A new modeling study from UT Austin estimates that the optimal use of customer-sited solar and batteries could cut utility costs by 40% (!!) by managing demand peaks and reducing stress on the grid. Call them "non-wires alternatives," call them "virtual power plants," whatever - it's a much-needed solution to fast-rising electricity rates that we can and should harness ASAP. https://lnkd.in/dinpxAVT

https://lnkd.in/e7qzhPge Principle is right. Ratio is wrong.... The higher the ratio of Solar : DC capacity (the more solar you have, relative to the size of the Edge instance) - the greater your competitive price advantage..... This is pretty much the only thing any data centre operator now needs to worry about. How much solar can you access behind the meter? How much storage can you land? Can you trade out the delta?

#tenewableEnergy #SolarPowerPlant #Engineering #Electrical #Investor #Energy #SolarPanels #SafeInvestment #WindPowerPlant The big influx of battery storage on the California grid in the past two years is starting to have a lasting impact on one of the world’s biggest state grids, reshaping the demand curve, sucking in the tummy of the huge solar duck, and reducing the impact and dominance of fossil gas. What has been happening over the past few months in California – with battery storage pushing out gas as the major provider of power into the evening peaks, and soaking up rooftop solar in the middle of the day – is seen as a postcard for the future for many grids around the world.. It is of particular interest to Australia, which has also been investing heavily in battery storage – and leading the world in terms of battery size and applications – and which is also rich in solar resources and solar installations.

California batteries discharge >5,000 MW at peak times in April! This revealing graph and story, prepared by the stellar team at Grid Status, shows how battery operations have greatly expanded throughout the day in California ISO. In April, batteries discharged over 5,000 megawatts (MW) at peak times – a 100% increase over the average in 2023. In fact, according to Grid Status’s Record Tracker App, a new record for battery discharge was set last night (May 7) at 9:30 PM at 7,196 MW, and just six days ago, on May 2 at 2:20 PM, solar accounted for a record 18,538 MW. I look forward to seeing how these parameters, and the grid overall, performs during this summer’s peak periods in July and August. #poweringgood #hitachienergy #powergrid #energystorage #BESS #solarpower #gridedgesolutions #gridstatus #CAISO #energymarketintel https://lnkd.in/dnGXQQkQ
