This week, Deploy24, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s second annual convening, united key public and private sector stakeholders to explore technologies and strategies for a clean, reliable, and resilient energy system. Across two thought-provoking days, innovation emerged as the central theme. SEPA was excited to be part of Deploy24 and to highlight our members’ innovative work to reduce emissions, meet growing electricity demand, and modernize the grid. SEPA member Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), represented by Lora Anguay, Chief Zero Carbon Officer, was in conversation about bringing innovation into the heart of the grid with Emily Sanford Fisher, SEPA’s Chief Strategy Officer. Lora shared SMUD’s integration of new customer programs and advanced system operations in service of ambitious decarbonization goals. As part of this discussion, Lon Huber, SVP, Pricing and Customer Programs at SEPA member Duke Energy, talked about innovative ways to use AI in utility operations and new tariff structures to serve the growing demand for electricity to support AI. Innovation also was a key part of the discussion with SEPA member EnergyHub’s founder and President, Seth Frader-Thompson, DOE’s Acting Director of the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations Kelly Cummins, and Lon Huber about actionable strategies to build a clean and affordable grid in the face of increasing demand and more extreme weather. SEPA team members, Lakin Garth and Ann Collier, who work on emerging technology issues, participated in dialogues about geothermal heating and cooling and digitalizing the distribution grid. Innovative solutions are all around us; sharing information about these new technologies and strategies and how they are being successfully deployed is one of the keys to our collective clean energy success.

Alternative Energy Solutions for a Clean, Resilient Future---Microgrids In a world increasingly focused on sustainable and resilient energy solutions, microgrids are becoming necessary. Microgrids represent a paradigm shift in the approach to local energy generation, distribution, and consumption. From traditional methods to more innovative and sustainable practices, they offer a flexible, efficient, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional power systems, particularly in areas prone to outages or lacking robust infrastructure. Microgrids are not just miniature versions of the larger power grid, they are sophisticated, dynamic systems capable of producing, storing, and distributing power independently. Their ability to operate independently during grid failures provides a resilient energy supply, ensuring continuous power in emergencies or natural disasters. This capability makes them invaluable in situations where the electric grid may be unstable but energy reliability and sustainability are of utmost importance. One of the key characteristics of microgrids is their ability to operate both in conjunction with the traditional power grid and independently. This dual-mode operation is what sets microgrids apart. Microgrids can integrate a variety of sources of energy generation, such as solar panels, wind turbines, and even fuel cells. Some microgrids include energy storage systems like batteries, which store excess energy and provide backup power when needed. Advanced control systems are the brains of the microgrid, intelligently managing the power generators, as well as the distribution of power to ensure efficiency and stability. The control systems are responsible for real-time decisions, like balancing energy supply and demand, switching between different power sources, and seamlessly transitioning between grid-connected and island modes. Microgrids are not a one-size-fits-all solution, though. They are highly customizable and designed to meet the unique needs of their specific locale. This customization is essential for areas with specific energy requirements or where grid reliability is a concern. By utilizing a combination of renewable energy sources and state-of-the-art technology, microgrids not only contribute to reducing carbon footprints but also ensure a more resilient and reliable energy supply. Microgrids will be instrumental in transitioning from traditional energy models to more decentralized, cleaner, and resilient systems, paving the way for a future where energy security and sustainability go hand in hand. #willnineenergy #solar #solarstorage #ess #lithiumbattery #solarpower

To meet demand growth and decarbonise, we need unencumbered access to clean energy. At Highview Power, we’ve developed a unique yet proven solution to enable the transition to 247.365, secure, agile, clean energy. We make renewables more flexible, responsive and dependable to energise businesses, communities and nations worldwide. We do that by providing responsive demand, long duration energy storage, synchronous generation and independent grid stabilisation services in a single, holistic solution. We call this Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES). Because renewables themselves can’t respond to demand, our solution captures excess energy when it’s generated, refrigerates and stores it as liquid air, for up to days or even weeks at a time, until it’s needed to power a turbine and dispatch clean energy on demand. Meanwhile an independent stability island provides the essential balancing services this new net zero grid model requires. And uniquely, we can do all this simultaneously.

The Importance of Grid Modernization in the Energy Transition... As we move towards a cleaner, more sustainable energy future, one of the biggest challenges we face is modernizing our aging electrical power grids. These complex networks of transmission lines, substations, and distribution centers are the backbone of our energy system, but many of them were built decades ago and are struggling to keep up with the demands of the 21st century. The rise of renewable energy sources like solar and wind power is putting even more pressure on our grids. Unlike traditional fossil fuel plants, which can be ramped up or down to match demand, renewables are intermittent and unpredictable. This means that our grids need to be more flexible, resilient, and intelligent than ever before. That's where grid modernization comes in. By investing in smart grid technologies, advanced sensors, and sophisticated data analytics tools, we can create a more responsive, efficient, and reliable energy system that can handle the challenges of the energy transition. But the benefits of grid modernization go beyond just cost savings and reliability. By creating a more intelligent, data-driven energy system, we can also unlock new opportunities for innovation and growth. For example, a modernized grid can enable the development of new business models like peer-to-peer energy trading, where individuals and businesses can buy and sell excess renewable energy directly to each other. It can also support the growth of electric vehicles and other clean technologies that require a reliable, flexible, and affordable energy supply. Of course, modernizing our grids is no easy feat. It requires significant investment, collaboration, and political will. But the benefits are well worth the effort. As CEOs and business leaders, we have a critical role to play in driving this transformation forward. By investing in grid modernization, supporting innovative clean energy solutions, and advocating for progressive energy policies, we can help create a more sustainable, resilient, and prosperous future for all. What strategies and technologies do you think will be most important for creating a smarter, cleaner, and more reliable energy system? #GridModernization #SmartGrids #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy #SustainableFuture
