The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) and DOE national laboratories are excited to convene the fourth meeting of the Industry Advisory Board (IAB) and workshop for the Securing Solar for the Grid (S2G) program. The #S2G program will bring together diverse thought industry leaders and project leaders from four national laboratories, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, and Idaho National Laboratory to share the work done during Fiscal Year 2022-2024. The workshop will create an opportunity for industry to provide feedback to inform research efforts. Register here: https://lnkd.in/gwixJKvM

This week, Under Secretary Richmond cut the ribbon at the new Grid Storage Launchpad (GSL) at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, funded by Office of Electricity . The 93,000 square foot space is a $75 million national grid energy storage R&D facility that will accelerate the development of safer, more cost effective, and more durable next-generation grid energy storage technologies. #GSL will achieve this through standardized testing and validation of technologies from basic materials to 100 kW-scale battery systems for grid and transportation applications. In addition to grid-scale energy storage, researchers at GSL can also develop, test, and scale smaller prototype batteries, such as coin cells, pouch batteries, and prism batteries to improve understanding of battery performance and provide commercial-scale insights. Congratulations to the Office of Electricity , #PNNL, and everyone who made this project a success!

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Grid Modernization Initiative has announced its strategy for investing in innovative new technologies to modernize today’s power grid while ensuring it remains secure and sustainable. Drawing from the Administration’s goals and power system objectives, the GMI’s updated strategy defines six pillars to guide its work: 1) Devices and Integrated Systems; 2) Operations 3) Planning; 4) Markets, Policies, and Regulations; 5) Resilient and Secure Systems; and 6) Flexible Generation and Load. The future modernized grid will need to balance a variety of key priorities that are not all perfectly aligned with each other. This document establishes a clear and actionable grid modernization strategy for DOE and the national labs to align these priorities in a secure and efficient manner.

🆕: Today, OE announced the selection of Southern Company for a $2.4 million project on Distribution Communication and Control Technologies Research, Development, and Demonstration. Through this funding, OE’s research partners will be able to experiment with new approaches & technologies on the operating grid without risking disruptions to critical energy services. ⚡️ What does this mean? The grid is constantly evolving and adding new resources like solar panels, batteries, and electric vehicles. This new infrastructure will require a more advanced grid with new tools, devices, & operating methods. Digital twins–detailed software models of physical systems–provide a means of conducting this experimentation without putting the current in-service electric grid at risk.
