https://lnkd.in/dcJxC3Vf We are excited to share with you our recently published article "Decentralized utilization of distributed energy storage resources for simultaneous frequency regulation in a microgrid" in the Journal of Energy Storage with the cooperation of Dr. Mariem Zaki, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ahmed, Assoc. Prof Said Elmasry, and Prof. Abdel Ghany M. Abdel Ghany. The article focuses on two aspects, the first is utilizing distributed energy storage resources whether intrinsic such as in wind generation blades, or artificial such as the integration of supercapacitors. The second aspect focuses on developing formulas to govern the energy share among different resources. The developed formulas and methodology are evaluated with different system configurations and numerous disturbances. The article's outcomes are promising for renewable energy applications.

If you're looking for regulatory options how to deal with insufficient ⚡ power grid capacity for energy transition - look no further. My colleague Zsuzsanna Pató at Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) has got you covered. With a list of measures and real life examples from around the globe. ⬇

Grids are essential for decarbonizing the power sector and the overall economy. New analysis by Zsuzsanna Pató highlights options for easing grid congestion, integrating renewables and unlocking flexibility. Check out the interactive table showing policy options, case studies and the implementation time horizon.

Grid scarcity has been a barrier of renewable integration in many parts of the world including China. The distributed energy resources can provide values to reduce congestions if they are given the right incentives and are well managed. Building new grid capacity is an option but the best choice is to optimize the utilization of existing capacity. Good article from my colleagues in Europe.

The removal of First Come First Served … … and bad luck if you arrive “late” … is very interesting intellectual and operational challenge … How much capacity can you claw back from earlier connections to facilitate new connections? What timelines are reasonable to manage the capacity variance? It’s something that does fit in with DOE - Dynamic Operating Envelopes - to ensure maximum productivity but when, and how often, can they be varied to diminish available capacity?

The power grid is the new frontier of the energy transition. We see clogged connection queues, rising congestion management costs and the increasing curtailment of renewable energy generation. In a new policy toolbox for Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) website, I have collected regulatory options to: ➡ better use ➡ allocate existing, and ➡ build additional grid capacity. I’ve done this with examples of jurisdictions around the globe. All gathered together in an interactive table. https://bit.ly/4dAUNJ0

⚡Out today!⚡ A new policy toolbox that tackles power grid scarcity. A functioning power grid is crucial to the energy transition, but congestion remains an issue. This new toolbox and interactive table takes a global view at what can be done. From Zsuzsanna Pató.

☀️ Good News in Energy ☀️ Hawaii has achieved a significant milestone by replacing its final coal plant with one of the world's largest batteries, marking a decisive shift towards #renewable energy on its grid. Described as "the most advanced battery #energy storage facility on the planet” the breakthrough enables Hawaii to efficiently store, distribute, and optimize its existing #solar energy capacity, as well as accommodate future #RenewableEnergy installations. https://ow.ly/LAtq50QJzwv Grist

On the #GoGreenergy that Hydrogen storage to be the key considering to "the first step is to electrify all energy sectors as much as possible … the efficiency of electricity over combustion reduces energy demand by 38%," Jacobson told pv magazine USA. "The results provide countries with concrete evidence and the confidence that 100% clean, renewable grids not only lower costs but are also just as reliable as the current grid system." Hydrogen storage — an important aspect of the study, which Jacobson wrote could significantly reduce energy costs in some regions — could be an important part of long-term energy storage solutions in the future. While battery storage remains more viable and cost-effective for short-term energy #storage, #hydrogen could be used to store solar and wind energy for weeks or months, essentially converting it into physical fuel. https://lnkd.in/gQ-9Zmzd G7renewables World Cleantech Forum #Cleantech #G7renewables #GreenHydrogen #CleantechForEnergy
