A distributed networked Monitoring and Electrical Energy Storage System to provide power
on demand and stabilize the electrical grid phase and power with the assistance of solar
irradiation / energy”
Executive Summary
1. The proposed distributed networked renewable energy storage, within a retail electrical
consumer network, will level off the daily consumption swings in electrical power
consumption at the generating level, and as a result save the Israel Electric Corporation
(IEC) substantial resources and expenses needed to serve “peak electrical power
consumption” demands (savings in expenses are estimated yearly, between $100 to $200
million depending on implementation)
2. Installation of the proposed system will lower the footprint of CO2 Emission for each Israeli
citizen within the goals and purpose of the Ministry of the Environment and the fulfilment of
the latest G-7 decisions of de-carbonization by eliminating using coal and hydrocarbons for
electrical energy generation.
3. The proposed project is an electrical power regulation and electrical network stabilization
system with the assistance of solar energy, which system is balancing the electrical grid
based on demand, now mostly defined as “Smart Grid” which is very broad definition
covering a wide range of singular products meshed within the electrical grid and their
electrical power consumers. The system is also based on so called Mini-Grids.
4. Every place with new industry or multiple new housing projects as on balance the
implantation of this project, will be more price effective and generate substantial savings.
5. The proposed solution, is more price advantageous in generating electricity than natural gas
(NG) turbines and competes in the price of generating electricity with combined cycle NG
turbines, will also improve the phase steadiness within the electrical power network and the
alternate frequency which are an important part of the electrical power grid distribution, due
to the hysteresis curves losses within the transformers and their phase distortions which are
part of the distribution grid and the electrical motors connected to the grid (industrial and
residential) and it is outlined in the attached 2 page proposal
Specific issues with the Israeli Electrical Network which the project will address
1. The State of Israel is blessed with 2 major energy resources;
(i) adequate solar energy irradiation and;
(ii) the new discoveries of the offshore natural gas fields which are not renewable sources
of energy, and a source of environmental pollution.
2. As it happens due to technological developments, both resources can be now economically
implemented whereby the use of the solar energy resource based on LCOE and LACE cost
accounting, in Israel, is the most cost effective and economically advantageous within an
operating electrical grid if properly implemented.

3. There are problems with the supply of NG from offshore trough pipelines without big storage
facilities, as the pressure of the gas supply within the pipelines must be adjusted to demand.
4. There is an inherent delay in the NG pressure adjustment. Think about it as a DC supply with
a rectified AC current supply on top of it – you need a capacitor to smoot out the ripples –
this I do with batteries their inverters kick in in milliseconds
5. For peak demand the IEC must have several NG turbines in standby that are activated for
several hours a day only when peak demand arises and many days not at all. This cost money
and investment.
6. Solar spots and solar storms have a negative effect on extensive electrical networks and there
is nothing to do about it, they are adjusting the electrical network voltage with gas turbines
which is slow batteries + DC/AC inverters respond in milliseconds and can be fine-tuned.
7. The frequency and phase characteristics of the electrical network must be very stable as
otherwise you get jolts of energy from the transformers and network wiring that are also
inductive
8. Overload generated phase distortions due to the hysteresis curves and eddy currents in
transformers and electrical motors including you fridge and washing machine which if
unattended – e.g. more power and phase adjustments can overheat them and at extreme
burn them down
9. The most important issue is pure economic what is cheaper a gas turbine and related NG
storage combination or solar panels and batteries to respond to those fluctuation and fast.
10. Average annual solar radiation in Israel is around 2,000 KWH/m2 (the Negev and Arava
excluded), with an increase of 20%to 30% to the average during summer months or about 7
kwh Direct Beam Average kWh/m2/day or net 1.4 kWh/m2/day @20%. Most solar panels
are around 2 sq. m resulting in about 2.4Kwh to 2.8 Kwh/panel/day on average
11. One more important issue is the fact that NG turbine cannot be fine-tuned in their electrical
output as are the output from batteries with DC/AC converters, and more critical, at certain
low efficiency level NG turbine stop working.
12. NG gas turbines need a certain level of power output to be efficient which rated efficiency is
around 40% to 43% and need year-round maintenance
13. Each residential battery unit will have a TCP/IP protocol (IPv4 or IPv6) address or other
industry specific address and the appropriate DC/AC inverter can be activate by remote
control with the appropriate electrical conversion demand.
14. By financing the residential solar panel/battery/inverter system by IEC, from a legal point of
view, the system belongs to IEC, and therefore can make use for IEC needs after “feed-in”
compensation is paid.

15. The concept is a network on top of smaller networks until it reached agreed to
“neighborhood storage size” of several MWH (security dependent size) so when a cloud
passes over a solar panel system area, the DC/AC inverter is activated by command and
balance out the electrical fluctuations.
16. To resolve the economic viability issue realms of information are needed to be inserted in the
evaluation model for which I need or IEC or the Chief Scientist office cooperation.
17. Unexpected technical issues must be resolved and a myriad of safety standards and technical
question and the implantation of a pilot installation and proper monitoring are needed. Part
of my proposal is the insertion of electrical “flow switches” which are crucial in mini-grid
setups in conjunction with proper metering.
18. At present time there are about 200 new R&D projects to implement new technology in
electrical storage or increase the efficiency of the mechanical energy storage like compressed
air or flywheels. Those technologies may bear commercial fruits within 5 years. I am
interested in proven solution within a 1 to 2 year span. The appropriate technology that is
adequate for Israel must be chosen and therefore, a small project by itself to select the right
storage medium is needed, as I do not intend to use Lithium–Ion batteries but newer
technologies using at least 2 electrons, but safety features are of the upmost concern.
19. My main goal in my original proposal was to add more solar energy capacity to the exiting
electrical network and by this saving in installation of more NG turbines, or Pumped Storage
Hydropower setups, in the range of additional 800 to 1600 MW net, (or about 2 GW peak
panels and CSP installed) without inducing more instability to the whole electrical network
and use the late night hours and early morning hours to storage electrical energy in those
battery networks to be used when a fleeting peak demand of up to few hours arises.
20. The reason to go on the venue of relative small electrical storage facilities is based on the
assumption that those battery storage facilities are for all practical matters are an electro-
chemical dormant bomb, which is very prone to accidents, mischief or even terroristic action.
21. My proposal is a step by step development process with additional installation after a
successful installation of a micro-grid and proven CCC (command and control center) from
remote location, and the integration at a later stage of urban residential premises. Therefore
several disciplines are needed to complete the proposed project including a meshed in
supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA).
22. If I will be able to develop an economically viable combined solar collector as described in #4
of my initial proposal which I hope I will, we can discuss this idea at the meeting.
23. IMHO the only novelty if successful and economic viable is the new solar panel I envision of
dual purpose and the financial twist in financing residential electrical solar systems that will
form the basics of mini-grids powered on DC with common electrical storage, whereby
balancing the consumption and metering it is a challenge.
24. My realistic goal is start of implementation of a working pilot within a year, assuming not too
many legal issues will arise.
