Automation of solar plant, buildings and sensors grid

Price of batteries, when and where to charge, electrical usage... These are one of the many concerns about electrical vehicles. We have found some interviews about that...

Will the electric vehicle lead the world in 2020? Will you be ready for that?
We have a lot of questions to answer, let's start reading this research we have done over the internet.

Mexican Utility Taps Freewave for Smart Grid Project. Wireless technology is robust enough to support mission critical application such as grid monitoring. Wireless data radio applications such as power consumption and substation monitoring, as well as control and monitoring of power networks can be realized where the monitoring devices are remotely located and required repeaters. FreeWave offered a solution that tackled both the distance and line of sight issues and we have achieved more consistent, reliable and modern links since implementation.

HyperSolar Patent Discloses the Key to Making Renewable Natural Gas.
Company’s breakthrough technology uses sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce, clean, renewable natural gas.
“This renewable natural gas is a clean, carbon-neutral methane gas that can be used as a direct replacement for traditional natural gas to power the world, without drilling or fracking, while mitigating CO2 emissions,” the company reports.

Everyday at Megatris Comp We search for new opportunities and We analyse all the possible sources of information about smart grids, green tech, energy efficiency, network societies and artificial intelligence. In these days We have studied a lot of blogs and websites in order to prepare a report about the new Solar Energy Era for Africa and Europe.
First of All is the WWF's new Positive Energy report, widely welcomed by businesses, individuals and organisations as a valuable contribution to the energy debate.

Clean power giant NRG Energy announced on Monday that it will partner on a vehicle-to-grid project that was developed at the University of Delaware. The vehicle-to-grid project (or V2G) will use parked electric vehicles as grid batteries, in order to help stabilize the grid, and also potentially offer electric vehicle owners money to help cover plug-in cars’ extra costs.

The propagation of smart networked embedded systems across the grid is beginning to make an impact as to how valuable and significant the technology is. Smart grids are tackling technical issues and concerns that limit the openness, reliability and efficiency of energy production and distribution.

Let's start with some definitions.

Retrofitting refers to the addition of new technology or features to older systems.
power plant retrofit, improving power plant efficiency / increasing output / reducing emissions
home energy retrofit, the improving of existing buildings with energy efficiency equipment

Smart grid is a type of electrical grid which attempts to predict and intelligently respond to the behaviour and actions of all electric power users connected to it - suppliers, consumers and those that do both – in order to efficiently deliver reliable, economic, and sustainable electricity services.
A smart grid is an umbrella term that covers modernization of both the transmission and distribution grids. The modernization is directed at a disparate set of goals including facilitating greater competition between providers, enabling greater use of variable energy sources, establishing the automation and monitoring capabilities needed for bulk transmission at cross continent distances, and enabling the use of market forces to drive energy conservation.

In early 2010, Megatris Comp. set out to develop a Renewable Energy IT Systems Maturity Model (REISMM). 
The purpose of the model is to advance the global business of renewable energy plants and grids using the support of cloud computing. The value from the model covers a wide range of potential benefits such as:  
- Providing a “holistic” view of the system
- Providing a long-range planning tool and forcing a long-term view
- Providing the ability to link specific capabilities to achieving superior performance
- It integrates already existing framework like CMMI, PMM, ITIL.

If Virtualisation leads to cloud computing we are ready to support this evolution even if the analysis is not complete. We see a trend strictly related to data center pushed by major IT player. Instead the big advantage for companies and societies is the retrofit in cloud of old automation hardware integrated with web services. our company is suggesting to reduce costs and improve plants and grids automation integrated with legacy’s.

The Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) is an Information Technology (IT) management framework that provides practices for Information Technology Services Management (ITSM), IT development and IT operations.

This framework can be used to support a cloud computing service grid to control and command energy grids.

An important process of ITIL is the “Incident Management”: it becomes real time and is essentially software based . The event management technology permits to easier classify incident events in advance of customer requests.

Many human beings, companies, organizations, cities, nations, natural systems, and man-made systems or plants are becoming more interconnected, instrumented, and intelligent. So, what do we mean when we say that a Renewable energy plant is becoming instrumented, interconnected, and intelligent?

SolarMed is an effort to contribute to the development of renewable energies development. The first edition of this conference/exhibition took place in 2010 and had a particularly positive impact, since it brought together for the first time the leading players involved in the solar energy development projects going ahead in the Mediterranean region: the MSP, Desertec and Transgreen. Its unequivocal success has encouraged to move forward by organizing another edition in 2011.

The new frontier of luxury, a cruise ship for 400 passengers small in size, but so excessive in the quality of service and in the automation!
It offers hi-tech, thanks to 80km of cables installed for a complete automation, slightly less than those mounted on a cruise ship 110 thousand tons.
