Long-Duration Storage Technologies: Comparing Flow Batteries, Iron-Air, and Hydrogen — utility-scale flow battery storage tanks and industrial piping at sunset

Long-Duration Storage Technologies: Comparing Flow Batteries, Iron-Air, and Hydrogen

How do flow batteries, iron-air and hydrogen differ? Compare efficiency, duration, land use, infrastructure and the market conditions shaping each option.
Why Electricity Demand Is Growing Again: Electrification and the Grid — electric vehicle charging at a suburban street in the evening with homes and utility poles

Why Electricity Demand Is Growing Again: Electrification and the Grid

Electricity demand growth is returning as EVs, heat pumps and industry electrify. See why peak demand and local transformers matter more than annual energy.
Cost Allocation for Multi-Value Transmission Projects: Who Pays and Who Benefits — high-voltage transmission towers crossing rural landscape with distant wind turbines

Cost Allocation for Multi-Value Transmission Projects: Who Pays and Who Benefits

Who pays for a regional transmission line when benefits cross state borders? Compare cost causation, beneficiary-pays methods, and FERC Order 1920.
Grid-Enhancing Technologies: How Dynamic Line Rating and Other Tools Unlock Capacity from Existing Lines — high-voltage transmission towers crossing a windy open landscape under moving clouds

Grid-Enhancing Technologies: How Dynamic Line Rating and Other Tools Unlock Capacity from Existing Lines

How can dynamic line ratings, topology optimization, and power flow control increase capacity on existing transmission lines without new corridors?
Cross-Border Interconnectors: How European Market Coupling Creates Shared Capacity — high-voltage electricity interconnector pylons crossing a rural European landscape under cloudy skies

Cross-Border Interconnectors: How European Market Coupling Creates Shared Capacity

How does market coupling share cross-border capacity? This article explains implicit allocation, flow-based calculations and why prices separate when borders bind.
Transmission Permitting: The Institutional Maze Across Multiple Jurisdictions — high-voltage transmission towers crossing rural farmland near a state border

Transmission Permitting: The Institutional Maze Across Multiple Jurisdictions

Why transmission permitting takes years: the U.S., EU and Australian approval layers, from environmental review to local land-use decisions.
Interconnection Queue Reform: How Grid Operators Are Trying to Fix the Backlog — high-voltage transmission towers crossing a wide open landscape under cloudy skies

Interconnection Queue Reform: How Grid Operators Are Trying to Fix the Backlog

Why interconnection queues are backlogged: cluster studies, readiness fees, and FERC Order 2023—and what reform cannot solve.
HVDC Explained: LCC vs. VSC Converters and Where Each Wins — high-voltage transmission towers crossing a broad rural landscape under dramatic clouds

HVDC Explained: LCC vs. VSC Converters and Where Each Wins

LCC suits strong AC grids and bulk power, while VSC supports weak networks and offshore wind. Compare their costs, losses and grid services.
Transmission Infrastructure: How the High-Voltage Grid Moves Power — high-voltage transmission towers crossing a rural landscape under a partly cloudy sky

Transmission Infrastructure: How the High-Voltage Grid Moves Power

How does transmission infrastructure move power across long distances? This guide explains AC networks, loop flows, congestion, curtailment and HVDC.
Renewable Curtailment: A Sign of Market Failure or a Rational Operational Choice? — wind turbines and high voltage power lines in rural landscape

Renewable Curtailment: A Sign of Market Failure or a Rational Operational Choice?

Curtailment isn't failure. Learn the two renewable energy curtailment reasons—grid limits and market oversupply—and why some waste is rational.
