The future of energy supply: Flexibility and innovation are the key! Renewable energies are the future, but their volatility poses major challenges for the electricity grid due to their dependency on various factors such as weather. Additionally, the grid cannot absorb as much energy as produced. Smart grids and demand response systems adapt energy consumption to production, increasing grid flexibility and stability as well as compensating the volatility of renewable energies. These innovative solutions include battery storage systems to manage surplus energy, Power-to-X technologies for converting excess renewable energy into hydrogen or synthetic fuels that can be used later, and a strategic combination of renewable energy sources to reduce volatility and ensure consistent energy generation. RIVEON offers solutions to create more resilient and sustainable power grids. Our goal is to provide flexibility to the grid infrastructure to absorb more renewable energy. Curious? Follow our channel for the latest news and insights. Read more about the increasing importance of flexibility in energy supply and approaches to overcoming the challenges in energy management in the following article. https://lnkd.in/ejahhn4F #RenewableEnergy #SmartGrid #Sustainability #RiveonAG

Imagine a battery that uses ice to store energy! At Nostromo, this is our groundbreaking reality. As the race heats up to find sustainable ways to keep cool, solutions like the IceBrick® energy storage system become increasingly important. Nostromo’s IceBrick technology is transforming energy storage for commercial and industrial buildings. Yoram Ashery, Nostromo’s CEO, explains: “Because air conditioning is roughly half of the electricity consumption of a building, we can provide that half from stored energy. And that’s overall a huge relief on the grid.” https://lnkd.in/gEgr8vez #CoolingGlobalWarming #EnergyStorage #TES #renewables #decarbonization

What will drive future distribution transformer demand? Aging infrastructure, building and transportation electrification load growth, resilience investments, and increasing extreme weather events, just among some of the key drivers. We, at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, are working hard to quantify how much demand will grow. Much behind-the-scenes ongoing analysis to come from Sherin Ann Abraham and Wenbo Wang of the Distribution Edge Group. https://lnkd.in/gWybZabz

In a groundbreaking analysis by the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL), a significant challenge has emerged for U.S. utilities: a severe shortage and price surge in the transformer market, essential components of our energy infrastructure. The study "Major Drivers of Long-Term Distribution Transformer Demand" reveals that lead times for transformers have quadrupled in the last three years, with some orders taking up to two years to fulfill, alongside price increases of four to nine times. This situation poses a substantial threat to the reliability, affordability, and accessibility of energy, especially as the demand for transformers escalates with the clean energy buildout, increased electrification, and the need for modernizing aging infrastructure. NREL's research highlights the urgent need for a substantial increase in transformer stock capacity—by 160% to 260% by 2050—to meet growing energy demands. The shift towards more resilient transformer types and the integration of renewable energy sources further pressure manufacturing capacities. Recognizing the critical nature of this issue, trade groups have advocated for $1.2 billion in federal funding to boost domestic production, underlining the importance of grid reliability and self-reliance. This analysis serves as a crucial step towards developing impactful solutions, ensuring the U.S. can meet its future energy needs while maintaining a stable and reliable power grid. #seetheopportunityineverydifficulty #EnergySector #Utilities #TransformerShortage #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #NRELLab #USPolicy #GridReliability https://lnkd.in/exEm8R4P

Power Transformer Market Size Expected to Exceed USD 51.61 Bn by 2034 The global power transformer market size was valued at USD 24.22 billion in 2023 and accounted for USD 25.94 billion in 2024. The market is expected to grow at a solid CAGR of 7.12% from 2024 to 2034. Rising levels of industrialization and urbanization in emerging nations are driving up energy consumption, which calls for the development of #powerinfrastructure and raises the need for the #powertransformermarket. Urbanization, industrialization, and the expansion of infrastructure have all contributed to the steady growth of the power transformer market globally. The development of #renewableenergy sources and the requirement to modernize old power infrastructure both have an impact on growth. A notable trend is the adoption of #smarttransformers, which provide improved communication, diagnostic, and monitoring features. Utilities benefit from these transformers by increasing dependability, efficiency, and the successful integration of renewable energy sources. Due to government incentives for infrastructural development, fast industrialization, and urbanization, Asia Pacific now leads the industry. Driven by attempts at grid modernization and integration of renewable energy, North America and Europe also make major contributions. #precedenedresearch 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 👉 https://lnkd.in/dvcPTB9R

Thermal batteries are being looked at as being able to store excess renewable electricity. This has always been a problem what to do with excess electricity from renewables. In some areas it drives the price of electricity to 0. Part of this energy transition is to come up with new ways of thinking and then applying them.

The more you look, the more you see about the reemergence of thermal energy solutions in the industrial markets as part of the energy transition. Newer technologies to effectively store heat (or cold) for later usage, or to turn surplus heat into clean renewable power are gaining traction. Industrials, with time-of-day power rates, renewable electric systems, or intermittent heat loads / excess heat can make economic investments in thermal storage / generation systems with paybacks less than 5 years. Additionally, the systems can mimic battery storage as a redundancy and resilience measure in commercial buildings, data centers, light manufacturers, and industrials.
