The future of energy management is evolving. According to Utility Dive's recent article, US electricity load growth is skyrocketing, outpacing previous estimates by a staggering 81%. This surge underscores the critical need for innovative solutions like Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) bidirectional charging technology. With electricity demand on the rise, V2X and V2G technologies offer sustainable and resilient solutions for managing the grid of tomorrow. These innovative systems enable parked electric vehicles to seamlessly integrate with the grid, optimizing energy usage and reducing costs for consumers and utilities alike. The future is electric with V2X and V2G technologies paving the way for a more efficient and sustainable energy landscape. Accelerating the adoption of bidirectional energy technology solutions proves to be pivotal as we strive to achieve a global renewable energy ecosystem within this generation. 🔗 Read more: https://bit.ly/43vn8ff #V2X #V2G #ElectricVehicles #EVs #Sustainability #GridInnovation

As power systems decarbonize, there is a growing need to explicitly procure the services to ensure stable power system operation that conventional generation fleets have in the past provided by default alongside their electricity production. To meet this requirement, countries with high variable renewable generation are increasingly introducing mechanisms to maintain control over power system inertia to keep a steady frequency as the share of conventional generation sources declines. In this respect, some regions have started setting minimum requirements for system inertia, typically provided by conventional generators with spinning rotors that help the power system ride through disturbances such as faults. A number of countries are also introducing markets for services like fast frequency response (FFR) that help stabilize the power system rapidly after disturbances and may help reduce inertia requirements. Such services like the FFR typically function within a time frame of few seconds or less, making batteries an ideal technology choice due to their fast response times.

US VPPs can meet summer demand peaks faster, cheaper than new generation and transmission: RMI .... The more than 500 VPPs operational in the United States can help address summer peaks in 2024, while new VPPs can be online in time for summer 2025, RMI said. Virtual power plants can affordably and reliably help to meet summer electricity demand on a U.S. grid that’s increasingly vulnerable to supply disruptions during extreme heat waves, RMI said in a report released earlier this month. The more than 500 U.S. VPPs in operation today can be dispatched to meet summer grid needs in 2024, and new VPPs can be planned and deployed in as little as six to 12 months, making them available as soon as next summer, RMI said. Regional grids face even greater risks in the near future if utilities’ expectations for near-term demand growth bear out, RMI said. Grid planners expect peak demand growth of 38 GW through 2028, mostly driven by new manufacturing, industrial and data center facilities, Grid Strategies said in December. U.S. utilities can meet resource adequacy needs and avoid $15 billion to $35 billion in conventional investments over 10 years by deploying 60 GW of VPP capacity. TNi Energy-BESS 1.20MW 10HR LDES, we've innovated a groundbreaking method that repurposes recycled lead-acid batteries, extending their life span to 20 years for energy storage purposes. Previously, the industry lacked a safe and environmentally conscious alternative to lithium-ion batteries. However, our proprietary technique reveals that lead-acid batteries are not only safer but also 50-60% more cost-effective than their hazardous counterparts. #TNiEnergy,#10HRLDES,#ELDES,#C1toC20,#nebulositycloud, #BESS,#C3Energy,#Energy, #ZEROemmissions, #ZEROcarbon, #energytransistion, #LeadAcid Battery, #windpower, #solarpower, #VPP, #MicroGrid, #DERM
