Will Hawaiian Electric file for bankruptcy? Who will help Maui to rebuild the electrical infrastructure? Will government subsidize that and will they give contracts to multiple companies or just one? Those questions I have today, while many people struggle to survive on the island.
]]>Solar + Energy Storage vs Microgrid
Microgrid contains a controller that allows it to disconnect or “island” from the grid during a power outage and use its on-site power to serve its host. When the power outage ends, it can reconnect to the grid and interact with it to produce the cleanest, cheapest, and most efficient mix of energy from available resources.
VPP vs Microgrid
Microgrid is itself a small grid and a VPP is not
Community solar vs Microgrid
The subscribers don’t receive solar energy directly from the plant — there isn’t a physical connection. Instead, they receive solar credits. It’s a good approach for people who want to support clean energy but can’t install solar panels on their roofs, perhaps because they lack the space or are renters.
Community solar project can be part of a community microgrid
Most importantly, a microgrid provides power to its host when the grid is down, while a community solar project does not.
DERMS (Distributed energy resources management system) vs Microgrid
DERMS is a software platform, often used by utilities, to see and organize the many DERs now connecting to the grid. A microgrid, meanwhile, manages its own internal DERs. DERMS do not island from the grid or provide power to hosts during a power outage — something microgrids can do

After reading a recent article about scientists pulling the energy out of nothing I wanted to throw my own prediction based on my small experience studying physics in university, educating myself later in life + what I believed in from 7th grade.
https://www.quantamagazine.org/physicists-use-quantum-mechanics-to-pull-energy-out-of-nothing-20230222/
My prediction would be - that energy is everywhere and we just need to find new extraction ways.
It’s in a space, in a black hole, and in a vacuum. I’m sure we will find that along our educational cycle especially by using new methods with AI similar to protein designs by using AI. Similar methods like CRISPR in biotech. I think if we find a way how to use AI + quantum physics and AI + physics experiments - we can discover so much more methods and something in it.
From 7th grade, by today I still think about new ways to extract energy from something, including the electromagnetic field of the earth. These new ways humans can discover will be really helpful in the space exploration and colonization of new planets.
-------
I also asked AI: Is it possible to extract usable energy out of the black hole, quantum channel, or electromagnetic field of earth?
Here is what ChatGPT responded:
"Extracting usable energy from a black hole, a quantum channel, or the electromagnetic field of the Earth is not currently possible with our current technology and understanding of physics.
Black holes are extremely dense objects with a powerful gravitational pull that not even light can escape. While black holes do release energy in the form of radiation through a process known as Hawking radiation, this energy is not currently practical to harness as it is spread out over an incredibly vast area and is very difficult to detect.
Quantum channels are a fundamental part of quantum mechanics and are used in quantum computing and communication. While quantum mechanics allows for the transfer of information through quantum channels, it is not yet clear if it is possible to extract usable energy from them.
The electromagnetic field of the Earth is a powerful force that is responsible for many natural phenomena, such as lightning and the aurora borealis. While it is possible to generate electricity from the Earth's magnetic field using a device called a magnetohydrodynamic generator, the technology is not currently practical on a large scale and is still being researched.
In summary, while there are theoretical possibilities for extracting energy from black holes, quantum channels, and electromagnetic fields, practical applications are currently beyond our technological capabilities."
-------
This particular discovery "teleports" energy via a quantum channel not the discovery of energy in it.
We don’t know much about what’s there today.
Don't tell anyone.

Anatoly Corp, Founder & CEO of ChargeLink , 1 January, 2023
San Francisco, Calif. (Dec. 7, 2022) — Clean energy hardware company ChargeLink announced a new business direction — Storage, and a new product — a 6.5 kWh Power Module.
The Power Module is a 6.5 kWh smart energy storage for backup protection, stabilization, and independence designed to be easily installed and integrated into a variety of electrical grids, houses, and EV charging systems. With easy installation, it provides a convenient and efficient way to manage energy and charge EVs.
ChargeLink’s storage expansion will accelerate research and development, bring new cutting-edge hardware and software systems to the market and comply with new government incentives while scaling its offerings in current EV charging business lines with utilities, real-estate developers, property owners, and partners.
The Electric Vehicle market is growing exponentially. More than 30 new EV models will be on the road by 2030. California, Massachusetts, and many other states will ban sales of new combustion engine vehicles by 2035. It all means only one thing — the demand for the EV Charging business is growing.
The problem the US faces today is the poor electrical grid, power outages, and high energy prices. Gas, coal, and electricity prices have, in recent weeks, risen to their highest levels in decades. The average American experienced over 8 hours of power outages in 2020. Many real-estate developers and utilities can’t install more charging solutions because simply — there is no good infrastructure to supply the demand.
President Biden announced an infrastructure bill as part of his administration’s efforts to improve the country’s infrastructure.
With Power Module, businesses can install more charging stations, and households can collect clean solar energy into storage and back up their houses during a blackout.
Reduce your reliance on the grid by storing energy in a Power Module. You can use it as an addition to the grid or a separate system to have a stable and high-quality power supply.
It stores your solar energy for backup protection, which gives you power when the grid goes down. The smart system detects outages and automatically recharges
Stabilizes voltage in a wide range from 0 to 280 V via double conversion mode. Which means it improves power grid load and power grid loss.
An intelligent system identifies the most power use periods and creates a schedule to reduce your energy bill. Customize settings for personalized savings in the app.
With the ChargeLink app, you can monitor your energy in real-time. Set your preferences to optimize energy independence, outage protection, or savings.
ChargeLink’s unique technology allows the batteries to integrate, you can scale your projects up to 104 kWh. (16 Power Modules)
The Power Module weighs only 286 pounds (130 kg) and can be mounted on a wall or brought to the construction location instead of a diesel generator.

To continue accelerating the world to a sustainable future, ChargeLink is building software-defined and hardware-enabled capabilities that solve grid problems with clean technologies today. Storage will enable utilities and households to operate the grid at a greater scale across many energy directions.
Emerging technologies — like solar, batteries, and EV chargers— are forcing industries to shift to a sustainable future.
“We have many clients who would love to install charging stations quickly and get money from the government, but unfortunately, it takes 6 or more months until it can happen; with batteries, we can install charging stations in a matter of days. The battery will also allow us to install more chargers at one location. From the consumer standpoint, it’s a great technology to store energy and stay independent. The battery can be used as a generator, as backup power for your house, or as a medium-scale storage solution for energy distribution partners since you can combine up to 16 Power Modules. I’m excited about what’s coming in 2023. “ — Anatoly Corp, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of ChargeLink.
The future of ChargeLink looks bright as the company continues to expand its line of batteries and EV chargers. The company has partnered with businesses and organizations across the country to install its chargers in convenient locations. This will make it easier for EV owners to find a place to recharge and will help to reduce range anxiety.
With its innovative products and commitment to sustainability, the company is well-positioned to become a leader in the EV industry. ChargeLink is looking to launch pilot projects and expand its products to megapacks and grid technologies in the near future.
