Webinar: Augmented reality applications for smart grids
Upcoming webminar of the ISGAN Academy “Augmented reality applications for Smart Grids”, will take place on December 13th, 2017.
Phase-Sensitive Enabling of Household Engagement in Smart Grids
Today, flexibility in energy end-use, particularly by households, is not sufficiently stimulated in many countries. Hence system-level benefits such as reduced electricity bills, better integration of renewable electricity generation and lowering of grid costs, are not realized.
Knowledge Exchange Workshop in Bengaluru
ISGAN Knowledge Exchange on Distributed Generation, Microgrids, and Smart Metering in Bengaluru, India, on 13-15 November 2017. Organized by the International Smart Grid Action Network (ISGAN), in partnership with National Smart Grid Mission, Ministry of Power, Government of India.
ISGAN Public Workshop in Genk
Presentations and Summary of ISGAN public workshop on “Building the flexible power systems” held in Genk, Belgium
Asymmetric benefits of smart grids
The Discussion Paper focuses on an analysis of the distribution of costs and benefits primarily in relation to decentralized electricity consumption on the residential level. The aim is to discuss whether social imbalances are induced by shifting the burdens of financing the grid towards lower income classes. Such imbalances may be aggravated by the tendency to go off grid, thereby challenging current cost recovery schemes.
Collaboration to face the challenges of the future energy system
Poster on the challenges of decreasing the CO2 emission while securing stability, security of supply and quality of service.
Why We Do Not Know Much about the Social Dimension of Smart Grids Transition?
Dealing with smart grids transitions, three years of activity of Annex 7 make it evident that policy makers are having many important questions about the dynamics of institutional change which need new answers.
Single Marketplace for Flexibility
To use this flexibility in a coordinated way, an ever closer cooperation between System Operators will be required. Several approaches for the coordinated use of flexibility for system balancing and congestion management are imaginable.
Smart Grid Policy Messages for the Clean Energy Ministerial
The document was disseminated at the 8th Clean Energy Ministerial that took place in Beijing, China. It was developed by ISGAN Annex 4: Synthesis Insights for Decision Makers.
The Smart and Strong Grid: Technology, Policy, and Finance to Connect People with Reliable Clean Energy
In the developing world, demand is growing rapidly, driving the need for massive investments in grids to connect more and more people while delivering high levels of service.
