Intersolar & Energy Storage North America’s Post

"The integration of more diverse generation resources involves changing the processes used to ensure sufficient generation capacity is available to serve demand at all times. Historically, planners have forecast peak loads and maintained nameplate generation capacity equal to that peak load plus a reserve margin to cover outages and forecast uncertainty... [M]ore sophisticated probabilistic analysis that evaluates contributions of all resources during times of greatest system stress is needed to ensure the resource mix can serve total demand in both summer and winter as load grows, demand patterns shift, and the role of #renewable #generation increases." #utilities #solar #storage #wind #renewables #renewableenergy #demandsidemanagement #peakload #grid #electricity #power https://lnkd.in/evHfJFkg

Wind and Solar with battery storage is the cheapest option of energy generation in the Australian market. The new Gencost report by CSIRO...

Good to see the energy transition in full swing with giant supernode battery storage 1560 MWh, one of the largest in Australia. No future for “baseload” power generators in a grid that will be dominated by variable wind and solar.

This article highlights six key applications of REEs, including their use in wind turbines, electric vehicles, solar panels, energy storage systems, hydrogen production, and catalytic converters. #rareearths #applications #solar #windturbines #energy https://lnkd.in/gRmtBmnD

Next time someone complains solar PV doesn't work at night... As of 2023-end, there were 288 co-located PV+battery systems in the U.S. and... more grid-connected battery systems co-located with PV existed in the U.S. than did stand-alone battery systems New Berkeley Lab report on hybrid PV/Wind/Storage plants in the U.S. Summary as of the end of 2023: PV+storage dominates 14.5 GW PV+7.77 GW/24.2 GWh Storage 2.98 GW Wind+528 MW/598 MWh Storage 526 MW Wind+76 MW PV+69 MW/139 MWh Storage 590 MW Wind+268 MW PV

Rusty batteries! Sound very promising to help even out energy delivery from wind and solar. And also a big hat tip to energypost.eu, who have some of the best summary articles on all things energy related https://lnkd.in/ehtRVnw8

The popularity of virtual power plants made up of decentralized renewable assets is rising thanks to advances made in solar and other clean energy sources. Do you think this trend has the potential to become the new status quo? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Grid following inverters, present in the majority of IBRs (Inverter based resource) such as renewable energy generation- including solar PV, wind, and battery energy storage, play a crucial role in system stability. These devices automatically shut down in the event of a significant voltage or frequency disturbance in the grid. The root causes of these disturbances typically involve a resource tripping offline due to grid event such as a tree falls on a powerline, force majeure, etc. The electronic nature of these IBR devices limits their overload capabilities, such as thermal stress, which requires careful consideration in managing grid changes. As the penetration of IBRs increased, new challenges to system stability have risen in recent times, which shows the importance of understanding and addressing these issues to improve reliability. #renewableenergy #solarPV #wind #energystorage #energyreliability

Colocation of wind and solar with battery storage is ideal for the development of renewable energy.

Distributed generation is an indispensable component in our #cleanenergy transition because it provides a more flexible and efficient approach to #solar adoption. Read Dan Smith's entire article on the important of DG solar on Solar Power World. ⤵️
