Charting the boom in wind and solar power over the past decade.
Experts argue whether electric cars are worse for the environment than gas guzzlers once the manufacturing process and batteries are taken into account
Easy-to-install thermal energy storage technology can be employed to optimize energy savings day after day, while also making grocery stores more resilient during those critical times when they would normally be left in the dark.
OUC has a plan to restore power after a storm or other event. We also answer the question "Why does my neighbor have power, and I don't?"
Normalized Power (NP)® is a mathematically adjusted measurement of average cycling power, designed to better reflect the variable experience of riding a bike. How does Normalized Power work, and how can you use it to analyze your performance and get faster?
Why leave power lines twisting in the wind when they could be buried?
Are you prepared for the next emergency? Interruptions of electrical power, even for a short duration, create situations that can jeopardize
DERs add stress to the grid, raising the risk of power outages. Electricity companies can mitigate these risks using “improved” FLISR processes.
The Clean Power Plan is our country’s most ambitious attempt yet to fight climate change, and it’s causing quite the legal stir. But what does it mean for you, and how big of a deal is it, really?
New proposals could impact power and electricity prices.
GTM helps explain a growing grid resource that can mimic power plants without dominating the landscape.
Electricity companies that take initiative now can position themselves for a bright future in tomorrow’s clean energy economy
For smart cities, one of the biggest opportunities is people interacting with the one element that controls everything: smart power.
Universities are taking advantage of long-term power purchase agreements to boost renewable energy and shrink carbon footprints.
The power industry is facing a nuclear power dilemma, according to a report published by The Union of Concerned Scientists. UCS assessed the economic viability and performance of nuclear power plants operating in the United States and concluded that the retirement of these plants will likely result in the adoption of coal and natural gas for baseload power generation, two energy sources that contribute to carbon dioxide emissions.
Technologies provide the industry an opportunity to fulfill increasing customer expectations.
We know from other sectors that tools exist to operate highly complex, distributed systems in an efficient and reliable manner. It’s time we applied those lessons to the grid, the authors write.
Augmented intelligence may have a big role to play in how grids operate in the future.
You can set a budget for your power bill and get email or text alerts when it gets close to the amount.
