Lighting It Up: GE’s Battery Storage System Will Gird Bayou State’s Power Grid

Brett Nelson
March 10, 2020
When a power outage occurs and the lights go out, every minute counts. Some of these disruptions may be significant enough to cause a power station to shut down, or trip in industry parlance. In these situations, electric utilities can draw on other generating units to stabilize the grid.  But the issue is most units require grid power to start.  Should an entire grid lose power, or “de-energize,” due to a significant event (e.g.

Wind, Sun And Water: An Old Source Of Renewable Energy Finds Its Place In The Sun

July 26, 2019
The bulk of the electricity generated in the United States still comes from fossil fuels, but the times are changing. In April this year, the country generated more power from renewable sources than from coal for the first time ever. Amid the excitement over rocketing solar and wind power production, it is easy to forget the quiet, reliable stalwart in the renewables pack: hydropower.

Shades Of Green: Wind-Battery Hybrid System Debuts In Ireland

Brendan Coffey
November 26, 2018
In a remote corner of western Ireland known for producing jockeys, rebels and poets, an evolution in renewable energy is taking place. GE is putting the final touches on the world’s first commercial wind project with integrated power storage. This means that even when the breeze isn’t blowing, the project will be contributing power to the grid. The solution is an important step in adding more wind into the energy mix by stabilizing its power supply.

Johanna Wellington is standing next to what looks like a shipping container. Her safety goggles are the only clues that this container isn't quite what it seems. A look inside reveals a large array of batteries and sophisticated electronics. It's a prototype for the GE Reservoir, the most energy-dense storage solution ever conceived. This container's cargo is electricity.

Just Chilling: This British Company Found A Cool Way To Store Energy

Amy Kover
July 23, 2018
In an industrial town a few miles outside of Manchester, England, two steely gray tanks stand 55 feet high. While they might look like part of a newfangled factory — or perhaps a soaring tribute to one of Manchester’s beloved soccer teams — these hulking cylinders serve a different purpose altogether: keeping the British Isles green.

New Power Generation: Why America’s Largest Electric Utility Is Adding Renewables To Its Energy Mix

June 28, 2018
Electric power was still a luxury few could afford when American industrialist James Buchanan Duke and his partners decided to build a clever system of lakes and dams on the Catawba River, which runs through the Carolinas. Their first power station, which came online in 1904, used the river’s bottled-up energy to generate a meager 6,600 kilowatts.
