In a new explainer video, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) calls for a shift in mindset on curtailment, as the curtailment of wind and solar can be used to help make the grid more flexible and reliable.
First-ever demonstration shows wind can fulfill a wider role in future power systems.
Residential solar energy systems paired with battery storage—generally called solar-plus-storage systems—provide power regardless of the weather or the time of day without having to rely on backup power from the grid. Check out some of the benefits.
Researchers from NREL and GE have developed and demonstrated the world’s first turbine that can jump-start the grid during a blackout or operate without the power grid.
The North American Renewable Integration Study (NARIS) assesses opportunities to modernize and decarbonize the North American power system through the integrated planning and operation of generation and transmission infrastructures to meet end-use demand.
Interconnections Seam Study explores benefits and costs of enhanced transmission across U.S. electric grid.
A deeper understanding of bearing axial cracking enables reliability assessments for individual turbines.
