Smart Buildings & Cities Demand an Electric Power Revolution!
The adoption of smart buildings and cities continues to grow around the world to increase energy efficiency and human-centric benefits while reducing our negative impact on the environment. However, as smart technology continues to proliferate it has become clear that our current electrical system was not designed for this modern world. From IoT devices to […]

Building on the Edge: The Untapped Efficiency of Smart Grid Connection
Human activities have caused 1.0°C of global warming above pre-industrial levels and this is likely to reach 1.5°C between 2030 and 2052 if it continues to increase at the current rate, reads the highly-referenced IPCC climate report. Two industries have become central to addressing this existential crisis; the power sector that represents almost all of the […]

Conservative Forecasting is Hiding the Speed of the Energy Storage Revolution
Our power system is evolving. Too slow for some and too fast for others. The evolution is symbolized by renewable energy and the infrastructure necessary to manage its fluctuating electricity supply, but there is more to our power evolution than the grid. Smart buildings, smart cities, smart homes, electric vehicles, district heating, and a range […]

Undetected Hacks of IoT Devices May be Straining our Power System & Strangling our Economy
“We’ve all seen the headlines: A major cyber attack on the US electric grid could cause over $1 trillion in economic impact,” says Yotam Gutman, VP Marketing at SecuriThings. “Nevertheless. to date, there have been no recorded cyber attacks on power facilities that have caused a major physical catastrophe or long blackout,” he points out. […]

The Smart Grid May Need a Little Competition to Find its Sense of Urgency
We are experiencing huge growth in the adoption of rooftop solar panels plus energy storage as a means to gain independence from the antiquated, overpriced and largely fossil-fueled electricity grid. Energy independent homes and small communities linked by microgrids, appear to be leading us to a brighter energy future, and the charge is being made […]

The First Step “Towards Creating a Global Blockchain Powered Energy Trading Network”
“The future of our energy system is distributed. Made up of billions of endpoints interacting with each other — microgrids, renewable energy, smart buildings, appliances, sensors and energy management software. It is essential to create a secure system that can verify autonomous transactions in real-time across these nodes as market conditions change,” we said in […]

Hurricane Irma Set To Provide Stern Test For Florida’s Smart Grid
In the 12 years since the last category 5 hurricane in Florida there have been major advancements in smart power grid technology, these developments will be put to the test in the coming days as Hurricane Irma looms large over the southeastern state. The ‘sunshine state’ experienced two significant, yet smaller, hurricanes last year that […]
