Building Grid Solar 
Charged EVs
OCTOBER 25, 2024
The challenges involved in getting EV chargers hooked up to the grid are well-known to Charged readers. Various off-grid solutions are available, but the best approach may be a flexible one—using some combination of onsite generation, battery storage and grid power, according to what’s available and what’s needed for the application.

Distributing grid operational decision-making is revolutionary. —Dane Christensen, a mechanical engineer in NREL’s Residential Buildings Research Group and a principal investigator on a blockchain pilot project. It’s really like somebody in the 1980s expounding on the economic opportunity of the Internet.

Sandia National Laboratories researchers recently delivered electricity produced by a new power-generating system to the Sandia-Kirtland Air Force Base electrical grid. It took us a long time to get the data needed to let us connect to the grid. In comparison, the Brayton cycle has a theoretical conversion efficiency upwards of 50%.

The technology could fundamentally transform the way electricity is stored on the grid, making power from renewable energy sources such as wind and sun far more economical and reliable. Solid-electrode batteries maintain discharge at peak power for far too short a time to fully regulate wind or solar power output.
