Development of the IoT and MicroGrids Fuel each others Expansion
Microgrids have grown to over 1.2 gigawatts (GW) in capacity, with future projections reaching 20GW by 2020 and 100GW by 2030, that is according to Andres Carvallo, CEO of CMG, a consultancy that advises on smart grids and other infrastructure. Carvallo told attendees at the Smart Cities Week 2016 conference in Washington, D.C. last week […]
Smart Buildings Can Be ‘The Nodes’ Of The Smart Grid
“As nodes of the smart grid, smart buildings will become increasingly active participants in the energy eco-system, moving beyond simply being served by the Smart Grid, they can also become an integral part of it”, this is just one of the findings from our recent reports: The Market for Building Performance Software 2016 to 2020 […]
Microgrid Growth Potential Stimulates the Energy Storage Industry
Projections suggest that microgrids are set for exceptional growth in the coming years, alerting the related energy storage and renewable energy industries. However, questions still hang over microgrids potential to out value conventional grids in major markets. Renewable energy and energy storage technologies are becoming essential components of microgrids. Traditionally when the grid goes down, […]
White Paper: MicroGrids Contribution to the Smart Grid
It is now becoming clear that the fundamental architecture of today’s electricity grid, based on the idea of a top down radial transmission system with unidirectional energy flows from large centralized power plants, is not the most appropriate to meet the needs of the low carbon economy. Micro-generation and micro-grids need to be incorporated into […]
World Forum to Examine Latest Microgrid Advances and Opportunities
Interest in microgrids as a strategy for ensuring energy security and reliability is growing worldwide, especially in the wake of events such as Hurricane Sandy. Military installations, hospitals, data centers and remote off-grid regions that must have dependable power – no matter what – are increasingly turning to the microgrid paradigm. This is helping to […]
