«We appreciate the Secretary reinforcing the resilience of the bulk power system as an important issue that warrants further attention,» the agency said in the order.

We look forward to engaging with FERC, DOE, and grid operators in an examination of what resilience of the electric power system means and requires, and to demonstrating the contribution of our industries to ensuring reliable power for all.»

Distributed storage promises enormous value to the electric system and to improving resilience, and the key to unlocking that value is the increasingly sophisticated and automated ways in which those assets can be operated, whether as a single smart asset to avoid a distribution line upgrade or as a virtual power plant of re-configurable aggregated assets.

Most reporting on the matter has lauded the resilience the grid has shown, but a fuel - security analysis performed by the group that oversees New England's power system delivers a pessimistic chill.

I also believe that it is important to consider the advantages that newer technologies, such as distributed energy resources, energy storage, and microgrids, may offer in addressing resilience challenges to the bulk power system.

Indeed, as I argue in this article, I think it will be absolutely essential that we shift much of our current wasteful fossil fuel use (e.g., shipping the same goods back and forth across the ocean, driving gas - powered private automobiles, and producing disposable consumer goods) toward building new infrastructure for long - term resilience (e.g., local food economies, low - energy housing, greenspace, water catchment and storage, clean energy systems, trains, and, yes, wind - powered sea vessels!).

By spearheading innovations that harness the power of natural systems, Oregon and Washington are at the forefront of addressing the three climate imperatives: (1) reduce reliance on fossil fuels; (2) remove existing carbon pollution; and (3) build resilience to withstand climate impacts.

So it turns out, if you diversify renewables by type so they're not all affected by weather the same way, you diversify them by location, so they don't all see the same weather at the same time, and you integrate them with the resources on the grid, both power plants and ways to save or shift electric use, then you can have a largely, or wholly renewable electric supply system at very reasonable cost, with greater reliability and resilience than we have right now.

PV Tech Storage interviews Paul Bundschuh of Ideal Power, whose company will supply Sharp's new Smartstorage system with power converters and has also developed a three - port hybrid battery converter to better enable grid - resilience and micro gPower, whose company will supply Sharp's new Smartstorage system with power converters and has also developed a three - port hybrid battery converter to better enable grid - resilience and micro gpower converters and has also developed a three - port hybrid battery converter to better enable grid - resilience and micro grids.

The second report from the Energy and Water in a Warming World initiative, Water - Smart Power: Strengthening the U.S. Electricity System in a Warming World, takes up this challenge by exploring how energy choices affect the resilience of our energy sector in the face of both periodic drought and long - term changes in water availability.

FERC instead directed the regional transmission organisations and independent system operators - the bodies that operate the USA's power grid - to assess the resilience of the electricity grid and to recommend additional actions to mitigate any identified issues.
