The future role of local energy ownership in the UK

February 7, 2019

In 2014, the government’s community energy strategy imagined that one million homes would be powered by community energy schemes by 2020. Four years later, that vision lies abandoned with only 67,000 homes benefiting. Since the scrapping of the strategy and the subsequent reduction in feed-in tariffs, community energy groups have struggled to make a reasonable business case. Consequently, in 2017, it is known that at least 66 community projects either stalled or failed.

How is artificial intelligence advancing battery energy storagefor renewable plants?

whitePaper | July 22, 2022

The energy demands of the 21st century are changing. Traditional energy generation methods that rely on finite resources like fossil fuels are becoming increasingly expensive. In addition, they pollute and destabilize the environment. With more of this awareness, consumers are demanding clean energy at lower prices and increasing capacity.

Rules for an Energy-Secure Global Green Hydrogen Economy

whitePaper | November 9, 2022

Hydrogen is not just another fuel. Hydrogen is expected to serve as a primary industrial fuel in the 21st century, just as coal drove the 19th century and oil drove the 20th century. Decarbonised hydrogen produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity (‘green’ hydrogen) or other low-carbon variants that sequester carbon emissions – could be a gamechanger in strengthening energy security and powering the energy transition.

The NYISO Interconnection Process

whitePaper | January 11, 2023

State and federal clean energy policies are driving an historic transition of the existing electric generating fleet in New York, including a dramatic increase in the development of clean energy projects. Mandates under the state’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) require 70% renewable energy by 2030 and an emissions-free electric system by 2040. The Inflation Reduction Act, signed into law by President Biden in August 2022, makes $370 billion available in tax credits and incentives to speed the country’s transition to clean energy technology – the most aggressive climate related action ever taken by Congress.

Positive Proof for Distributed Intelligence at the Grid Edge

whitePaper | October 14, 2022

The utility industry struggles to store and analyze the ocean of data recorded by state-of-the-art distribution devices. Performing some analytics locally—within the devices themselves—promises to unlock new operational value and cost effectiveness, and the first phases of testing needed to prove that theory are now complete. Laboratory investigations showed distributed intelligence (DI) applications far surpassed the capabilities of cloud-based analytics for three common use cases on the distribution grid; and field testing confirmed the results across thousands of customer meters, while also revealing other valuable, real-world applications for the data.
