The Power of Electricity Pricing in Resource Planning
Read More: The Power of Electricity Pricing in Resource PlanningUtility planning has become increasingly complex. The power system has always been inherently interactive, but new technologies, an increasingly dynamic distribution system, and resource variability have made it more so. We have begun to think more holistically about generation, transmission, and distribution. For example, non-wires alternatives such as distributed storage may replace the need for…

A Path to the Future of Low- and Medium-Voltage DC Networks
Read More: A Path to the Future of Low- and Medium-Voltage DC NetworksOver 100 years ago, DC technology lost the “war of the currents” to AC technology because its proponents failed to find a feasible way to change voltage levels. Since then, the power grid, including both transmission and distribution, has been established based on AC technology. However, the rapid growth of high-tech industry and renewable energy…
