"Thank You, Mr. President": Maryland Freedom Caucus Applauds Trump's Coal Power Plant Restart Plan
Submitted by Maryland Freedom Caucus,
Today, President Trump is taking action to help reverse the damage done to Maryland's energy industry by directing federal support toward coal power infrastructure, including funding that could help restart Maryland's Warrior Run power plant near Cumberland.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Today, we're taking historic action to bring down the price of energy and the cost of living for all Americans with the power of clean, beautiful coal... As a result of the $700M investment that I'm announcing today, we will protect 14 coal plants and 42 coal… pic.twitter.com/o2IxCelLpn

"Bring Your Own Capacity" - Google And Voltus To Deploy Virtual Power Plant
Google signed a three-year Bring Your Own Capacity (BYOC) agreement with Voltus for up to 100 MW of accredited distributed capacity in the PJM Interconnection. Voltus will aggregate batteries, smart thermostats, electric vehicles, and other flexible assets from homes and businesses into a Google-funded Virtual Power Plant (VPP).
When the grid needs relief, the software dispatches those resources in concert. Participants get paid, and Google gets capacity without waiting for traditional interconnection queues.
A VPP is not a physical plant at all. It is coordinated software that turns thousands of small, customer-sited resources into something that behaves like dispatchable generation. Distributed energy resources (DERs) such as solar panels, batteries, smart thermostats, and flexible loads already sitting on the grid become a decentralized fleet.
Instead of building another transmission line or expensiv...

US Govt. Lab Launches Advanced Battery Lab To Help Power Grid
Authored by Georgina Jedikovska via Interesting Engineering,
The US has recently launched a new battery production line, which is expected to help researchers develop safer and cheaper energy storage technologies for the electric grid.

The new line is housed at the Grid Storage Launchpad (GSL), a 93,000-square-foot research facility. It is run by the Department of Energy's (DOE) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in Richland, Washington State.
According to PNNL, the newly commissioned production line features a total of 16 pieces of equipment inside a 1,400-square-foot laboratory. It is reportedly the first prismatic battery cell production line at a US national laboratory.
Researchers at PNNL pointe...
