GLASGOW-based Smarter Grid Solutions has entered into a partnership with Enzen Global Solutions (EGS) in India to bring innovative distributed energy resource (DER) management solutions to new markets looking to address the challenges associated with renewable integration.
The partnership was formally announced at the India-UK energy for growth dialogue in Delhi, India by Greg Clark, Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
Smarter Grid Solutions (SGS) was spun out from the University of Strathclyde to commercialise real-time control of electricity resources which require connection to grids that are considered full.
Its DER system can incorporate numerous renewable energy sources, ensuring power is drawn from the most efficient source at any given time.
To date the company has worked with four of six network operators in the UK and has more than 250 megawatts (MW) of renewable generation under live control around the UK.
The company has worked with four network operators in the UK and has more than 250 MW of renewable generation under live control around the UK.
The new agreement appoints EGS as an approved integrator for SGS products in India, Australia, the Middle-East and South Africa.
Alan Gooding from SGS, said: “These products have been proven to vastly improve grid efficiency and reliability, reducing the cost of renewable integration and maintaining electricity supplies.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
