Clean, Efficient and Resilient Energy Systems
Technology cost reductions are leading to rapid growth
in variable renewable sources of generation, requiring
the electrical grid to be structured and operated differ-
ently to ensure a reliable supply. With increased capacity
of solar, wind, energy storage, combined heat and power
(CHP) and other distributed energy resources, there is
an opportunity to enhance resiliency in critical areas.
Deployment of more distributed generation resources
and the development of new technologies, such as
microgrids and energy storage, is growing to more
efficiently match supply and demand and to augment
renewables with other generation resources.
Our power sector clients are also investing in improved
physical and cybersecurity programs intended to assure
better system performance during extreme weather and
other catastrophic events. System hardening initiatives
- particularly in areas hard hit by severe weather - and
more stringent reliability standards, are driving
distribution system redesign. Severe weather events
also generate a greater need for TRC storm damage
assessment teams who provide distribution and
engineering support to our utility clients. These
teams mobilize to assess damage, develop power
restoration plans, manage construction crews, clean
up hazardous chemicals (e.g., PCBs from transformers
and substations) and provide other support for
restoration efforts.
In fiscal year 2018 TRC increased revenue from
clean energy services, including renewable
energy, energy efficiency and energy storage
by 81% and supported the development of
7,000 MW of wind and solar projects
In one year, our Energy Efficiency group managed projects that saved 3 billion kilowatt-hours. That’s equivalent to…
