NEx from Third Equation: Optimising Low-Voltage Grids for Two-Way Power Flows

#Microgrids and #distributedenergyresources can reduce the need for transmission lines and transmission-scale generation, which lowers costs. A new coalition wants to deploy more of them to address cost increases driven by increasing loads from #datacenters, #AI and #electrification.

“There are technologies out there that could benefit consumers right now, but consumers don’t know about them and don’t have access to them.” Katherine Hamilton, Acting Executive Director at Common Charge, featured in a recent Microgrid Knowledge article. At Common Charge, we’re on a mission to make #energy more affordable and accessible: more #distributedassets mean more savings for more people. Thank you to Lisa Cohn for the wonderful story — check out the full article here: https://lnkd.in/egYMKff2

What if you could power your entire home without relying on the electricity grid? That’s exactly what off-grid solar does, with panels, batteries, and backup systems working together to keep you powered 24/7, even in the most remote places, energy freedom, lower bills, and a cleaner future, all powered by the sun.

The grid used to be a one-way street. Now it’s a rush-hour roundabout. ⚡️ Energy transition brings renewables like wind or solar into the grid. In contrary to fossils, we cannot decide how much wind or sun we get, nor at which time. In addition, decentralization includes rooftop PV, electric vehicles, and batteries at the edge, thus affecting energy flows. For example, a household only consuming power from the grid in the past, can nowaday also produce power injected into the grid or even store energy. DSO managing their grid need more transparency about these new flows to improve the infrastructure and keep it safe, e.g. from blackouts. We must see and trust what’s happening in real time. 🔍 Enabling transparency means first, collect the data at the edge, then transmit the data from the edge to the DSO through secure communications. In a nutshell: Energy Transition + Decentralization → changing grid flows → need for transparency → need for more data → need for better communication What it enables: 🔹 Live visibility from meter to market 🔹 Two-way coordination between homes, fleets, microgrids, and utilities 🔹 Predictive reliability (fix before it fails) 🔹 Faster decarbonization at lower system cost The smart grid isn’t a gadget—it’s a shared language for electrons. Let’s make the conversation clear. 🔊 #SmartGrid #EnergyTransition #Decentralization #CRA

They promised that a 1500V solar system would cut your costs by 30%. They forgot to mention the one component that could wipe out those savings overnight. That component is the DC cable, fighting a losing battle against 90°C rooftop heat, monsoon humidity, and relentless UV radiation. A single failure here doesn't just cause a dip in performance—it can take a crucial inverter offline, halting revenue entirely. Before you invest in your next high-voltage array, read our guide on how to select DC cabling that actually survives 25 years in the tropics.

Germany’s grid connection requests for battery storage exceed 500 GW, a figure driven by a “first come, first served” approval system rather than viable projects, according to Regelleistung-Online. #Photovoltaics #EnergyStorage #RenewableEnergy

Solar and wind are clean but unpredictable. Without engineered panels, intermittency, bidirectional power flow, and grid risks can undermine reliability. At Motvic, we design IEC-compliant panels that ensure safe inverter connections, load balancing, and smart monitoring—transforming renewable variability into dependable power. #RenewableEnergy #ElectricalPanels #GridIntegration #Motvic

Imagine an extension of 80 million kilometers. It’s a scale that’s hard to grasp. That's roughly equivalent to circling the Earth 2,000 times. Yet, this is the level of grid expansion or replacement required to meet climate and energy goals by 2040. Grid-enSure™ is a portfolio of solutions that supports this transformation with power electronics and advanced control systems.
