Positive Proof for Distributed Intelligence at the Grid Edge

October 14, 2022

Positive Proof for Distributed Intelligence
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.

Decentralized Energy White Paper: Adaptive Local EnergyCommunities

whitePaper | October 7, 2022

The decarbonization targets and the development of renewable and low carbon technologies are changing the electricity systems in UK and worldwide. The sustainable implementation of this changes in the energy markets can be achieved only if the consumers/ prosumers are rightly incentivised. Furthermore, the integration of the system, transmission and distribution network operators in the overall local energy portfolio is crucial for the successful and practical operation of the smart local energy systems (SLES).

Offshore Wind Market Report: 2022 Edition

whitePaper | January 17, 2023

In the United States, commercial-scale offshore wind energy deployment is at an early stage with only 42 megawatts (MW) generating power; however, the domestic industry is poised for an exponential increase in new installations after the first large commercial projects advanced to the construction phase in 2021–2022. Over the past 20 years, offshore wind energy got a head start outside the United States with the help of coordinated European offshore wind energy incentives.

Renewable Energy Price Risk Management at the Energy Exchange

whitePaper | February 28, 2020

With subsidy schemes being gradually phased out across Europe, renewable energy assets are entering the world of merchant risk management and energy trading. Whilst PPAs are one tool to set a baseline for prices that can be relied upon by developers and banks, there remains a price risk when exposed to wholesale market movements. For several decades, energy trading has primarily been the territory of utilities, trading houses and banks. Now, renewable energy project developers and offtakers exposed to wholesale prices must learn how to employ the financial products available to manage the risk exposure to variable prices.
