There was plenty of activity in the Large-Scale Battery space in the NEM through 2023. Today via WattClarity, Dan L. uses the (recently released) #GSD2023 to take a more detailed look at the comparative differences in performance between the 20 batteries now operating: https://lnkd.in/gKSG4hfe ... across different dimensions. Might help the discussions about batteries at this week's #SmartEnergy2024 conference and expo by Smart Energy Council, coincidentally

13 June marked a significant milestone in the European #electricitymarket as Nominated Electricity Market Operators (NEMOs) and Transmission System Operators (TSOs) organized the successful go-live of the first pan-European Intraday Auctions (IDAs). 🤝 This monumental project which seamlessly coordinated several central, regional, and local systems, showcases the collaborative effort of all NEMOs and TSOs working hand-in-hand, on a daily basis to enhance market efficiency and energy security across #Europe. 💪⚡ The IDAs represent a groundbreaking development in the European #energy landscape, providing Market Parties with new trading opportunities three times a day. For the first time ever, a Big Bang go-live approach was implemented for a pan-European project. Unlike the Continuous #Intraday Market – which required four go-live waves between 2018 and 2022 to cover the entire geographical scope – the implementation of IDAs was achieved in one single, coordinated effort. This unprecedented approach was far more complex and challenging, yet ultimately more efficient.

🏗️ Considering building a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) or investing in one?💰Or maybe you offer solutions for VPP operators? ❗Before you take your next step, you should be aware that there are many misconceptions about VPPs: on the one hand, that they are only for large-scale assets, or don't provide the promised grid benefits; on the other, that they are THE savior to our grid challenges and once you get devices connected, all the rest is easy. To clear up this fog, we invite you to access our exclusive VPP area, where you'll gain the insights needed to separate the facts from VPP fiction. Why is this for you? This webinar that is organized by Commodity Technology Advisory LLC and Narrativio will be an interesting opportunity for anyone that is keen on understanding the future dynamics of Virtual Power Plants, from industry professionals looking to harness VPP capabilities, investors eyeing the clean energy sector, to technology enthusiasts curious about the latest in energy innovations. It's a fact that Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) are transforming the energy sector with their rapid growth, yet their real potential remains largely untapped. This is why this webinar can be your gateway to demystifying them, and gaining clarity on their practical applications, profitability, and their evolving role in clean energy. 🎙️ Our expert panel, featuring voices like Dr. Cord Kaldemeyer, Marion Malafosse, Christoph Malzer, Brock Mosovsky, and Edvardas Norkeliūnas, will dissect key topics, including: 📦 Unpacking the technology behind VPPs and identifying the main obstacles. 💲 Evaluating the profitability of VPPs against market volatility. 🔋 Discussing the impact of innovations like battery storage and demand response on VPPs. ⚖️ Exploring the opportunities and necessities for VPPs in different markets. So don’t miss out on the opportunity to gain expert insights and answer your burning questions about VPPs. Your next step? 🎟️ To put yourself on the guest list, just make sure to sign up for our webinar, and we will save a virtual seat for you on April 17, 16:00 CEST / 10:00 EDT. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d2j4RDne #VPP #demandresponse #gridflexibility #energytransition #VPPfactfiction

🔔 Webinar Alert - Unlocking the power of DNOs' smart meter consumption data: Current and future use of the dataset 🔔 Join us for an insightful webinar organised by the Energy Networks Association (ENA) in collaboration with Baringa. We will explore the current and future use of aggregated smart meter consumption data that Distribution Network Operators ('DNOs') publish on their Open Data Portals. We will use the webinar as an opportunity to engage in discussions to debate ideas around how the data may help support local area energy plans, inform policy, as well as how it can provide more visibility on what is happening on low voltage networks (and lots more). The webinar will also allow us to explain what DNOs can currently publish and limitations that exist around the data, in order to understand current use and potential improvements to the existing dataset. 🗓️ Date: 30th of July 🕒 Time: 11am-12pm 👉 https://lnkd.in/ejgX-xrY Don’t miss out on the chance to influence the future of energy data usage!  #Webinar #ConsumptionData #EnergyData #SmartMeter #DNO #OpenData #EnergyPolicy #Collaboration

The deployment of smart meters is ongoing. They are crucial devices, notably to enable dynamic price contracts. In addition, a multitude of sub-meters and dedicated measurement devices could complement them to enable a truly consumer-centric transition. The revised Electricity Market Design is introducing via EU law these new assets to unleash the flexibility of some behind-the-meter (BTM) decentralised energy resources (DERs) both through explicit and implicit activations. The #webinar will present use cases for both sub-meters and dedicated measurement devices, clarify their distinguishing features and different use. We welcome, speakers from Octopus Energy, Sense, sonnen GmbH and also Philipp Rechberger, Head of System Technology Fronius International: "The current smart metering solutions in electric grids limit the full flexibility prosumers in the energy systems could provide. Therefore, parallel infrastructures are necessary which increase costs of the energy transition unnecessarily.” We are also delighted to welcome Marion Malafosse, Head of Policy smartEn Smart Energy Europe as our moderator. 🎤 👉 Register now: https://lnkd.in/eqpUAz9a

📣 PRESS RELEASE 📣 Our partnership with Electricity North West is expanding, with a new pioneering initiative to use both our ElectronConnect platform and Piclo Max to enable flexibility service providers (FSPs) to maximise routes to participate in flexibility markets 🎉👏 ⚡ElectronConnect will serve as the core market platform, offering an end-to-end solution for providers to participate; from onboarding through to dispatch and settlement. 🔌 Providers will have an alternative access point through Piclo Max, further removing barriers to entry for participation in the market. In response to this milestone achievement, Jo-Jo Hubbard, CEO and co-founder of Electron said: "Electron is committed to growing both volume and value in flexibility markets, understanding that these features are inextricably interlinked. As such, we are delighted to have been selected by Electricity North West as the platform on which to operate their markets and deliver tangible benefits to their network and customers. "We are also excited to be collaborating with Piclo Max to enable aggregated, alternative routes into markets. We believe this sets an important and positive precedent in proving our open ecosystem thesis for data portability across platforms, maximising FSP choice while preventing asset lock in at this early stage of flexibility market development."

So how cool is this! 👍💪 Our colleagues from Westnetz GmbH, the Westenergie Grid Operator, are part of the #TwinEU Horizon Europe Project!💡👏 In the coming months, over 70 companies across Europe will work together to create, develop and test a #digitaltwin of the electricity grid. They will create a key tool to increase the integration of digital solutions in the energy system. We will, among many others, closely cooperate with E.ON, envelio and Amprion GmbH to provide input about how to overcome data silos and guarantee secure and reliable grid operations to enhance the coordination between TSOs and DSOs🤝. #ShapingTomorrowToday I find it super exciting, that Westnetz GmbH can participate and contribute to this project shaping the #digitaltransformation of the energy system⚡💪.
