Next-Generation Grid Technologies
For power electronics, technical R&D is needed across advanced components, devices and systems, and whole-system integration. Each R&D opportunity helps solve the grid of today''s challenges and facilitates the transformation to a modernized, future grid that is resilient, reliable, secure, affordable, flexible, and sustainable. Figure 1.
Energy storage
What are the challenges? Grid-scale battery storage needs to grow significantly to get on track with the Net Zero Scenario. While battery costs have fallen dramatically in recent years due to the scaling up of electric vehicle production, market disruptions and competition from electric vehicle makers have led to rising costs for key minerals used in battery production, notably lithium.
What happens to excess energy fed into the power grid?
If now a lot of Photovoltaik produces more power than consumed in this area, the Power has to go into the grid over the transformator. But yet, the current flows towards the transformer, which means, that it is the point with the lowest, not the highest voltage. Therefore the voltage can easiely be to high and the photovoltaiks have to shut
How It Works: Electric Transmission & Distribution and
flowing on the transmission and distribution grid originates at large power generators, power is sometimes also supplied back to the grid by end users via Distributed Energy Resources (DER)— small, modular, energy generation and storage technologies that provide electric capacity at end-user sites (e.g., rooftop solar panels). Exhibit 1.
