The US electric grid is straining to keep up with demand. For starters, our warming climate means more electricity is needed to keep people cool. Last summer—which was the hottest on record—energy ...

Simulations on the Stampede2 supercomputer of the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) are helping scientists engineer solutions to overheating of grid transformers -- a critical component of the ...

America's electric grid is one of the largest and most complicated pieces of infrastructure ever built. It is intended to deliver electricity nearly 100% of the time in any situation. The electric ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are looking for a happy medium to enable the grid of the future, filling a gap between high and low voltages for power ...

Demand for electricity in Texas continues to break records. It comes as the power grid strains under increased demand due to data centers and cryptocurrency mining. It has been hot in Texas this week, ...

America's electricity demand is soaring. The rise of data centers, electric vehicles (EVs), and a rebounding manufacturing industry has pushed the power grid to its limits. To keep up, the U.S. needs ...

It looks like one side of a duck. And grid operators call it the duck curve. If you trace the net daily demand for energy in California it starts at midnight with the tail, then it follows the belly ...

With "vehicle-to-grid" technology, EVs turn into a vast network of backup power. That could help stabilize the system and ...

A U.S. lab has announced the launch of the Next-Generation Data Centers Institute (NGDCI), a major new initiative aimed at tackling the growing energy challenges posed by artificial intelligence (AI) ...

Applying their algorithm, they showed that various networks of grid-edge devices were able to dissolve the various attacks. The results demonstrate that grid-edge devices such as rooftop solar panels, ...

What began as a spark of inspiration at the 2024 Avatar Studio has become a powerful new entrant in Canada’s energy innovation space. FlexConnect, founded by a team of engineers with deep roots in oil ...
