Energy Update
The Inflation Reduction Act is already leading to improvements to the solar energy supply chain in the U.S.

(Mon, 22 Aug 2022) This <em>Issues in Focus</em> article presents a series of cases that apply carbon fees on energy-related carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) emissions. We examine how economy-wide carbon fees influence total, sectoral, and fuel-specific energy-related CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, as well as fuel prices. We also examine how the effect of carbon fees varies under different assumptions on macroeconomic growth.
Research engineers have found that the energy output of multi-turbine wind farms can be increased by modeling the wind flow of the entire array of turbines and optimizing the control of individual units.
The output can be increased without the need for equipment upgrades, the researchers said.
In this bonus episode of Factor This!, we introduce you to the RENWABLE +Series from Renewable Energy World.
If you’ve seen Mel Gibson’s classic Apocalypto, you’ll know that the meat of the film focuses on daily politics, the hum-drum frictions that occur in South American village life, and the emerging brutality of an ever-growing society.

A transition to a future low-carbon electricity system will require much more transmission to connect new solar and wind generation to markets. That future can only be achieved efficiently and cost-effectively with more coordinated advanced planning and greater involvement from states, including energy policy agencies of state government that develop and implement state clean energy policies.

Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) is drawing criticism from renewable developers by bringing forward a proposal from Xcel Energy in Minnesota. The distribution factor (DFAX) proposal would lead to higher network upgrade costs for renewable developers with no certainty for firm transmission access.
The grid of the future will be one in part powered by solar, storage and vehicle batteries at the edge of the grid — be that behind the meter or in front of the meter on distribution lines. But how to interconnect those distributed energy resources (DER) quickly, safely, and reliably has been the bugaboo of utilities all over the world. No one wants a connected device to cause a disturbance in the grid and therefor interconnection today requires fairly lengthy studies.
