China's Newest Power Plant Swaps Steam For Supercritical CO2
Authored by Haley Zaremba via OilPrice.com,
China just broke ground on a revolutionary new hybridized energy production and storage facility. The power plant will store excess energy in the form of molten salt, and then produce electricity during peak demand times through a supercritical carbon dioxide system. The goal of the project is to limit energy waste while also stabilizing the local power grid. The project could also inform future next-gen energy and energy storage systems, including for application in the nuclear power sector and even on the moon.
Construction of the Ruitan demonstration project began last week in Shandong province in eastern China. The facility is expected to be up and running by next year, at which point it will be the first of its kind to operate on the planet. The first phase of the project will involve a supercritical unit with a capacity of 50 megawatts, and a molten salt energy storage system with a ...

Energy Secretary Announces $2 Billion For Improving Electric Grid With Smart Technology
The U.S. Department of Energy has committed $2 billion for smart technology improvements to the nation's electric grid, aiming to address concerns about artificial intelligence power usage, blackouts, and higher utility bills heading into the colder seasons.
During a press conference on Sept. 24, Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the investment would affect around 100 million Americans. Nationally, the spending would be distributed across 31 projects in 26 states and is expected to produce more than 23 gigawatts of electricity annually, enough to power about 16 million homes.
"This is a quick way to lower electricity prices and increase reliability: using fibers that are already in the transmission lines to analyze what's the temperature out, what's the wind out, how can we use this transmission line to distribute more power, but safely and only in the right conditions," Wright said, speaking ...

New York Audits Utility AI Use, Cites Risk In "Growing Dependency"
By Robert Walton of UtilityDive
The New York Public Service Commission last week launched an inquiry into public utility use of artificial intelligence, noting that AI systems “create risk for organizations” but are also increasingly used to perform basic tasks.
The Sept. 17 order requires electric, gas and water utilities to respond within 60 days with “a written inventory report that describes all use cases of AI systems in their operations.”
Consolidated Edison, which serves New York City, said it uses AI for a range of uses, including customer service and system inspections. “As technology evolves, we will continue to evaluate opportunities,” a spokesperson said in an email to Utility Dive.
Public utilities are increasingly using AI systems for day-to-day operations, and New York regulators are concerned they are “susceptible to hallucinations, algorithmic biases, transparency issues, data privacy co...

China has scrapped two-thirds of its planned coal power plants abroad: report (SCMP)
|
|
|
Five years after China pledged to stop building or financing new coal-fired power plants overseas, the country's state sector has made “significant progress” towards meeting that goal, though private projects are still being developed, according to a new report.
Two-thirds of China's overseas coal power projects planned five years ago have since been cancelled, a 61.5-gigawatt (GW) cut in capacity that has saved 6.4 billion tonnes of “lifetime” carbon dioxide emissions, the study by a pair of......
