDJ

Join us on June 27th from 1 - 2PM CDT for our upcoming webinar on Hydropower, part of our Power Generation webinar series! This session will cover the essentials of hydropower, starting with the ‘What, Why, and Where,’ to provide a foundational understanding of this renewable energy source. We’ll explore the historical origins of using water for power and the general principles that govern this technology. Gain insights into the various classifications of hydropower systems and take a virtual tour of a hydro plant’s anatomy, including civil works and key components like turbines and generators. Learn also about operational and maintenance considerations to ensure you’re aware of the practical aspects of running a hydropower facility. Whether you’re an industry professional or an enthusiast, this webinar will enhance your understanding of the role and complexity of hydropower in our energy landscape. This webinar will be presented by Jean-Francois Corbeil, Principal Consultant, Power Generation.

As the world shifts to low-carbon energy solutions, a reminder: #hydropower is the world’s oldest form and largest source of clean, renewable energy. It’s also an innovative solution. #DidYouKnow that tapping 10% of the energy potential in waves, tides, and currents could match nearly 6% of America’s energy consumption? Or that pumped storage creates critical energy reserves for our electricity grid? We’ve served the hydropower industry for 40+ years. Our experience totals more than 500 projects and 79,000 MW of installed capacity including conventional and #MarineEnergy, #PumpedStorage, and #SmallHydro projects. Knowing all that hydro powers – clean #renewableenergy plus a reliable grid, water security, community amenities, jobs, and more – we proudly celebrate #HydroDay. National Hydropower Association 

I hope everyone had a great #NationalHydropowerDay! Did you know that hydropower was America’s first renewable energy source? Click the link below to learn more about how our Castaic Power Plant plays a role in hydropower: 

As the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic prepare for a major winter storm, it's important to remember that pumped storage hydropower (PSH) has helped Americans weather the worst mother nature has to offer. PSH can help fill reliability gaps in our grids when other renewable energy sources, like #wind and #solar, need a boost. NHA's regulatory and markets expert, Michael Purdie, explains in a new column in T&D World. #pumpedstorage #cleanenergy https://lnkd.in/e7TNJVPs

Really interesting webinar on pumped storage hydro with a more North American focus. I was particularly interested in Malcolm Woolf suggesting that PSH schemes should be viewed as infrastructure projects rather than energy projects and how that may unlock different funding streams. #pumpedforpower
