A brief look at the monumental challenge of upgrading and building out a distribution system for clean electrical energy while demand surges globally.

Grid History

Net Zero & the Grid

Grid History

The concept of the electric grid is about a century old. We take a look at how they have evolved to their modern state.

Grid Operations

Net Zero & the Grid

Grid Operations

If supply and demand don't match almost instantaneously, frequency & voltage swings are prone to occur. These can cause brownouts, blackouts, equipment damage and worse if instability cascades through the system. Read how Grid Operators maintain balance and stability to ensure smooth service.

Grid Inertia

Net Zero & the Grid

Grid Inertia

Inertia is the force that has kept grid systems spinning at the correct frequency. Learn about why a decarbonized grid needs a new approach.
