Podcast: Electric Perspectives Featuring Paul Domjan

EEI 2024 Highlights

Join the conversation: ENODA’s Paul Domjan, speaks to EEI’s Electric Perspective Podcast, live from EEI 2024.

Paul discusses the issues with the legacy grid and how ENODA is redefining grid technologies to enable the clean energy transition.

“The fundamental problem is that renewable energy produces bulk power, but it doesn't produce system stability.

The historic Tesla Westinghouse grid was based on the assumption that at the top of the network, you had a large spinning generator that could vary its output to match load, keeping frequency stable.

That system produced inertia that dissipated the distortion in the network and at the other end of the network, we would all live very synchronised lives, where our load behaviour was predictable. None of those assumptions hold any longer. “
