I’m an electrical engineer who spent nearly 20 years designing and operating many parts of the Western Interconnect (the U.S. lower 48 has three main grids: Eastern Interconnect, Western Interconnect, and the Texas ERCOT. And while the “grid” is very complex, there are many automatic relays that help maintain stability (frequency and voltage). Bulk power operators bring generation on, off, or raise/lower power output to maintain stability, yet there are millions of devices that can shed load when frequency and/or voltage get out of spec. I also spent 15 years working at the national laboratory (DOE EERE NREL) and supported the development of standards and codes that are critical for integrating distributed energy resources (DER) to the various grids. It’s definitely an extremely complex system, the Grid, and it’s highly unlikely that batteries and EVs can stabilize a stressed out electrical grid of any size or location. Some in the Green New Deal community are actively pushing for the elimination of anything that burns, which is, in my humble opinion and many others, dangerous as we cannot rapidly raise the use of electricity as would be required if you were to eliminate gas furnaces, stoves, gas peaked power plants, and all things petroleum. People need to listen to those who build and operate electrical systems as they do know a thing or two about these topics. Well shoot, I have too many things to do rather than writing responses here. Cheers.
