Spanish energy giant Iberdrola has tested quantum computing for optimizing the placement of large-scale batteries into the grid for cost, voltage control, and reliability. Accurately modeling ...

A grid-scale battery in the Scottish Highlands got a chance to prove its mettle in March when, 11 days after it started up, a massive wood-burning generator in northern England shut down unexpectedly.

Grid operations require a constant balance between demand and supply to maintain stable and desired frequency and voltage levels. Large and continued frequency deviations in the system could damage ...

The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has begun the first tests of a utility-grade battery at the new Grid Storage Launchpad, a major milestone for DOE's investment in ...

Grid defection occurs when it's cheaper for consumers to produce their own power than to buy it from the grid. For example, if a consumer faces high monthly utility fees regardless of their actual ...

An unprecedented number of large-scale infrastructure projects must be developed and delivered in the coming decades to facilitate a large global pipeline of power generation projects, according to a ...
