Laws in California, New York and Illinois now require owners of certain sized new buildings to “commission,” or survey their energy use. Are these a bitter pill for building owners or do they yield important benefits? Energy Efficiency Markets interviews Jerry Schmits, director of business development with KLH Engineers, Energy solutions group, about some unexpected benefits that arise from commissioning.
Nash Whitney, director of sales at Generac Power Solutions, explores how distributed generation and microgrids can provide grid flexibility, as evidenced during Winter Storm Uri in ERCOT.
Distributed generation is the future of the electric grid. The term, distributed generation, generally means it is distributed across the grid, rather than in centralized power plants. Why is this a good thing? Get the paper from Generac that is intended to focus on the method and rationale for why distributed generation is important, efficient and economical for the safe and reliable operation of an electric grid, and what technologies are best positioned to support it.
