Top Tweets for #SmartLoads
@Sopanana1 @AlexLenferna @NewFrame_News @DavidNathi @DavidNyathi The solution is not just the Gx, we need #SmartLoads that provide #EnergyFlexibility
Like the Grid-interactive Efficient Building. And #DER. And #MicroGrids
From the bottom up, see ?
Hey @NERSA_ZA, the #BaseLoad question
- today South Africa needs #BIPV & wind, & #SmartLoads in the form of the #MicroGrid and #SmartBuildings
- we need #GridInteractiveBuildings so we have the flexibility to avoid the baseload trap
- eventually in 2040, nukes
There is no reason why #SmartLoads should feed energy back into the grid, unless the grid offers to pay for certain grid support services
Self-generation for self-consumption
That's how grid-interactive efficient buildings work. #DER is no threat to munics nor #ESKOM
#MicroGrids have always been, and will always be, about the load
So we should start with a discussion about #DemandFlexibility and #SmartLoads
#GridInteractiveEfficientBuildings
Why bash @Eskom_SA & @SikonathiM about a public #ESKOM Dashboard & realtime data feeds ?
So that Buildings ( #SmartLoads ) can automatically talk to the #SmartGrid & react to an energy crisis
Building Owners & Munics & ESKOM must all play on the same team - #GoodGridCitizens !
Why keep on at @Eskom_SA & @SikonathiM about a public #ESKOM Dashboard and a realtime data feed ?

@AfricaEnergyPro @RenewEnergySA @EnergyIndaba "renewable energy focused grid that enables distributed generation"
Yep, we call that a #SmartGrid - and coupled with #SmartLoads and #TransactiveEnergy, it's the #NewEnergyFuture we're all searching for
( luckily it's already a very real thing ! we just need to implement ASAP )
Dear #SouthAfrica - it's not actually about utility scale generation any more
It's about the #SmartGrid & #SmartLoads that provide #DemandSideFlexibility with their #RoofTopPV & storage
( even the @FinancialTimes back in 2017 understands ! )

Why are we transporting electricity large distances when it costs so much ?
Why not just generate the bulk of one's needs right where it's being used in the first place ?
#SmartLoads #SmartBuildings #SmartGrid
#TippingPoint No 3 !
@GuiVanVeen @IvoVegter @BischofNiemz @BerlijnDps @Arfness @Jesse_Burton @Gary22k @DirkdeVos @dailymaverick @TransitionShow @chrisnelder #RootopPV uses no new space, it's #BIPV - integrated into the urban environment. It uses no new Tx either, nor much more Dx.
All it requires is a #SmartGid to manage these valuable #SmartLoads
Some good reading - the #MicroGrid has yet to reach it full potential as a foundation of the Grid-interactive Efficient Building
#SmartLoads & #SmartGrids - thats where South Africa needs to look for salvation?
@Simon_Haw @keljabi @broadreachcap
#SmartLoads ? #FlexibleLoads ?
Yep, responsive building loads, in the form of the Grid-Interactive Efficient Building. Its a #V2B2G sort of thing. #EVs included
Buildings can set their LoadProfile to suit #SmartGrid price signals -& so become a good #GridCitizen
#ESKOM #NERSA
#SmartLoads you ask ? #FlexibleLoads ?
Yep, responsive building loads, in the form of the Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings. Its a #B2G sort of thing.
The building itself can set a load profile to suit #SmartGrid price signals - and so become a good #GridCitizen
#EnergyMix #IRP #ESKOM
Do we even need load-following generation when the #SmartGrid gives us generation-following #SmartLoads ?
@NERSA_ZA @Energy_ZA @Eskom_SA
@GuiVanVeen @bonafide_it @MichaelJordaan That's why we need #SmartLoads and #DemandResponse
We can design better buildings with #BESS and Thermal Storage to accommodate the "intermittent" PV and Wind. We call them #GEBs ( Grid-Integrated Efficient Buildings ) are they are most profitable & #GoodGridCitizens too !!
How will a #MillionMicroGrids save South Africa ?
Well, they would form #VirtualPowerPlants - these #VPPs are clusters of #MicroGrids / #DER & manageable loads ( #SmartLoads ) & other energy storage systems, all grouped to operate as a much needed integrated power plant
@BischofNiemz @BMNperspective @GradusT @Eskom_SA And that's why we need an agile flexible load too. The load must adjust to suit the generation.
Eg, #SmartLoads in the form of #MicroGrids and supplemented by good old fashioned #DR reduce coal ramping.
@AntonEberhard .@AntonEberhard
So when you get back we can talk about moving toward a world of #Blockchain, #DynamicPricing, and #TransactiveEnergy ?
A #SmartGrid and #SmartLoads perhaps ?

'The future will come much sooner than we expect and it will be much smarter'
At the #FSRGlobalForum, M. Vazquez, Head of our Innovation Area, interviews A. Pototschnig, ACER to get a regulatory perspective on the innovation challenges in the energy sector https://t.co/VcRDLYw9X1
@KhuluPhasiwe Question
1) Who pays to transport those RE electrons across our #NationalGrid ?
2) Who payed for the Tx infrastructure strengthening that connects the RE to the grid ?
We sure need more RE, but we need it as flexible #SmartLoads and as a million #MicroGrids on our #SmartGrid
