new The challenge is not just replacing coal and gas with solar and wind – it’s about building a new, smart, and integrated energy system. And while solar and wind will play a significant role, the future green energy system will be based on a multitude of sources. Solar and wind will be complemented by energy sources such as hydroelectric generation, biogas, and sustainable biomass, as well as geothermal heat or even wave or tidal energy, to form a diversified mix of renewable energy. All these energy sources can be combined with pumped and battery storage, while hydrogen and Power-to-X solutions, which will make up an increasingly large share of power consumption, can run when energy is abundant and turn off when it's scarce. — orsted.com, 6h ago

new PG&E is also working to enable as many of those EVs as possible to participate in vehicle-to-grid integration programs to support grid reliability and climate resilience. These programs include charging during periods of the day when energy costs and emissions are lower. PG&E is also working to enable bidirectional charging, in which EV batteries can power a customer's home when needed or send electricity back to the grid during high demand periods when PG&E would otherwise rely on natural gas-fired generation. This kind of smart charging and discharging of EVs is also a more efficient use of grid infrastructure, as it uses excess grid capacity during lower demand periods. — prnewswire.com, 1d ago

new Better availability of charging stations at workplaces, for example, could help EVs “soak up peak power being produced at midday from solar power installations,” which might otherwise go to waste because it is not economical to build enough battery or other storage capacity to save all of this solar energy for later in the day. Thus, workplace chargers can provide a double benefit, helping to reduce the evening peak load from EV charging and also making use of the solar electricity output, according to Trancik. — pv magazine USA, 1d ago
