How do you measure grid stability as we shift to renewables? Solar/wind lack the natural inertia of traditional power plants.

Reactive Technologies uses sonar-like pulses to measure live grid inertia directly, revealing risks missed by models. Backed by €19m from the EIB, they are expanding across the EU.

Hitachi to Build $528-million Transformer Manufacturing Plant in America

Hitachi Energy Ltd. – a global leader in energy technology and electrification – announced yesterday that it will invest almost $530 million to construct a transformer manufacturing plant in the state of Mississippi in the United States, according to a news article by Jiji Press. The investment is to help meet the rising power demand as the use artificial intelligence (AI) keeps on rising.

Hitachi Energy Ltd. is the energy arm of the Hitachi Group with over a century of innovation, and a long list completed projects that helped people for their access to dependable energy.

To put things in perspective, posted below is the entire news article of Jiji Press. Some parts in boldface…

Hitachi Energy Ltd. said Wednesday that it will invest 528 million dollars to build a transformer manufacturing plant in Mississippi to meet surging U.S. power demand amid wider use of artificial intelligence.

The Swiss unit of Hitachi Ltd. expects the plant to more than double its production capacity compared with an existing transformer plant in Mississippi. Construction of the new plant will begin later this year, with production scheduled to start in 2029.

The new plant will be “the cornerstone” of Hitachi Energy’s 1.5-billion-dollar U.S. investment plan, the company said.

In September last year, Hitachi Energy said it would invest 1 billion dollars in the United States. It later expanded the plan as Japan pledged to make 550 billion dollars in investment and loans to the United States as part of a bilateral trade agreement.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you consider this new investment by Hitachi a crucial one in relation to the rising demand for power in the United States? Are you hoping that the bilateral trade agreement between the United States and Japan will create economic and energy breakthroughs for Americans in the near future?

LA Times: The surprising reason California survived record summer heat without blackouts

"...In fact, the state has not issued a Flex Alert since 2022, and it has not implemented rotating outages since 2020.

Over the last few years, California has quietly but dramatically increased the resiliency of its electrical grid through a significant expansion in battery energy storage.

These batteries hold onto solar energy captured during the day, so it can be sent to the grid as demand peaks in the evening and morning, when most people are at home running air conditioners and other appliances. ..."

(paywall, but gist of it is in the paragraph above).

A coal plant does more than generate electricity. Its enormous spinning machinery also helps keep the grid stable. Renewable energy does not automatically replace this hidden function.

Grid-forming inverters could provide an answer. They use power electronics and control software to help batteries support voltage, resist sudden frequency changes and restart parts of a network after an outage.
