Connecting renewables to the Grid

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Has @BubbaWallace apologized to all of those great NASCAR drivers & officials who came to his aid, stood by his side, & were willing to sacrifice everything for him, only to find out that the whole thing was just another HOAX? That & Flag decision has caused lowest ratings EVER!

[David P. Littell @DavidPLittell]

👇👏You don't need to be a transmission engineer to understand that a planned and coordinated offshore grid will maximize offshore capacity and optimize limited interconnection and injection points. Well designed, an offshore grid adds resilience to the ISO-NE, NYISO & PJM grids.

[Edward N. Krapels @ekrapels]

@danieldennett Any relation, Dan?

[Peter Shattuck @petershattuck]

The scale of transformation to run on #RenewableEnergy is significant, but technology and planning can get us there, as noted by @ekrapels.

[Edward N. Krapels @ekrapels]

Thank you Peter Behr for writing such a thoughtful review of the implications of global transmission developments for #OffshoreWind. @Anbaric continues to work towards a transmission program that will enable the US to build OSW at the scale needed to meet climate goals.

China's grid engineers, plotting a route for a massive new transmission line to feed Shanghai's insatiable electricity appetite, faced a historic barrier in their land — the Yangtze River. https://t.co/MUn3dkVQ3H

[David P. Littell @DavidPLittell]

This will be a critical FERC examination of whether there can be integrated offshore grids that will support the onshore grids, e.g. Project Neptune that connects PJM to NYISO, or many lines to offshore farms. Ocean floors and interconnections need not follow 100 year-old errors.

[Edward N. Krapels @ekrapels]

Good next step from FERC... how to integrate 30GW of offshore wind into the Northeast deserves careful review.

Indeed it did, Bruce. We fear the proposed solution may not enable #mystic to retire. @isonewengland dismissed many of the more robust proposals for reasons @Anbaric shows were erroneous. Shine a light on this process, please.

Really proud that Clarke is taking on the job. It’s not easy to try to innovate in this business. Clarke has the right combination of skills and temperament to finish the projects we’ve started together.

[Edward N. Krapels @ekrapels]

Thanks @EverettIndy for running this piece. The #MysticWindLink and its follow-on project the #BostonWindLink can replace the retiring Mystic Power Plant with a strong grid connection to #offshorewind.

[Edward N. Krapels @ekrapels]

Turns out folks in the greater Boston area want to get connected to #offshorewind ... @Anbaric has a plan... the #MysticWindLink is step 1.

[Edward N. Krapels @ekrapels]

Thanks Dan. Sounds great.

[Daniel Dennett @danieldennett]

This is the title of Haig’s book, which I don’t mention in my foreword!

[Edward N. Krapels @ekrapels]

This was an excellent survey of a looming issue. Thanks @TheBrattleGroup and @GE_Power and @CHAcompanies for showing how #OSW needs an #Oceangrid.

[Edward N. Krapels @ekrapels]

Should be interesting. Nobody does it better.

To help producers, consumers and traders of #oil prepare for the ups and downs of oil’s recovery from #COVID-19, ESAI Energy is hosting a webinar, entitled “Oil Markets in the Summer of COVID-19” on May 28. Reserve your seat at https://t.co/4LhaDCI98S

[Edward N. Krapels @ekrapels]

Great work by the Brattle team. For Anbaric, saying "plan 30-50GW of offshore transmission carefully" is an exercise in making the obvious plain. The Brattle study makes it even more obvious with good analysis.

[The Brattle Group @TheBrattleGroup]

A new study for @Anbaric details #onshore #electric grid cost savings of over $1B and substantially reduced #environmental impacts from adopting #transmission to harness #wind power off of New England’s coast. https://t.co/XgCUVQ5ZQj

[Edward N. Krapels @ekrapels]

A city is no place for a gas fired power plant if there are alternatives. In the case of Mystic, in Everett, @Anbaric has a proposal to replace it with offshore wind at https://t.co/URPRo39R64.

[Peter Shattuck @petershattuck]

Proud of my former colleagues @AcadiaCtr and partners raising the connections between air quality, COVID-19 and environmental justice. And proud to be working now @Anbaric on the Mystic Reliability Wind Link to help shutter a large power plant in Everett.
