Distributed energy resources (DERs) have become a major part of the power generation landscape, particularly in support of a ...

Skyrocketing growth in demand, accelerating security threats, extreme weather events and increasing systemic vulnerabilities ...

The electrical grid is facing unprecedented stress from the addition of new data centers. Software could offer a ...

The grid is made up of power generators — such as dams, coal plants or wind turbines — and more than five million miles of power lines carrying electricity all over the country, according to the vice ...

The rapid scaling of artificial intelligence data centers — much of it expected to occur in Texas — could be limited not only by power grid capacity but also a lack of blue-collar workers, BlackRock ...

It hasn’t been that long since humans figured out how to create power grids that integrated multiple generators and consumers. Ever since AC won the battle of the currents, grid operators have had to ...

When an early warning system designed to alert operators across Europe about disturbances on the grid was rolled out a decade ago, the predominant color showing on the on-screen maps was green. Safe ...

In simple terms, inertia refers to the energy stored in the rotating masses of synchronous generators, typically found in traditional thermal power plants. This stored kinetic energy acts as a cushion ...
