The U.S= . Department of Energy=E2=80=99s Office of Geothermal (OG) has announced se= lections for its GRID initiative. The eight selected projects will rece= ive up to a total of $9.5 million to quantify how geothermal power supports= the U.S. electric grid, using advanced modeling and analysis tools.

Geother= mal electricity generation provides significant grid benefits, including fi= rm and flexible capacity and essential ancillary services such as load-bala= ncing. Funding through GRID will help quantify the economic value of these = benefits, supporting more accurate pricing of geothermal power and encourag= ing investment in geothermal development.

Project= s will also assess current geothermal representation and identify best prac= tices to incorporate geothermal power in regional utility planning processe= s, model system integration impacts of geothermal power to specific regions= of the U.S. grid, and apply metrics to evaluate the role of geothermal pow= er in the grid.

The sel= ected projects and their regional grid modeling locations are:

  • Electric Power Researc= h Institute, Inc. (Western U.S.)
  • Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (= California)
  • National Laboratory of the Rockies (Col= orado and New Mexico)
  • Ohio State University (PJM Region)
  • Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (= Pacific Northwest)
  • Princeton University (Western U.S.)
  • University of Texas at Austin (Texas)
  • Southern Methodist= University (Texas)
