New power grids or smarter grids? Finding hidden spare capacity could unlock the bottlenecks to net zero
By Amir Cohen, CEO at EGM Our power grids face a perfect storm of climate change, and a mass of renewable technologies and electric appliances coming online that could cause an unprecedented capacity crunch. Recent reports indicate that net zero risks running into an electric grid bottleneck with insufficient capacity to support the massive integration […]
Meta-Alert Sensors Presented at CIGRE Australia
EGM’s agents in Australia, Flexity Pty Ltd., presented EGM’s Meta-Alert sensors at the CIGRE Australia Cairns International Symposium, held last week on 4-7 September 2023. Flexity team presented the ability of the system to locate downed conductors on coil compensated lines. Australia has some bushfire prone locations in which EGM’s Meta-Alert System can be implemented […]
EGM Presents at the Japan Israel Innovation Collaboration Tel Aviv
September 6th, 2023, Tel-Aviv, EGM presented at the Japan Israel Innovation Collaboration event. EGM team, led by CEO Amir Cohen, presented the Meta-Alert system and its capabilities in accurate fault location detection, and its far reaching implications in terms of financial savings and economic benefits to utilities and end users alike.
The Hidden Threat to Power Quality on the Electric Grid
The electrification of transport and industry will see the electric grid becoming a single point of failure across the economy so that disruption to power quality will have wider ripple effects than before. And as distribution grids intersect with millions of new appliances from EV chargers to heat pumps, this will drive an exponential increase […]
Smart Grids Predictively Against Climate Damages
The increase in electrification of services such as fast charging of electric cars and distributed renewable generation centers, puts a strain on the strength and efficiency of the networks themselves. This is compounded by the often unpredictable effects of extreme weather events, increasing in areas previously considered not at risk due to the effects of […]
The Hidden Threat to Power Quality on the Electric Grid
By Amir Cohen, CEO of EGM It has been widely reported that unregulated electric vehicle (EV) charging could overtax or destabilise power grids yet there has been less discussion of the potentially disruptive impact on power quality. While electrification of transport will deliver many environmental benefits, we must consider and manage the full impact of […]
Smart Electricity Grid Sensors Solve Power Puzzles
Renewable energy, while very much welcome in helping to combat climate change, does bring new variables to managing an increasingly complex electricity grid. But solutions providers are rising to the challenge, using a combination of big data analytics and smart electricity grid sensors to give operators a suite of upgraded monitoring options. Read the full […]
EGM and Israel Electric Company sign a Strategic Cooperation and Investment Agreement
IEC will invest $1 million in monitoring and analytics of the grid. An agreement for a strategic cooperation and investment was signed between IEC and EGM Ltd. for grid monitoring through sensors.IEC will invest $1 million as part of a $17 million raising round, to unable the development and deployment of EGM’s system to monitor […]
Failure Prediction
The electricity market is rapidly changing. Consumers are becoming producers; centralized markets are shifting towards distributed energy resources; renewable energies take on more of the load; underground grids and an almost absolute reliance by the end users – those are just a few examples. An important effect which derives from all of that is that […]
Big Data Analytics via EGM Meta-Alert system
As the world’s leading utilities are moving towards reliance on smart grid, those utilities now face a new challenge of dealing with tremendous amounts of data generated by that smart grid. Those challenges come into play mainly in terms of data storage, data processing, data analysis, and data security. This is where big data analytics […]
