Distributed Energy Sources/Resources (DES/DER) – Some Reality Checks

Electricity is unique in that we can’t tell where the electric field at our home/commercial system interface comes from – electricity is a fungible resource, unlike water or other utilities and services that arrive with readable/testable tags or..

Climate change could mean fewer sunny days for hot regions banking on solar power

What I like about renewable energy is that it is always evolving. Reading this article just solidifies my belief in energy storage systems . Regardless of what may happen due to the climate. If you have solar panels you should have a battery back..

That's a challenging feedback loop I hadn't considered much-- important to get solar installed today to help mitigate climate change so future solar panels aren't made less effective

The Emergence of Hydrogen in the Distributed Energy Resources Marketplace

On the small-scale, hydrogen backed DERs can provide local micro-grid resiliency to hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and campus environments, etc. While on the large scale, renewable production of hydrogen fed into the peaking operations...

Regional Director, at Edison Energy, LLC, Edison Energy

Is there a challenge with losing economies of scale by pairing H2 with distributed resources instead of larger utility-scale plants or even dedicated large-scale production facilities dedicated to hydrogen?

Superconductor technology for smaller, sooner fusion

MIT-Commonwealth Fusion Systems demonstration of new superconducting cable is a key step on the high-field path to compact fusion.

Writer/Editor, RiverRun Media

The SPARC team continues to improve VIPER cable and is moving on to the next project milestone in mid-2021: “We’ll be building a multi-ton model coil that will be similar to the size of a full-scale magnet for SPARC,” says Sorbom. I know it's hard to speculate timelines far out especially when still in the research phase-- but what's the broad...

As Zach Hartwig says in the piece: “If we’re successful in what we’re doing and in other technologies, fusion energy will start to make a difference in mitigating climate change — not in 100 years, but in 10 years.” MIT recently published a series of papers on the physics of behind this small fusion reactor idea, which the NY Times reported. Given that the fundamental science seems quite...

A 2030 rollout would be exciting, seems like a compelling story to watch. Just like SMRs are finally coming into fruition after years of promises, this could be another great sign of progress for the nuclear industry. Thanks, Leda!
