Earth Day Teach-In: How the Power Grid Works
Challenges in Integrating More Renewable Energy & Solutions
Presented by:
Prof. Johanna Mathieu (organizer), Electrical & Computer Engineering
Ian Hiskens, Vennema Professor of Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering
Prof. Michael Craig, Energy Systems
Electric power grids are facing a number of new challenges due to the integration of nontraditional sources of electricity including wind and solar power, which produce power intermittently instead of on-demand like traditional sources. This teach-in will cover the basics of how electric power grids work and the challenges in integrating renewable energy sources. We will also discuss a variety of proposed solutions to enable very high penetrations of renewable energy.
