Monitoring grid stability with hydropower signals

Smart Energy International

US researchers have created a new method to predict electric grid stability in real time using signals from pumped storage hydropower facilities. With increasing intermittent renewable generation, such real-time situational awareness is increasingly critical for grid stability. Have you read?

Improving the efficiency of the hydropower network

Envirotec Magazine

Hydropower is an extremely old source of energy, whose provenance extends back to the watermills that were relied upon by ancient civilisations. Hydroelectricity remains an attractive renewable energy source today, especially in Europe which has a large network of small and large hydropower plants. WEG installation.

IHA paper: Couple green hydrogen with hydropower to create a net-zero future

Renewable Energy World

The International Hydropower Association (IHA) has released a research and policy paper that outlines how hydropower could be pivotal in supporting growth in green hydrogen. Looking ahead hydropower could potentially supply at least 1,000 TWh of the additional electricity demand required in IRENA’s 2050 scenario.

Clean energy technology supply chains must get better, faster, cleaner, says report

Envirotec Magazine

This latest briefing, “ Better, Faster, Cleaner: Securing clean energy technology supply chains”, makes the case that global supply of key materials and components is sufficient to meet growing demand for clean energy technologies (wind, solar, batteries, grids, heat pumps) over the medium- to long-term.

Britain's power grid celebrates greenest day and month on record in 2022

Business Green

More than half of the UK's electricity came from zero carbon sources across five months last year, as Britain celebrated a flurry of fresh green grid records in 2022, according to National Grid ESO. Indeed, gas power continued to play a major role on Britain's grid last year, providing 38.5

Renewables overtake fossil fuels in 2020 as Britain's power grid enjoys 'greenest year' yet

Business Green

But Imperial College London analysis warns emerging technologies and negative emission power plants are likely to be needed to unlock full decarbonisation of the grid. Wind and solar alone generated around 30 per cent of Britain's electricity in 2020, while biomass provided seven per cent, and hydropower made up 1.6

DOE announces goal to cut costs of long-duration energy storage by 90%

Renewable Energy World

Cheaper and more efficient storage will make it easier to capture and store clean energy for use when energy generation is unavailable or lower than demand – for instance, so solar-generated power can be used at night. Energy storage technology holds great promise in the fight against climate change.
