FERC''s Landmark Transmission Order: Takeaways for Clean Energy
On May 13, 2024, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) issued Order No. 1920, its long-awaited Final Rule relating to long-term regional planning and regional cost allocation. This article summarizes key provisions of Order No. 1920, and also discusses key takeaways from Order No. 1920 for those developing, owning, and investing in clean energy
Building a Better Grid: Addressing Climate
Power outages from extreme weather have doubled over the past two decades across the country, highlighting our aging grid and infrastructure. Vulnerable communities have disproportionally suffered during these events, often unable to evacuate from natural disasters or maintain expensive on-site generating equipment during outages.
Recovery strategy of distribution network based on dynamic
The frequent occurrence of various extreme weather has a great influence on the normal and stable operation of the distribution network. In order to minimise the large-scale power loss of the distribution network caused by extreme weather, considering that most of the practical disasters are concurrent with various weather types, and each disaster is independent of each
