EnergyNet in Practice: Long Grid, Short Grids and Mobility-Based Energy Peering
Jonas Birgersson, Max Collins, Marc A. Weiss +10
Electrification is planned as a network problem: more demand, more upstream capacity, local resources waiting for reinforcement. We argue that a material part of that bill, in mone…
Quantifying EnergyNet performance: a simulation-based framework for decentralized energy networks
Max Collins, Jonas Birgersson, Marc A. Weiss +12
Power transmission and distribution infrastructure connects generation with consumers. Extreme weather, infrastructure failures, and geopolitical conflicts increasingly disrupt the…
EnergyNet Explained: Internetification of Energy Distribution
Jonas Birgersson, Marc A. Weiss, Jimmy Chen +6
In developing EnergyNet we have leveraged and are extending lessons from telecom's shift from a centralized, circuit-switched phone system to decentralized, packet-switched data ne…
Preventing an Extractive Green Hydrogen Industry: Risks and Benefits of Grid Expansion and Green Hydrogen in and for Kenya
Xi Xi, Boniface Kinyanjui, Daniel M. Kammen
This study evaluates the role of grid-connected hydrogen electrolyzers in advancing a cost-effective and in particular an equitable green hydrogen industry in Kenya to serve both d…
