This is the third in a series of posts about how system-scale perspectives are vital to the planning and development of sustainable power systems, including hydropower. This post will focus on how ...

Data center engineering is ultimately the discipline of applying rigorous power system analysis to a building type that cannot tolerate the failure modes a typical facility can absorb. The analysis, ...

The rapid growth in the proportion of renewable-energy generation, such as wind and solar power, has significantly heightened the power system’s dependence on climate. Global climate change will ...

Planning and operating a power system requires detailed grid studies to guide investment decisions and prepare for how the system may evolve over time. Long-term planning can identify the policy, ...

Salt River Project (SRP) has become one of the first U.S. utilities to shift from an Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) to an Integrated System Plan (ISP), a “holistic roadmap” that takes into account ...

The virtual power plant (VPP) is an increasingly popular choice for realizing the aggregation, optimization, and control of flexible resources that are not necessarily within the same geographical ...

With extreme weather events rising in frequency, the need for a prepared modern energy grid grows. The greatest demand for electricity in Texas is traditionally during the hottest days of the year, ...

For a decade and a half, the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) forecast of electricity consumption was predictable — and predictably flat. Indeed, between 2005 and 2020 load growth ...

Installing a solar system is a practical step towards managing electricity requirements and improving energy efficiency at ...
