Using energy technology to balance the grid

Power grids across the world are under huge strain, as communities and businesses struggle to keep up with costs and the unreliability of an aging infrastructure. We’re seeing it now in the UK as the National Grid warns of planned blackouts throughout the country. While in the US, electricity companies prepare for the winter with an unreliable grid. But how can energy users help restore balance and maintain the grid without breaking the bank? On this episode of The Interchange Recharged, we are joined by the Senior Vice President of GridBeyond, Wayne Muncaster. Companies are always looking for new technologies that will keep their energy costs low, while ensuring they have power when they need it. GridBeyond is doing just that. A leader in intelligent energy technology, they are focused on providing industrial customers with real-time solutions to manage every aspect of the energy transition including resiliency and integration of battery storage. Listen as we discuss the challenges that arise from an aging grid, the uncertainty around energy security and look at how companies can transform energy into opportunity.Remember to subscribe so you don’t miss a single show and let us know your thoughts and comments.   The Interchange podcast is brought to you by Schneider Electric.   Are you looking for more energy control but worry about the upfront costs of a microgrid and renewables? Schneider Electric have you covered.
