Spanish energy giant Iberdrola has tested quantum computing for optimizing the placement of large-scale batteries into the grid for cost, voltage control, and reliability. Accurately modeling ...

Iron-sodium batteries have quietly crossed a threshold that grid planners have been waiting on for years: a full-scale system has cleared factory testing and is now considered ready to move from the ...

Grid operations require a constant balance between demand and supply to maintain stable and desired frequency and voltage levels. Large and continued frequency deviations in the system could damage ...

Grid-scale energy storage has the potential to revolutionize the electric grid by making it more adaptable and capable of accommodating intermittent and variable renewable energy sources. In addition, ...

Energy storage for the electrical grid is about to hit the big time. By the reckoning of the International Energy Agency (iea), a forecaster, grid-scale storage is now the fastest-growing of all the ...

Texas has always charted its own course, especially when it comes to energy. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), which manages about 90% of the state's electric load, operates ...

Global grid-connected battery energy storage system (BESS) installations have reached 156 GWh through October 2025, up 38% year-on-year compared with the same period in 2024, according to the latest ...

Le Xie, Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), ...

This story originally appeared on Vox and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. The tricky thing about generating electricity is that for the most part, you pretty much have to use it or lose it.

Energy risks are growing across the United States and Canada, including several areas in jeopardy of energy supply shortfalls amid extreme weather patterns. This is a key warning in the North American ...
