Articles about Grid Integration and Transmission

This DOE literature review summarizes publicly available transmission analyses on the Atlantic Coast, as well as gaps in such analyses, in order to improve understanding of offshore wind transmission options.

Various energy industry stakeholders are calling for interconnection queue reform. While many projects that apply for interconnection are never built, data from these queues nonetheless provide a glimpse of the types of projects under development.

Distributed wind energy systems have unique characteristics, such as likely threats, geography, stakeholders, risk tolerance, and mitigations. A multilaboratory research team is using resilience metrics to evaluate the benefits of distributed wind.

A new report from DOE’s Idaho National Laboratory and its industry partner EnerNex details new approaches to help secure the nation’s grid against physical and cybersecurity threats.

A Lawrence Berkeley National Lab study assessed market value for solar and wind through 2019. The study, published in Joule, found that average market values for the technologies remained higher than their average generation costs.

Researchers in DOE’s Grid Modernization Initiative recently released a report detailing challenges and research opportunities in wholesale electricity market design.

DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy recently selected four wind-energy-related projects for Small Business Innovation Research Phase I funding. The announcement is part of DOE-wide awards totaling $54 million.
