[…]

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 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 […]

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 […]

“If the eclipse of the sun is complete it will be dark forever. The demons of darkness will come down. They will eat men!,” reads the The Florentine Codex, an ethnographic study of 16th-century Aztecs in Mexico, which included their interpretation of solar eclipses. In the modern age we, for the most part, have a […]

If Swiss firm ABB, a leader in power and automation technology, and US computer giant IBM, a leader in artificial intelligence, had a power grid baby together – it could be really smart. Last week, at Hannover Messe 2017, the two companies announced a strategic collaboration that brings together ABB’s digital offering, ABB Ability, with […]
