Underground Water Could be the Solution to Green Heating and Cooling
About 12% of the total global energy demand comes from heating and cooling homes and businesses. A new study suggests that using underground water to maintain comfortable temperatures could reduce consumption of natural gas and electricity in this sector by 40% in the U.S. The approach, called aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES), could also help prevent blackouts caused by high power demand during extreme weather events.
Johns Hopkins Expert: National Cybersecurity Strategy Neglects Public Awareness
Johns Hopkins University information security expert Anton Dahbura is available to discuss the Biden administration’s newly released national cybersecurity strategy.
GW Experts on Energy Grid Resiliency After Texas Ice Storm
Thousands of people across the state of Texas were still without power early Friday after an ice storm hit the state and parts of the U.S. South this week. Local officials are attributing the outages to frozen equipment and ice-burdened…
New Public-Private Partnership to Upgrade Tool That Estimates Costs of Power Interruptions
Berkeley Lab has initiated a national public-private partnership to update and upgrade the Interruption Cost Estimate (ICE) Calculator – a publicly available, online tool – which estimates the economic consequences of power interruptions.
To Cool Tomorrow’s Buildings, Power Sector Must Grow
New study projects electricity demand tied to cooling U.S. buildings will grow as peak temperatures rise, alongside the need for an expanded power sector.
New tool at Sandia brings some West Texas wind to the Duke City — virtually
Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have a new tool that allows them to study wind power and see whether it can be efficiently used to provide power to people living in remote and rural places or even off the grid, through distributed energy.
Report: U.S. trails other countries in building macro grids for moving, sharing electricity
Countries around the world are way ahead of the United States in building “macro grids” capable of moving electricity across grids or regions, according to a new report by an Iowa State engineer and a former doctoral student. The report was sponsored and released by Americans for a Clean Energy Grid.
