ERCOT Heat Wave Is No Sweat for AI-Powered DERMS

AutoGrid

With this comes a surge in electricity use, mostly from cooling systems. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) is predicting a historic demand of over 80,000 MW , putting immense pressure on the state’s power grid. Temperatures across Texas will run 10-15 degrees above normal for at least the next seven days.

In preparation for V2G technology, designers will need to develop bi-directional chargers that also can supply energy to the power grid. Compared to uni-direction chargers, bi-directional designs are more complex, requiring more components, additional effort to manage power dissipation, and sophisticated control algorithms.
