This Brattle Group study (https://www.brattle.com/insights-events/publications/grid-enhancing-technologies-shown-to-double-regional-renewable-energy-capacity-according-to-study-by-brattle-consultants/) found that in Kansas and Oklahoma Grid Enhancing Technologies [GETs] could double renewable energy generation on the grid, paying for themselves in just six months.

Rocky Mountain Institute describes Grid Enhancing Technologies (GETs) (https://rmi.org/ferc-could-slash-inflation-and-double-renewables-grid-upgrades/) as

"Dynamic Line Ratings

Adjusting the carrying capacity of transmission lines based on real-time measurement of ambient conditions

Transit analogy: real-time adjusted speed limits "Advanced Power Flow Controls

Hardware solutions that push power away from lines with capacity constraints and pull power to lines with spare capacity

Transit analogy: railroad switching stations that direct trains to free tracks "Topology Optimization

Software solutions that automatically route power flows around congested areas

Transit analogy: re-uniting drivers around traffic"

As Pogo said, “We are surrounded by insurmountable opportunities;”

but then

Pogo also said, “We have met the enemy and he is us.”
