It is undeniable that we live in times of an energy transition. More frequently, we see the rising popularity of both solar and wind in the news, performing above expectations in markets with deep penetration. On May 8th, 2022, the sun shone and the wind blew, allowing renewables to produce 103% of California’s electricity demand. We also saw how renewable energy provided 30 to 40% of the state's needed power as temperatures soared into the triple digits last summer in Texas. The reality is that how we design and operate our power grids has changed forever due to the presence of Renewables. Gone are the days when vertically integrated systems with one-way power flow were the norm. Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) are here to stay. Hence, all stakeholders involved in the energy sector have had to reshape how we think, talk, and, more importantly, how we design and operate our power grids and plants. Engineering is no exception to this group; therefore, the thought process of how engineering teams should perform and operate must evolve to meet the new industry and market needs.
