Dr. Ryan Wartena will give an informal talk at Grid-Interop (Dec. 5 – 8 in Phoenix, AZ) on the technologies for building the Internet of Energy. The Internet of Energy is a new paradigm in which known amounts of energy can be very efficiently dispatched using software for economic modeling and long-lived energy storage integrated into the grid. The talk is aimed at product designers, system integrators, and consultants who want to better understand how emerging standards for grid interoperability may change the grid infrastructure in the future.

Creating Certainty through Uncertainty

Growing Energy Labs — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 18:42:22 +0000

InnovatingSMART helps to shape the future by telling the collective story of sustainable, regenerative SMART innovation.

In editor Sue Lebeck’s blog post on “Creating Certainty through Uncertainty“, she makes the case that “When it comes to energy in America, Certainty has most certainly become the condition we have come to expect – nay, demand — from the electrical grid. [..] Our path to sustained Certainty, however, is highly Uncertain.”

She caught up with GELI’s VP of Operations, Ted Beatie, at the Plug and Play Smart Grid event for a few words discussing GELI technology.
