Successful basketball teams include players with a variety of talents—three-point shooting, rebounding, defending, passing. However, assembling a team where every player excels in all these areas is impractical (and likely prohibitively expensive and difficult to coach). Instead, prudent coaches identify specific skills gaps and recruit players to fill the gaps. In the energy world, a…

Since 2022, many large electronic-based loads have connected to the ERCOT Interconnection. ERCOT has observed that much of this load exhibits voltage-sensitive behavior and will immediately reduce consumption under moderate voltage disturbances. This has the potential to adversely affect reliability, so ERCOT has been actively monitoring load behavior and considering grid code changes to maintain…

The global transition to renewable energy sources, and in particular the increased penetration levels of wind and solar in many jurisdictions, has led to new challenges in power system reliability associated with the integration of these variable, weather-driven generation resources into the electric grid. Forecasting of the variable generation on a wide range of time scales…

Delivering a Cost-Efficient Energy Transition with Flexibility Europe’s commitment to net-zero emissions by 2050, coupled with the energy crisis and the Russian aggression towards Ukraine, has accelerated the push for electrification and renewable energy (e.g., Fit455, RED III, RePowerEU). This transition requires significant investment in distribution grids, a point underscored by Eurelectric’s “Grids for Speed”…
