5 Fixes
for The Renewable GridThe US electricity transmission system is often called the world’s largest machine, with around 650,000 miles of high voltage lines and millions more in local distribution. The grid is front and center in the transition to a fully sustainable economy, facing challenges of extreme weather, new power technologies, and huge demand increases. Here are five new ideas for keeping the (zero carbon) lights on.
The Future of the Grid Could Be Parked in Your Driveway
A growing fleet of electric vehicles could unlock a cheaper, cleaner alternative to fossil-fuel power plants—without building new infrastructure.
America’s wind turbines are aging. Therein lies a massive opportunity to decarbonize the grid.
Upgrading existing wind farms is a climate win hiding in plain sight, according to a new nationwide analysis
Researchers took the key weakness of renewable energy and made it a superpower
When they analyzed renewable energy supply and power demand at an ultra fine scale, the team discovered tremendous new opportunities for a low-cost, reliable green grid.
This elegant solution to expanding the grid costs half as much as building new power lines
Reconductoring has been mostly overlooked in the United States—until now. A new study finds the potential for billions of dollars in savings
The future holds many, many more EV batteries. And therein lies a solution to grid storage.
A new study suggests vehicle-to-grid technology and reused old EV batteries could meet all of the EU’s need for battery storage—and then some.
