Electric Grid Reliability | Energy Switch Season 4, Episode 9

Описание: Everything in the modern world relies on the electric grid. To keep the grid reliable, system operators order electricity from dispatchable generation, like coal, gas, hydro and nuclear, to balance intermittent generation, like wind and solar. Together, these must meet our enormous electricity demand, which varies by the second. It’s a hugely complicated task, and it's facing real challenges.

This episode, Dr. Scott Tinker is joined by:
Mark Christie, member of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
Alison Silverstein, Independent Consultant for the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy

Originally aired 4/9/2024 on PBS.
