Power Grid Microfilm First Prize: Revolutionizing Energy Storytelling
The Power Grid Microfilm First Prize winners prove there''s a better way - but first, let''s diagnose why conventional approaches crash harder than an overloaded transformer.
Jasim et al. (2022) proposed a hybrid grid that connected renewable sources with energy storage devices in microgrids. If renewable resources were insufficient to satisfy demand, the control operation plan filled the energy gap with battery storage devices. In this work, a biomass gasifier was employed to generate power for the suggested system.
As today's electric grid modernizes to address changes in how we generate and use power—including integrating more renewable energy, electric vehicles and energy storage—DOE's role is even more vital. Our support of grid technology upgrades is even more important for the 21 st Century grid.
The electric grid we have known for more than 100 years is being challenged in new ways by cybersecurity incidents, increasing demand, newer generation resources, and weather events. DOE investments are helping add more energy to the electric grid faster, improve reliability and resilience, and deploy innovative technologies across the country.
To improve energy resilience, reduce operating costs, and increase microgrid profit, Mahfuz-Ur-Rahman et al. (2021) suggested using a model predictive control technique that considers future load behavior and energy cost profiles to establish the optimal power flow trajectory.
