In case you missed it: Turning idle power into grid strength Standby energy systems at large facilities like factories, campuses, and data centers don’t have to sit idle. In our most recent est QuickChat, EnergyTech’s Rod Walton sits down with PowerSecure’s Todd Jackson to explore how these backup systems can play a powerful role in grid resiliency You'll learn: ✅ How advanced control systems enable demand-side flexibility ✅ What coordination with utilities really looks like ✅ The regulatory and financial landscape power consumers are navigating ✅ Real-world examples of standby assets supporting grid stability This isn’t just theory, it's actionable insight into how large energy consumers can turn backup infrastructure into a grid-strengthening asset. #EnergyTransition #Microgrids #GridResilience #DemandResponse #PowerSecure

The OpenADR 3.1.0 specification has just been published! it builds on OpenADR 3.0 to provide a simple RESTful interface for utilities to communicate grid conditions to electrical loads. For example, dynamic pricing for cost optimization. See openadr.org. #smart-grid, #energy-transition, #demand-response

This just sounds pretty cool.... Splight, a grid infrastructure technology company, has secured a $12.4 million SAFE funding round led by Blue Bear Capital to accelerate their machine learning solution that can nearly double the capacity on existing power transmission lines through their "dynamic congestion management" system. My new metric (similar to Assets Under Management) that I am surely stealing from someone.... GUM (Gigawatts Under Management). 😀 https://lnkd.in/gq5Y5_Pj

Modern power systems are large networks that link together large generating units, transmission lines, and millions of consumer devices. The goal is simple: delivering electricity continuously, reliably and, hopefully, at the lowest cost possible to every connected customer and load. Achieving such a goal, however, is a highly complex task that considers timescales from as little as a few milliseconds, to decades.

Writing this explainer on #inertia and the role of power electronics was fun and different to our usual writing. If you, however, are after real #engineering entertainment, I have to recommend Section III (Rethinking Inertia Design of #GFM #Converters) from Shan Jiang, Ye Zhu, Tony Xu together with Xiongfei Wang and myself latest article "Frequency Domain Inertia Design of Grid-Forming Converters" https://lnkd.in/guK4Erwm
