Connecting physics and digits: Power Platforms on the rise.
An ICT layer is emerging on top of physical grids, transforming the energy system into a cyber-physical system. How to ensure digitalisation delivers all its potential value to European citizens? And how to make sure it leads to the best possible TSO-DSO interaction?
Webinar: Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) Energy Services
Along with rapid EV uptake will come significant increase in electricity demand and electric power impact on the grid as public, private, and fast-charging infrastructure is developed. The ability to control and plan for the coming EV revolution will be crucial to ensuring the security of supply of global electric grids while weaning the transportation sector off of fossil fuels.
ICSG Istanbul 2019
The International Smart Grids and Cities Congress and Fair (on April 25-26, 2019), which assembled the stakeholders of the energy industry, to which nearly 350 global corporations will attend as booth exhibitors, was attended by over 10 thousand industry representatives, experts and academicians from more than 50 countries.
The Smart Grid Discourse Arena: A Global Social Network Analysis
For shaping and adapting policy agendas and institutional change towards Smart Grids, it is of utmost importance to understand how discourses develop in the fast-changing reality of energy transition. This policy brief provides evidence about the smart grid related topics, which create most attention by actor groups and the public.
The analysis is based on systematically observed global communication at the online social media platform, Twitter with with a dataset of more than 70 thousand messages between December 2015 and April 2018, which all include the hashtag #smartgrid and/or #smartgrids.

Knowledge Exchange on Experimental Sandboxes to Enable Smart Grid Deployment
During the Stockholm Smart Grid Week first week in April 2019, a knowledge exchange event on experimental (regulatory) sandboxes to enable smart grid deployment was arranged by the International Smart Grid Action Network (ISGAN) in partnership with International Confederation of Energy Regulators (ICER). Local organizers included the Swedish Smart Grid Forum and Swedish Energy Agency.
The Global Smart Grid Federation (GSEF) met with ISGAN members
„During the ExCo-Meeting in Sweden, GSGF (Global Smart Grid Federation) and ISGAN members met in order to strengthen future collaboration, in particular in Asia-Pacific. Aiming at membership expansion, joint activities like knowledge sharing workshops and Smart Grids events have been identified. The next common event will be the Award Ceremony as part of the CEM10 Mission Innovation – ISGAN side event taking place in Vancouver on May, 29.”
The future of electricity markets in a low carbon economy
The event focused on international experiences and lessons learned, with emphasis on the importance of market design in relation to the following key aspects of power systems transformation and smart grid development;
