::: nBlog ::: IBM recently announced that together with Hildebrand they’ve been able to gather 50.000 energy measurements per second using IBM’s top database products in a single computer. I am delighted to see this trend, as more and more organizations are seeing the value in gathering energy data in a holistic way. The energy grid is, however, inherently distributed and requires […]
::: nBlog ::: Today I had the privilege to visit Southern Company, hosting a planning meeting for GridComForum East. It is apparent that Southern is technologically gearing up to be on par with PG+E of California – let’s see how we can help. Having (again here) seen many companies providing services to utilities in order to better serve […]
Fred Baker had a crisp message to a combined Energy and ICT audience: Make new mistakes in the Smart Grid, not the ones already witnessed in the IPv4/IPv6 Internet. Representatives from ETSI (standardization organization in the field of information and communications) and ITU-T (Telecommunication Standardization Sector) were quick to point out that in many cases, […]
I’m here at NIST in an IEEE SmartGridComm conference, together with my CTO. The quality of these presentations and ideas is breathtakingly high – including the presentation of US Chief Technology Officer Aneesh Chopra. I so much miss this kind of vigorous governmental engagement in European countries. After conferring with a few colleagues from industry and […]
Pasi Hurri, President and CEO of BaseN Corporation, will talk about “Data Gathering for a Clean Energy Future” as part of the first CASSANDRA Workshop taking place on September 11th in Coventry, United Kingdom. Project CASSANDRA aims to build a platform for the realistic modeling of the energy market stakeholders, also involving small-scale consumers. CASSANDRA will provide users with the […]
My car is a legacy Saab Aero from 2003, with turbocharged 2.3 litre engine and automatic transmission. When I plug in my laptop into it via the standard OBD-II port, I can talk to four different computers and 112+ sensors and actuators thoughout the car. The OBD-II standard has been used in all cars since […]
Vacations are over, even sun (or clouds) seem to know that. Today was the first time in July that our house required external power to heat hot water, as the last two days have seen little or no sunlight. However, our 8.6 sqm solar collectors are far more efficient than what I expected. Meanwhile, a meeting with […]
Elon Musk’s Tesla Motors is about to raise up to 178M$ of additional venture capital in order to develop fully electric cars for real use, not just for people who have a different roadster for each day of the week. Although the IPO was successful, analysts warn that Toyota, GM, Mitsubishi and other existing automakers may […]
We had a refreshing summer storm yesterday here at Degerö, with gust speeds exceeding 20 m/s. For our house, it meant more than 50% energy surplus as the 5 kW wind turbine generated 2.6kW in average for more than 20 hours. It’s a record this year. Peak power reached 8.2 kW after which the turbine automatically slowed […]
I am deeply honored to have received an invitation to one of the Holy Places (in my quantum mechanical world view) – namely Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, a landmark research facility that has been instrumental in many world changing endeavors, like the Manhattan Project. This time it is not about discovering Plutonium, but on how to globally […]
