✍️ The article discusses the need for a more flexible and optimized power grid to meet rising energy demand, highlighting the importance of power system innovations and the value of flexibility in the US power system.
👉 The traditional one-way electron flow of the 20th century grid is no longer sufficient to meet the demands of the 21st century. 👉 New tools and technologies can ease the burden of rising demand while limiting customer costs. 👉 Utilities and regulators are calling for restarting aged power plants and touting immature energy sources, which could increase electricity prices by 25% by 2030. 👉 A sophisticated set of power system optimizations could allow operators to reduce the need for costly new infrastructure by maximizing the flexibility of loads and resources.
