My growing interest in Distributed Energy Resources (DER)
I am drawn to DER for multiple reasons. Partly its because updating aging technology systems is what I’ve been doing my whole professional life and this is an opportunity to tackle familiar problems on a global scale - with no shortage of urgency. But part of my fascination is that microgrids and islanding just sound cool! I get interested because our global power story is changing - and change usually means new opportunities!
Will Vehicle-to-Grid help power our RE future?
Can a single car really help the Grid in a power emergency? Probably not. But people that are pushing V2G are not thinking about individual cars. They are imagining millions of EVs that can be dynamically pooled together on demand.
