How A California Utility Used A Battery To Jumpstart A Power Plant

Maggie Sieger
December 07, 2017
Music fans traveling northwest on highway 86 toward the Coachella music festival next year might not give the rolling hills of California's Imperial Valley more than a passing glance. But energy insiders know it as the site of a major technological feat that could herald a new era in power-grid resiliency.
In May, the Imperial Irrigation District (IID) performed the first “black start” of a power plant in North America. They did it by starting and revving up the El Centro power station to full power with only a GE battery energy storage system.

The Power Couple: This Battery And Jet Engine Hybrid Will Help California Grab More Renewables

Tomas Kellner
April 17, 2017
On March 23, at exactly 11:19 in the morning, the combined output of California’s copious solar panels and wind farms briefly supplied 49.2 percent of the state’s power demand for the first time. The record was a good omen for America’s most populous state, which is striving to use renewables for half of its electricity consumption by 2030.

This Idea Holds Water: A Rural Montana Town Is About To Make A Splash In Renewable Energy

Tomas Kellner
April 05, 2017
Born Mary Eager in 1926, the daughter of a physics professor blazed through her coursework, graduating in just three years at age 20 thanks to having taken college classes in high school and committing to a grueling year-round schedule. A strict family rule may also have helped. “Studying came first,” said Reynolds. “So no radio could be on if anyone was studying at home.” She was the second woman to graduate with a mechanical engineering degree at what was then Oklahoma A&M (now Oklahoma State University).
