Smart Wires is one of a handful of companies developing digital power flow control systems that could revolutionize how power grids function, compared to the mostly electromechanical system in place today. EirGrid’s transmission networks are struggling to integrate that power efficiently, O’Sullivan said.

is going to need a lot more solar and wind power generation, and lots of cheap energy storage. Wind and solar power vary over the course of a day, so energy storage is essential to provide a continuous flow of electricity. Two types of pumped-storage hydropower; one doesn’t require a river. To cut U.S.

Hailed as the greatest invention of the 20th century , our now-aging grid was based on fundamental concepts that made sense at the time it was developed. The original foundation was a combination of “base load” coal plants that operated 24 hours a day and large-scale hydropower. Innovations that make 100% clean power possible.

Another $120 million per year through 2025 would be directed toward wind power improvements, with a similarly broad mandate for the Department of Energy on how to spend it. Energy storage — a category that ranges from behind-the-meter batteries to massive hydropower projects — appears in multiple parts of the Senate bill.
