“Innovative regulatory frameworks may be needed to enable targeted electrification at a scale meaningful enough to impact gas network planning.”

“With the energy transition and accompanying rise of distributed energy resources like solar, wind, and renewables, the grid and the data architecture behind it is becoming more and more distributed. But distributed data is a difficult problem to solve.”

Conversation with EPRI’s SVP for Energy Delivery and Customer Solutions regarding a new EPRI report, “The Impact of Industrial Onshoring on Electric Sector Demand Growth.”

A roundtable with Holy Cross Energy’s Bryan Hannegan, SECO Energy’s Gregg Morrell, Rio Grande Electric Cooperative’s Abraham Vasquez, Block Island Utility District’s Jeffery Wright, and NRECA’s Angela Strickland.

“Operating in an underground environment is different. The equipment must be rated differently, must be able to function in fully submerged environments, and be reliable to do that, so this equipment was built with that idea in mind.”

“We have several of our distribution feeders that are a hundred percent connected solar on the distribution feeder. Today, we don’t have any way of energy management on the distribution feeder, so the battery storage will enable us to do energy management on those distribution feeders.”

“The goal of this testing is to enable newer projects by looking at signals and controlling devices such as relays for when we want to interconnect DERs onto our grid and see how they would impact our systems.”

“The most rewarding part has been the partnerships and leadership role PSE has taken. We wanted this Clean Buildings Law to be successful – so many of us in Energy Efficiency are here because we are trying to help save the planet – and reducing GHGs in buildings is one of the reasons.”

“We started with idle mitigation systems because EV options are limited on medium and heavy truck chassis. With the aggressive goals we have by 2025 and 2030, we had to find another way to achieve those targets and the idle mitigation systems count toward the goals.”

“The two pieces are for wind generation for drivetrains and solar module performance. The system of analytics we have created is a dashboard screen for an entire site. We could expand that to an entire fleet. By pre-alarming on a wind turbine, the display will indicate an anomaly through statistical analytics. Allowing for inspection and repair prior to the unit coming offline for a fault.”
