Exciting news in the renewable energy sector! 🌿 Swiss startup Energy Vault is making significant strides in addressing the unpredictability of solar and wind power through gravity batteries. These innovative units in Shanghai, China, and Texas, USA, mark a crucial advancement in sustainable energy solutions. The concept behind gravity batteries is simple yet groundbreaking - utilizing heavy objects like concrete masses to store energy. By lifting these weights with power sources and releasing them when needed, the potential energy is transformed back into electricity. A game-changer for the renewable energy landscape! #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #EnergyInnovation

Principal Consultant, Strategic Communications & Stakeholder Engagement | Energy ⚡️, Transportation 🚇, and Healthcare 🏥
I believe that pumped storage is a highly underrated and underutilized energy storage solution that can help address grid balancing issues associated with variable renewable energy sources. The US should fully commit to developing and scaling pump storage facilities to support the clean energy transition.
Alaska has 1,800 suitable sites for pumped storage with a total capacity of 4 TWh: DOE labs

Check out our article on Douglas Public Utility District producing environmentally friendly hydropower and hydrogen from our July/August issue. Central Washington’s Douglas Public Utility District (PUD) operates the 840-megawatt (MW ) Wells Dam on the Columbia River, runs a fiber optic program, and has even started to generate hydrogen. In addition to benefiting its customers, the PUD also aims to benefit the environment with its significant hatchery and in-stream programs. In this interview, we speak with General Manager Gary Ivory about power production, fish programs, and how producing hydrogen can help make fuller use of Wells Dam’s renewable generation capacity. https://bit.ly/3y7JQ1x #HydroLeader #Hydropower #Hydro #DouglasPublicUtilityDistrict #PUD #ColumbiaRiver #Hydrogen #WellsDam #RenewableEnergy

#Hydropower #hybrids are a promising advancement in the ongoing #sustainabledevelopment of #renewableenergy and play a crucial role in reaching the Sustainable Development Goals.: Scaling up and sustaining high shares of #variablerenewableenergy (#VRE) call for facilities that not only generate electricity, but also provide energy services to increase #resilience and #reliability of #powersystems. This serves as a motivation to explore how #hydropower #hybrids can leverage hydropower’s unique capabilities to harness complementarities and operational synergies with #VRE and #storage, to provide energy services that enhance power system #flexibility. Advancing the #energytransition requires building #hydropowerhybrids capable of providing #energy services: #Hydropowerhybrids add to power system flexibility by harnessing the potential of individual technologies, and the synergies that emerge when combining technologies, to provide energy services capable of mastering energy control, boosting energy storage, and increasing energy generation: -#Energycontrol is mastered by utilizing technologies that can swiftly balance disturbances, originating from the plant itself or in the power system, each second and minute. -#Energystorage is boosted by capturing surplus energy with storage when demand is low or resource availability is high—balancing the hourly, daily, weekly, seasonal, and yearly energy supply and demand. -#Energygeneration is secured by harnessing complementarities and multiple renewable energy sources to secure the availability of energy and increase redundancy. #Hybridhydropower facilities on the same land and utilizing the same #grid connection point may bring additional benefits: -#Powertransmission costs are reduced as a hybrid hydropower with a single injection point requires lower transmission capacity, when the peak power output is less than the combined peak of the stand-alone plants or excess generation is shifted to storage. -#Land is used more effectively, reducing impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems, leaving more nature either untouched or available for other uses. -#Economies of scale are achieved through shared use of infrastructure, project preparation activities, and organizational resources across the project life cycle, including development, implementation, operation, and maintenance. Remuneration for energy services will improve hybrid hydropower projects’ bankability and scale up investments. #HydropowerHybridProjectswithSolarEnergyandWindPower https://lnkd.in/dZFHy4e2.

Thank you to all of our speakers who took part in our webinar, "A Roadmap for Better, Faster Hydropower Development in Europe," covering an in-depth analysis of the hydropower outlook in Europe. Insights shared included: 🔔 Electricity systems cannot be operated without varied reserve options. Hydropower digitalisation started in the 80s but in the last 20 years the energy mix has had a revolution, things are totally different now. 🔔 Plants are ageing faster given they are being operated in a different way to the way they were originally designed. This is why modernisation is crucial. 🔔 The difference in revenue you can make in a non-flexible vs flexible power plants has increased from 15% 5 or 6 years ago to 50% now, so flexibility is being rewarded. We are still missing capacity for longer term duration storage, to cover the 'dunkelflaute' where the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow. 🔔 In Europe hydro operators can now agree pricing based on cap and floor mechanisms. 🔔 The proposed new Cap and Floor scheme in the UK offers good opportunities for global investments in the UK energy market. 📣 For more events like these and to get involved with the clean energy transition with IHA visit: https://lnkd.in/eGMThfpj #WithHydropower Voith Hydro HYDROGRID Gruner Stucky Ltd Eurelectric Statkraft
