Grid stability and system strength have become major issues around the world. This is driven by the seismic shift from traditional power generation to renewables that has occurred over the past decade. Climate change is another contributing factor to more frequent and intense storms, leaving the grid more vulnerable than ever. The burning question that every grid company is wrestling with right now is how to effectively cut costs, avoid those dreaded peak demand periods and blackouts, and ultimately extend the lifespan of their grid infrastructure. With the growing complexity of modern grids and the increasing push for renewable energy, finding the right balance between stability, availability, efficiency, and sustainability is key. Companies are looking for innovative solutions that not only improve grid reliability but also help them stay competitive by managing operational expenses and investing in long-term infrastructure health. Raoul Fernandes, Senior Project Manager shares insight on how companies can prevent challenges related to grid instability and how the supercapacitor system SkelGrid 2.0 can balance the highly stressed grid and secure uninterrupted energy supply.
