· Det Norske Veritas (DNV) has had its project for exploring the outer limits of battery operations selected to receive funding from the DOE’s Advanced Research Projects Agency Energy. With partners NexTech Materials and Beckett Energy Systems, the DNV-led project will use battery life prediction modeling and sensor monitoring to identify where the limits of battery operation can be pushed. The goal is to extract greater performance from batteries. Read more >>
MILESTONES & HONORS
· Cisco received the 2012 Global Frost & Sullivan Award for Enabling Technology. Cisco's Connected Grid solutions that leverage Internet Protocol (IP) to implement standard-based solutions that can easily integrate various other third-party offerings were cited. "Because IP has been used widely in various environments, it allows utilities and grid managers to deploy a single common platform for all required needs along every domain," said Frost & Sullivan research analyst Shahul Nath. "This reduces relevant issues, such as designing and building closed networks for every domain, and helps to address interoperability and security issues." Read more >>
· Cleantech Group released its annual Global Cleantech 100 list and report and no surprise to see a lot of familiar smart grid companies on the list – Tendril, Silver Spring Networks, ENBALA Power Networks, Trilliant, On-Ramp Wireless, Viridity Energy and Opower among them. Read more >>
· Accenture was honored with the 2012 Oracle Excellence Awards for Specialized Partner of the Year – North America for its work in three categories -- technology momentum, engineered systems momentum and utilities.
