Employing EGM’s Meta-AlertTM System for Condition Based Monitoring
One of the common notions in today’s electric market is that in order to make the most of the grid, a utility needs to implement condition based monitoring. The logic behind condition based monitoring is that the maintenance should be adjusted to the actual status of the grid, rather than to a fixed set of […]
Digital Grid with EGM
The world is undergoing dramatic changes in almost every aspect of human life. New and advanced technologies emerge in every field, from medicine to home appliances. All these changes rely on a fundamental assumption that is absolutely necessary for their occurrence – constant and reliable supply of electricity. The grid, which is the network that […]
Use of Blockchain in the Electricity Market
As opposed to the traditional energy market, where there was one central power utility and energy users bought only from it, an energy market based on smart grid is decentralized, and users have various options from which to purchase their energy. EGM’s Meta-AlertTM System enables this and much more. This shift has opened new opportunities […]

Under this auspice EGM collaborates with NREL to evaluate the essentiality of EGM’s Smart Monitoring and Insight Generation System (Smart M&IG System) for Distributed […]
Micro-Grids: Less Dependency, Higher Resiliency
In the previous post we described the growing phenomenon of extreme weather events, how they are becoming more frequent and more extreme, creating new and greater challenges for utilities companies. One of the ways to cope with extreme weather events, as we explained in depth last time, is to strengthen the grid. Another way is […]
Meta-Alert System: Damage Avoidance instead of Damage Control
Strengthening the Grid: Utilities’ Strategy to Cope with Extreme Weather Events Extreme weather events are no longer rare incidents that occur once in a blue moon. On the contrary, they are becoming more frequent in their occurrence and more extreme in their degree. Since the electricity grid is located in the open air on high […]
Integrating Distributed Energy Resources: A Key Capability the Future of Smart Grid Should Have
