Iowa State engineers are leading a team developing cybersecurity systems that prevent, detect and mitigate attacks on renewable sources sending power to the grid. The U.S. Department of Energy is supporting the project with a $2 million grant.
Argonne is working with local jurisdictions to develop dam-related emergency action plans through FEMA’s Collaborative Technical Assistance (CTA) program.
When electric grids go down, there's no way to restore them -- "blackstart" them -- with power from wind turbines. Iowa State's Hugo Villegas Pico is leading a team that's working to develop strategies and controllers that would reenergize power grids dominated by wind power.
With the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season forecast to be above average activity with a higher probability of major hurricanes making landfall along the continental U.S. coastline, several FAU faculty experts are available to discuss various issues surrounding hurricane preparedness, evacuation and aftermath.
The idea of a 15-minute city – one where everyone’s essential needs can be met within walking distance – is within reach for Vancouver, but more needs to be done to provide access in neighbourhoods with higher proportions of children, older adults, and racialized populations.
A new control system shows promise in making millions of homes contributors to improved power grid operations, reaping cost and environmental benefits.
Serious auto crashes in urban areas are more likely on city streets that look to drivers like highways, new research suggests.
By: Bill Wellock | Published: May 2, 2022 | 4:03 pm | SHARE: Florida State University faculty are leaders in the study of hurricanes and the effects of these destructive storms.Their scholarship has led to research on infrastructure challenges, evacuation routes, sustainable tools and mental health challenges for those affected by hurricanes.
A new IIASA-led study proposes a novel method to estimate global economic wellbeing using nighttime satellite images.
Agricultural efforts in downstream countries in Central Asia would be significantly boosted with a “dual water and energy storage scheme”, which also paves the way for high shares of renewable energy generation in the region.
An expert in underground construction and trenchless technologies, ASU's Samuel Ariaratnam will serve on the U.S. DOT's Technical Pipeline Safety Standards Committee.
Partnerships between water utilities, irrigation districts and other stakeholders in California will play a critical role in funding new infrastructure under the Water Resilience Portfolio Initiative announced in 2020 by Gov. Gavin Newsom, but a new study warns that benefits might not be evenly distributed without proper structure to the agreements.
Scientists have created a battery designed for the electric grid that locks in energy for months without losing much storage capacity. It’s a step toward batteries that can be used for seasonal storage: saving renewable energy in one season, such as the spring, and spending it in another, like autumn.
The penetration of power electronics into power generation and distribution systems has deepened in recent years, as prompted by the increasing use of renewable sources, the quest for higher performance in the control of power conversion, as well as the increasing influence of economic plans that necessitate power trading among different regions or clusters of power distribution.
New analysis confirms a palpable change in fire dynamics already suspected by many.
Cold spells, wildfires, hurricanes and other events are happening with increasing intensity. As the share of weather-dependent energy sources grows, electricity markets and power systems have the opportunity to improve short- and long-term plans.
During a press conference, a reporter asked Senate Majority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY, “What do you make of Senator Manchin’s proposal to have more domestic oil production?” Schumer answered, "the U.S. is a major oil producer; we only get one percent of any imports from Russia.” We find this claim to be mostly false. Although it fluctuates month to month, about 8% of the oil imported to the U.S. is from Russia.
One year after winter storms crippled Texas’ electricity grid, contributing to more than 200 deaths, a Cornell University-led analysis recommends contracting improvements to reduce decentralized energy markets’ vulnerability to rare events.
