Heating and Cooling Carbon-Neutral Buildings
Read More: Heating and Cooling Carbon-Neutral BuildingsThe decarbonization challenge in buildings is to create a comfortable and healthy indoor climate in a carbon-neutral society. Cost-effective decarbonization requires a balanced approach, where efficiency measures that reduce the demand for heating and cooling are balanced with decarbonization measures that radically change how we heat and cool our buildings. Combining both types of measures…

How to Keep the Lights on When the Sun Doesn’t Shine and the Wind Doesn’t Blow
Read More: How to Keep the Lights on When the Sun Doesn’t Shine and the Wind Doesn’t BlowSystem operators around the world face the increasing integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) into the power grid. DERs – small-scale, decentralized generators such as rooftop solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, and electric vehicles – are connected to the distribution system, whereas larger inverter-based resources are often connected to the transmission system and can be…

A Continuum of Capabilities in an Inverter-Based Resource will be Important for Future System Reliability
Read More: A Continuum of Capabilities in an Inverter-Based Resource will be Important for Future System ReliabilityAs the power system continues to evolve with an increase in inverter-based resources (IBRs), there could be a need to adopt future inverter technology and capability that could allow for operating a 100% IBR network in a safe, secure, and reliable manner. Such inverter technology has been labeled as grid-forming (GFM) in certain industrial discussions.…
