There's an air of excitement in the energy industry this week as Mario Draghi’s 'The Future of European Competitiveness' is now published! Among the many insights, Draghi reaffirms the importance of efficiently utilizing grids⚡ More specifically, the report outlines the role of innovative grid technologies to "increase the utilisation of the grid and help in achieving network buildout targets, by increasing the capacity of single power lines, providing a better understanding of the real time conditions of power lines, through actively steering power flows on the network, and by providing a better understanding of the real time stability of the power system. Assuming a reasonable coverage of innovative technologies, estimates show that the capacity/line length of the wider network could for example be improved by 20 to 40%."

Another project complete in Colombia⚡We’re excited to announce the delivery of a second large-scale project with ISA Interconexión Eléctrica S.A. E.S.P. in the Atlántico region that will unlock over 300 MW of extra capacity! The Atlántico region is set to experience substantial growth in electricity demand, with 1.5 GW of wind and solar generation already approved for connection. ISA's solution of using SmartValve™ across five 220 kV circuits was selected as the optimal option to manage changing power flows and support the firm connection of renewable energy in the region.

Frank Kreikebaum's review of the ‘Energy 2040: Innovation, Economics, and Decarbonization’ by Deepak Divan and Suresh Sharma was featured in IEEE Power and Energy Magazine🌎The book looks at the energy transition holistically, and how to accelerate translation of deep-tech innovation to market. Deepak Divan is an energy visionary who is actively involved in research, teaching and entrepreneurship in the energy space. In fact, Deepak Divan invented the modular power flow control concept, advanced it at Georgia Tech and later helped Smart Wires commercialize it.
