Energy Storage News – On Thursday, the Obama Administration announced a number of initiatives that plan to help the US transition to a smart, more energy efficient, 21st century power grid.
The White House is proposing a number of new executive actions and 33 state and private sector commitments are proposed to “result in at least 1.3 gigawatts of additional storage procurement or deployment in the next five years.”
A “smart grid,” according to the Office of Electricity Delivery & Energy Reliability, is a system that uses computer-based remote control and communication technologies to help utility workers to monitor and gather data. It’s used in other industries, but has only recently been introduced in things such as power plants and wind farms.
