The question of smart grid in Israel is not if but when and how, and the country should start with a trial and determining an adequate incentive to implement the smart grid technology, a new paper from the Israeli Smart Energy Association (ISEA) recommends. The ‘Roadmap for Smart Grid Implementation in Israel’ is aimed to analyze the smart grid in an objective manner from the point of view of the national economy. The focus is on an enhanced smart meter deployment, including the technology, engineering, regulation, legal, marketing and economic aspects, and the role of the local industry. According to the paper, Israel is an "interesting case".

On the one hand, the Israel Electric Company (IEC) has installed advanced control and supervision systems in the transmission and distribution segments. However, on the other hand, Israel is lagging behind in all elements related to the end user premises. Recommendations are: Access the Roadmap for Smart Grid Implementation in Israel HERE.

Microgrids are poised to grow as large utilities see a growth vehicle | Utility Dive. Editor's note: This article is part of a spotlight series focused on microgrids. To see all the articles in the series, check out the spotlight page. Microgrids by definition are small, but they are attracting the attention and capital of large utilities. In June, Southern Co. bolstered its $425 million acquisition of PowerSecure International by forming a strategic alliance with Advanced Microgrid Solutions to jointly develop and deploy behind-the-meter distributed energy resources across the United States.

That move was preceded by Southern’s October partnership with Bloom Energy for 50 MW of distributed fuel cells. Not so long ago, microgrids were seen as a threat to utilities, a third-party encroachment that could eat away at their traditional business model. A Navigant Research report estimated microgrids could become a $40 billion-a-year global business by 2020, siphoning about 6 GW of business away from utilities. Flatline demand In-and-out of the footprint. What you need to know about microgrids | Utility Dive. An article from Published Aug. 29, 2017 Microgrids are an old concept, but recently they've garnered renewed interest within the power sector. For years, utilities have invested in centralized plants, building miles and miles of transmission lines to ship power where it needs to go. But lately, that has changed. An aging grid and recent severe storms have highlighted the need for resiliency.

But finding the right design and financing is no easy task. We explore these issues and more in this spotlight on microgrids: Microgrids are poised to grow as large utilities see a growth vehicleThese facilities could be going mainstream as big utilities ramp up C&I; services. DOE identifies possible microgrid opportunities in Puerto Rico | Utility Dive. Dive Brief: The U.S. Department of Energy has identified 200 locations for potential microgrids on Puerto Rico that could help the island's power grid become more resilient, including 11 MW of capacity that could be used to power critical infrastructure such as water treatment plants and hospitals.A DOE blog post by Bruce Walker, assistant secretary for the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, also revealed details about the damage and recovery efforts, including that 18 substations were flooded in the storm and three could not be brought back online due to severe damage.In the two months since Hurricane Maria battered the island, about 58% of its generation has been brought back online and the recovery efforts have been overshadowed by a controversial restoration contract island officials signed with Montana-based Whitefish Energy.

Dive Insight: In a blog post last week, DOE's Walker said he has spent more than two weeks in Puerto Rico and the U.S. What you need to know about microgrids | Utility Dive.

When President Donald Trump announced the U.S. would withdraw from the Paris climate accord, he said he represented "Pittsburgh, not Paris. " Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto disagreed. Usually, power grids rely on a far-flung network. A pilot site for microgrids is at the Pitt Ohio trucking company in nearby Harmar, Pa. "We're anticipating about a seven to eight-year return on investment," said Maug. Gregory Reed, head of the energy program at the University of Pittsburgh's engineering school, designed the grid.

By: Dr Gareth Evans - Updated: 29 Sep 2015| *Discuss The world has become an increasingly ‘smart’ place, with in-built intelligence and enhanced functionality now coming as standard features in everything from bombs to phones – and now it seems the race is on to smarten up the grid too, and change the way we get our electricity forever.

It promises to bring something for everyone – big energy savings for consumers, more efficient use of existing capacity, a reduced risk of power outages, better integration for renewables and an incentive for small scale domestic generation. So what is a Smart Grid – and just how ‘smart’ is it? Digital enables rapid response to demand Like just about everything else these days, at its heart, it’s digital.

Putting communications technology at the core of the electricity supply means that unlike a traditional grid system, when changing consumer demand is only registered after it has happened, with the Smart Grid, those changes are noticed as they happen.

The Grid Edge Awards: Building the 21st-Century Energy System | Greentech Media. 1Energy’s ambitions extend beyond batteries as well, with the October launch of its Distributed Energy Resource Optimizer, or DERO, platform. The proving points for this application of its underlying software are coming through its work with original utility partner Snohomish PUD, as well as in Austin Energy’s solar-storage integration work under its $4.3 million SHINES grant from the Department of Energy’s SunShot program. AutoGrid Systems Managing the complexities of the grid edge requires managing an immense amount of data, coming in a multiplicity of formats and time signatures, from a wide variety of distributed energy resources. AutoGrid Systems has built its business on analyzing and making sense of this data, through its underlying cloud-based unstructured data analytics and management engine, dubbed its Energy Data Platform, and applications developed in-house and with a long list of energy industry partners.
