Title
Energy Storage - A Key Enabler of the Smart Grid
Description
Of the variety of energy storage technologies that could
support a smart grid, advanced batteries may offer the
broadest potential, according to this paper developed by the National Energy Technology Laboratory for the DOE. Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES), Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES), and pumped hydroelectric storage all have value as large central station energy storage technologies, but are not well suited to also support smart distribution system
applications.

Smart Grid: The Tuesday Topic - Smart Grid News - Grid Modernization and the Smart Grid

 THE TUESDAY TOPIC

If you could design your own smart grid demo, what would it look like?

Three new demonstration projects caught our attention - a smart grid effort in Albuquerque's business district, a rapid recovery transformer study in Texas and a trial involving low voltage current sensor technologies in the UK. They also got us to thinking: At this stage in the smart grid build out, if you could design a demonstration project, what would it entail? That's our latest Tuesday Topic; click for the details.
