We love this graphic from PJM Interconnection explaining how an LMP works! "Congestion is when the lowest-priced energy is prevented from flowing freely to a specific area on the grid because heavy electricity use is causing parts of the grid to operate near their limits. True to its name, locational marginal pricing is based on the location in which the power is received or delivered. Locational marginal pricing is analogous to a taxi ride for megawatts of electricity. When traffic is light, you can expect a consistent and predictable taxi fare, which would represent a period with little to no congestion on the grid. Similarly, heavy traffic results in a higher fare, which is similar to a time of congestion on the transmission system" Link: https://lnkd.in/dccBaRZr

Despite the efforts from the UK energy regulator to bridge the gap between the current connections offer process and the implementation of connections with "Transitional Offers". This is a complex process, bureaucratic and without transparency. This type of complexity can only be overcome by decentralized mechanisms associated with automated processes(like Smart Contracts) based on a mathematical proof of transparency for the transactions executed (Consensus algorithms). A decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) is one the mechanisms that are able to deal with this type of distributed decision-making. Continuing to insist on bureaucratique centralized based systems is a complete waste of money and worse, is a waste of good people that could be used elsewhere in the grid.
Electricity Connections: We have laid out our support for a transitional arrangements to the electricity connections process. From 2 September 2024, an indicative connection point and completion date will be provided with no detail regarding transmission works and programme. The transitional arrangements are being proposed to bridge the current connection process to the reformed gated process (subject to code approval). Continuing with the current full offer process would have been an inefficient use of ESO/TO resource and would not provide a good customer experience as such full offers may change substantially if connections reform is approved. This will be in place until end-March 2025, or until the current TMO4+ process is approved or rejected. https://lnkd.in/eZWaKCxQ

There was nil addition of new transmission lines on the interstate transmission system (ISTS) network in November 2024. The entire addition during the month was seen in the intrastate transmission system (InSTS) grid. No new transmission lines were added on the ISTS network in November 2024, according to latest statistics released by Central Electricity Authority. Overall, 355 ckm of new transmission lines were added in November 2024 and the entire quantum was attributed to state government utilities, on the 220kV intrastate network. #ists #tbcb #powertransmission

DOE has launched its process for designating National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors. This is an important milestone in the national dialogue on the need for beefing up the grid. It's no secret that the country needs to deal with significant load growth from data centers and electrification, while at the same time clean energy is a much larger part of the national resource mix. Every state has something at stake in this process, and strategically sited interregional transmission will be key to meeting the public interest at the least cost. https://lnkd.in/gJmGmpEV

As demand for electricity grows and the current grid system ages, the US needs to expand the capacity of its transmission infrastructure to effectively deliver electricity to end users. Recent spending on transmission lines in the United States has focused on lower-voltage local projects, which typically serve a single utility, instead of regional projects, which can meet multiple utilities’ needs at the same time. Relying on local projects and not coordinating with regional planning is more costly and inefficient for addressing overall grid upgrades. There is little oversight for local transmission projects because of a regulatory gap as a result of several factors at the state, regional, and federal levels. Our report lays out 11 recommendations to close the regulatory gap and help build the electricity grid of the future with better bang for the customer’s buck: https://bit.ly/3AYb7Fd #Transmission #Electricity #ElectricityGrid

The #MiddleEast's MV and HV switchgear market is projected to grow robustly from 2023 to 2028, driven by economic growth, infrastructure development, and grid expansion. However, the region faces challenges due to the EU's upcoming phase-out of SF6. This regulatory shift will impact the supply of SF6 and could disrupt the Middle East's switchgear market. Dive into expert insights from PTR's analysts Saifa Khalid, Saad Habib, and Muhammad Usman, in collaboration with Middle East Energy. ⬇️ Download the full white paper now: https://lnkd.in/dPfnd79n #MiddleEastEnergy #MVSwitchgear #HVSwtichgear #PTRInsights
