New energies: filter feeder?

Harmonic distortions have several detrimental effects on electrical systems. Harmonic filters reduce the amount of total distortions in a system, providing power savings and reducing equipment degradation.

…almost all new energies and digital technologies inject harmonic distortion to the grid. This 17-page note argues for premiumization in power electronics, including around solar, and screens for who benefits?…

Renewables plus batteries: co-deployments over time?

…re-inflating levelized costs of solar by around 50-75%, but still possibly less costly than funding network upgrades. Our long-term forecasts for power grid capex assume that 0.15MW of grid-scale batteries…
