It occurred in the wake of the California electricity crisis of 2000 and 2001, when mismanaged deregulation, market manipulation, and environmental catastrophe combined to unhinge the power grid. Once electricity is generated and passes into the grid, it is typically used almost immediately.

HybridSHIP is concerned with introducing batteries for on-board energy storage, integrated with fuel cells and gas engines. In his presentation Dr Sames set out GL’s design concept for a zero-emission container feeder vessel (above). One possible pathway being explored by the shipping industry is the use of hydrogen fuel cells.

The winds had barely died down when electric-power specialists and others began calling for a radical overhaul of Puerto Rico’s electricity networks, one that would emphasize renewable energy, distributed generation, and, critically, microgrids. A microgrid is like a miniaturized, tightly controlled version of a power grid.

Additionally, most municipal regulations and permitting processes are not yet designed with PEVs in mind and present a bureaucratic obstacle to the timely and efficient installation of residential recharging units. Detailed knowledge of the power grid is required to ensure that outages are avoided. Market Drivers.

ChargePoint’s stance is bolstered by a new MIT study that suggests , in part, that electric cars that plug into the grid, could, collectively, act as a massive “virtual battery” for grid energy storage. In the power grid, supply and demand need to match exactly. ChargePoint envisions that at scale—i.e.,

At the hub of the system would be a “smart electricity grid&# that allows electricity to flow where it is needed most and that dissipates energy spikes as weather systems sweep through. “It would help stabilize the energy flows, so you don’t come up against the limits of the grid.
