| | Alaska power customers have typically faced high electric bills, the result of tenuously-connected remote communities and the high cost to serve them. Alaska's Chugach Electric Association's Anchorage-area project will be used to test scalability and improve power stability for roughly 300,000 people. The company will use a modular, container-housed microgrid solution to blend flywheel and battery storage. The flywheel will facilitate the integration of fluctuating wind power and the battery will be used for long-term storage. Integration of renewables is a key element. The project demonstrates how storage technology can boost renewable energy penetration, and could have far reaching implications for new renewable projects. | >> Read more |

| How microgrids can cut costs and emissions,
and enhance reliability | | Power grids are undergoing a revolution on a scale not seen since power distribution first emerged. The increasing share of local generation is leading to changes in the way grids are managed. Local generating capability has often been augmented by the installation of photovoltaic cells, sometimes in conjunction with battery storage. Through microgrids, owners of large sites such as hospitals or factories are now able to control their own power networks, and so reduce costs and emissions. | >> Read more | |
