This week, Oregon became the latest state to fund an energy storage demonstration project that will use batteries and PV to power a resilient microgrid.
This webinar, presented by the Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA)’s Energy Storage Technology Advancement Partnership (ESTAP), provides an up-to-date look at the U.S. energy storage industry, including trends in technology, applications, pricing, financing, vendor landscape, markets, and relevant regulatory and legislative issues. Panelists include Ravi Manghani and Brett Simon of GTM Research.
Think power outages are only a problem in the Northeast? Think again.
The Stafford Hill Solar Farm in Rutland, Vermont is part of an effort to improve the resiliency of Vermont communities that were hit hard by Hurricane Irene in 2011. It includes solar panels and battery storage, and is configured as a microgrid. A central component of the microgrid’s design is to supply backup power to…
Back in June, US offshore wind proponents heralded the arrival of DONG Energy to our Atlantic shores.
Do you know how compliance with EPA’s Clean Power Plan (CPP) will affect your region’s voluntary and regulatory renewable energy markets? Do you know how carbon trading under mass-based and rate-based programs can be coordinated with existing REC trading?
In the face of increasingly severe weather and power outages, more and more states are recognizing the importance of resilient power for communities and critical services.
Resilient Power Project Impact Map
This webinar, presented by CESA’s Energy Storage Technology Advancement Partnership (ESTAP), features a discussion on what is required, technically and economically, to retrofit an existing solar PV system with a new “smart” inverter and battery to make it islandable, so that it can continue to serve critical needs behind the meter when the grid is down. Panelists include Ben Schenkman of Sandia National Laboratories, Chris Larsen of Dynapower, and Dan Cohee of Pacific Data Electric.
Power plants, substations, and transmission lines in coastal communities, where approximately one-third of the country’s population resides, are at risk today from flooding caused by major storms.
