One of the cornerstones of modern power infrastructure is the ability to handle peak power demands. For a long time, fossil fuel peaking plants, running primarily on diesel or natural gas, have been the go-to solutions for this issue. However, their environmental footprint, mainly in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, Read more
In 2016, South Australia faced widespread blackouts following a series of severe storms (Baum & McGreevy, 2021). While some critics blamed renewable energy for the blackouts, a formal review indicated that extensive storm damage to infrastructure and overly sensitive power system protection mechanisms were the actual culprits (Harmsen, 2017). Instead Read more
