The combination of co-located wind and solar allows the project to achieve an overall higher capacity factor.
San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) announced that four microgrids equipped with energy storage will be added to the San Diego region to help the state meet high energy demand, particularly on hot summer days and in the peak evening hours after solar power dissipates.
Microgrids can operate independent of, or parallel to, the larger regional grid. These four will be installed at critical community facilities so that they can remain powered during unexpected outages.
A new rule from the California Public Utilities Commission is expected to simplify the interconnection process for distributed energy resources (DERs) like solar and battery storage systems.
Most commentators, including MISO states, want FERC to reject the Midcontinent ISO (MISO) proposal to implement FERC Order 2222— and allow distributed energy resources to p
