NREL participated in and provided technical input at an evaluation stage of a microgrid controller at EDF’s Concept Grid test facility. The Concept Grid is a smart-grid test facility designed to anticipate and facilitate the transition from electricity distribution
NREL’s Power Systems Engineering Center published 47 journal and magazine articles in the past year highlighting recent research in grid modernisation, all available in a new report. The articles can be grouped into four categories: Integrated Devices and Systems
Enel S.p.A., through its subsidiary Enel Green Power North America, Inc. (EGPNA), has started operations of Lindahl wind farm, which is Enel’s first project in the state of North Dakota. Lindahl has an installed capacity of 150 MW and can
Last year DNV GL has started updating the DNVGL-RP-0043 “GRIDSTORE”, the international Recommended Practice on grid-connected energy storage systems, to optimise safety, operation and performance of grid-connected energy storage systems. All energy storage stakeholders are now invited to provide
NREL’s energy storage team has joined forces with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the University College London (UCL) for a cutting-edge study on lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery failure right down to the cell level, using the lab’s
Wind turbines and photovoltaic systems supply more or less energy to the grid depending on good or bad weather conditions. This makes it challenging for transmission grid operators to forecast the amount of supplied energy as accurately as possible in
As India aims high to broaden their renewable energy capacity and takes more stringent measures to improve the quality, DNV GL has officially launched its full suite of LVRT Testing services for the Indian wind market to support grid stability
The new ACES (Across Continents Electric Vehicle Services) project by the Center for Electric Power and Energy of DTU intends to investigate technical and economic system benefits and impacts by large scale electric vehicles integration in Bornholm. The project will
The effects of climate change increasingly impact the demand and need for cooling. VTT of Finland and German company ZAE Bayern have built an emission-free, solar-powered 10kW chiller. The project began in October 2013 and ended at the turn of
Denmark is one of the countries in Europe that has the largest amount of direct current (DC) connections, yet lacks methods for optimal coordination and management of them. DC connections are more flexible and more controllable than the AC connections
