Experts say New England’s transition to clean energy will require big changes. The region will need to build a lot more capacity for transporting power from wind, solar and other sources.

Governors' Wind Energy Coalition Dartmouth Study Finds Renewable Energy Upgrades Make Grid More Resilient Source: By Annie Ropeik, New Hampshire Public Radio • Posted: Wednesday, May 26, 2021 A Dartmouth study has modeled for the first time that renewable energy upgrades will make the nation’s power grid more resilient. Researchers modeled a grid with an influx of three innovations: distributed generation like rooftop solar, a kind of localized power system shortcut known as a meshed grid, and energy storage. The study is the first to find that these emissions-cuttin...
Can the power grid become both greener and tougher? Dartmouth analysis says yes This imagine was created in 2017 using the electric grid energy resources GIS data from S&P Global Platts. Dakota Thompson, Dartmouth College—Courtesy Published: 5/24/2021 4:40:12 PM On my roof are some solar panels. They’re good for me but the question is, are they good for the power grid? Some people say no, that they destabilize the system providing electricity throughout New England by ruining the finances of “baseline” plants and leaving us hanging at night. Some people say yes, that they improve the...

Researchers modeled a grid with an influx of three innovations: distributed generation like rooftop solar, a kind of localized power system shortcut known as a meshed grid, and energy storage. The study is the first to find that these emissions-cutting technologies will also make the power system more able to keep operating through disruptions. Dartmouth professor and co-author Amro Farid said those include extreme weather...
