Although it\u2019s clear enough that energy transition is necessary and reasonable, and although we know that transition is\u00a0mainly happening on the grid\u00a0at first,\u00a0there is still much uncertainty about exactly where on the grid different strategies can be tried, how much they can accomplish, and what they\u2019ll cost, relative to the alternatives\u2026.not to mention how the rest of the grid will respond as different measures\u2014like storage, demand response, rooftop solar, controlled dispatch, and so on\u2014are implemented. What\u2019s needed to answer all these difficult questions? Better models, including serious math, by serious researchers.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, one of those researchers is willing and able to explain several years of her work in grid modeling at NREL and elsewhere. So tune in and put on your thinking caps, because this episode (Geek Rating 10!) is not for the faint of heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
