In conclusion, microgrids offer a flexible solution that provides reliable power while creating value for customers and society in many ways.
This document discusses smart grids and provides an overview presented by Ms. Sk. Rizwana. It defines smart grids as using two-way digital technology to control appliances and save energy. Key smart grid technologies discussed include advanced metering infrastructure, demand response, distributed generation, home area networks, communication networks, cyber security, electric vehicles, and energy storage. An overview of smart grid development in countries like China, US, Japan, Korea, Spain, and India's vision for renewable energy sources by 2050 is also provided. The advantages of smart grids like better power quality and renewable integration and disadvantages like network challenges and security issues are highlighted.
This document discusses future grids and provides an overview of smart grids and micro grids. It outlines some of the challenges with conventional power grids, such as one-way communication and frequent power failures. Smart grids are defined as self-healing, interactive, optimized, secure and predictable systems that modernize power grids with technologies like smart meters, distributed generation, phasor measurement, and information transfer to enable two-way communication and prevent blackouts. Micro grids are defined as small-scale power grids that can effectively integrate renewable energy resources and operate independently or in conjunction with the main grid, making them effective for use in emergencies or for powering communities and campuses.
In the first 15 years of the 21st Century there has been a steady growth in Microgrids driven by a number of factors including geography, resilience, and location specific economics. In the last five years this growth has accelerated as the cost of renewables and storage have dropped significantly allowing for integration of these distributed energy resources (DER's) into Microgrids. A key to this trend has been intelligent, cybersecure microgrid control solutions (MCS) which have algorithms that can execute sophisticated control strategies that manage power flows safely and optimally. It is the MCS which is the nervous system of the microgrid and the platform upon which Microgrids are becoming a mainstream and scalable energy solution.
1. A smart grid allows for better utilization of distributed energy resources and flexible loads to balance generation and consumption more cost-effectively without major grid infrastructure upgrades.

Abstract
Guard Global Ltd has developed a system to manage renewable energy microgrids by harnessing the power of Hedera Hashgraph DLT. The core of the system is a decentralised structured database to manage trustless interactions among interconnected members, across multiple microgrid mesh-networks. We have shown how the gossip protocol is able to handle the high speeds and volumes of transactions to cater for the demands of prosumers and consumers of renewable energy. Our aim is to extend the microgrid network across borders, thus accurate reporting and governance is a key factor in our success. Our approach is to leverage our structured data reporting capabilities to seamlessly report to various regulators and compliance agencies, as well as the microgrid stakeholders. Peer-to-peer energy trading among members will be possible via cryptocurrencies and/or fiat currency gateways.
Microgrids provide game-changing solutions for developed and developing electricity grids. They can be implemented in phases, starting with reducing demand and adding onsite generation and storage, and advancing to independent grid operation. Microgrids address energy poverty by providing reliable access for the 1.4 billion people living without electricity and 1 billion with unreliable access. The United Nations is working to achieve universal energy access by 2030 through initiatives like microgrid projects and solar trailers in Haiti. Microgrids benefit both developed and developing areas by improving reliability, integrating renewables and storage, enabling consumer participation, and improving quality of life, especially in disaster situations.
This document summarizes the key findings of a 2014 survey of 77 US rural electric cooperatives on their smart grid initiatives and trends. The top benefits of smart grid for rural utilities are reduced restoration times, increased visibility and control of the grid, and analytics-based decision making. While costs are a significant challenge, most rural utilities have some smart grid efforts underway or planned, with automatic meter reading and advanced metering infrastructure being common projects. Integration of distributed energy resources and developing expertise in data analytics were also highlighted as challenges for rural cooperatives.
The energy grid is currently undergoing a historical change of state from the traditional structure where a utility owns the generation, transmission and distribution services into an integrated smart grid in a monopolistic market which introduce consumers as active players in managing and controlling the power. This report provides an analysis of the methods applicable to smart grid interoperability tests. A systematic approach for developing smart grid interoperability tests was adopted by analyzing a house and an industries looking at the analysis of their active power. This analysis of active power gives the exact idea to know the range of maximum permissible loads that can be connected to their relevant bus bars. This paper presents the change in the value of Active Power with varying load angle in context with small signal analysis using wind, solar and generator grid . The result obtained showed that, consumers can then choose the cheapest energy to be consumed.

This white paper proposes organizing distributed energy resources (DER) such as microturbines, fuel cells, and renewable generators into "MicroGrids" to better capture their potential benefits. A MicroGrid is defined as an aggregation of loads and microsources that can operate as a single controlled system providing both power and heat. It appears as a single controlled entity to the bulk power system and can seamlessly separate from the grid during outages. The key technical issues addressed include MicroGrid control functions, protection during normal and isolated operations, and economics.

Storytelling Gone Wild: The Key to Creating Viral ContentSocial Media Today
The question marketers have been asking themselves for a few years now is, “Is there a secret to creating viral content?” The answer is yes and no. Yes, there are ways to help boost your content towards the goal of going viral. No, it’s not a secret. In many ways, the tactics to go viral are common sense. What about your content will activate an emotional response in your audience? What kinds of emotions does your audience respond to? Are you providing practical information in a unique way? Are you getting it in the right feeds at the right times?
Join us in this webinar as our content experts discuss:
Examples of content that goes viral, with explanations why
How to ask the right questions of your own content, so each message you send out has potential
Kinds of strategies to apply at different parts of the process for best results
And how to analyze those results in a realistic, goal-appropriate way
Social Listening: Harness Marketing Insights from Consumer ConversationsSocial Media Today
Social channels like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and even Reddit have brought brands and their audiences closer than ever before. If your marketing team is like leading organizations around the world, you’re already using social listening technologies to conduct market research, monitor and measure your campaigns, and support customers.
That’s a great start. But if you and your team aren’t aware of all the other ways that you can use social media to really maximize your marketing investments, you could be missing out on additional channels to exceed your targets, expand your share of voice, and create even more marketing-generated revenue for your organization.
Join our experienced panelists as they discuss how innovative marketing teams are expanding their social monitoring strategies, including:
Using real-time alerts and trends for reputation & crisis management
Distributing social data and insights across the enterprise

Omni-Channel Marketing: Creating the Right Mix for Your BrandSocial Media Today
There is a fine line between an omni-channel marketing strategy and a messy social media presence, and it’s crucial that brands stay squarely on one side of that line. Now that social media has declared its power and is here to stay, there is no need to push your content and message on all channels at once. Good omni-channel marketing tailors content to specific channels and personalizes it for the buyer persona appropriate for that channel. You don’t have to be everywhere at once, but you do have to be several places authentically. In this webinar, you’ll discover that omni-channel is more than a marketing buzzword--that it’s an opportunity to personalize your brand story for more customer loyalty and trust.
Join us as our marketing experts discuss:
The balance between shouting your message across channels and tailoring your content for specific channels;
Tools to help you manage omni-channel marketing campaigns;
How to use customer journey mapping to better understand where and how your customers are active;
And how omni-channel can work not just in sales but also in listening, customer care, and analytics.
In the age of authenticity, there’s no greater tool at a marketer’s disposal than influencer marketing. Consumers no longer blindly trust advertisements. Instead, they trust influencers whose judgment has a proven track record. Done right, influencer marketing can communicate a brand’s culture directly to a target audience in a real way. But how do you justify investment in an influencer program, and how do you measure tangible results? How do you go about finding influencers to engage with in the first place? What are realistic goals to set? Which metrics matter and which are simply vanity metrics?
In this panel, our experts will discuss:
Why influencer marketing is one of the most effective marketing tools
How to find talent that is brand-appropriate and also aspirational
What kind of business goals to set with an influencer program
How to track and understand metrics to measure a program’s effectiveness
How Does Social Listening Change the Way You Do Business (and Create ROI)Social Media Today
You can’t do social marketing well if you aren’t nailing social listening. If you’re crafting and executing a social strategy in a vacuum, your results will probably be equally hollow. The thing is, consumers are on social right now, talking about your brand or talking about issues that are important for developing and selling your products or services. Are you listening to them? Are you listening across platforms? Are you gathering your results from all areas of social? Are you taking that data and and using it to re-formulate your marketing approach? If it sounds like a lot, it’s because it is. But it’s not impossible with the right know-how.
Join us as our panel discusses:
How to know what to listen to and when;
Strategies for integrating social listening into your marketing approach
Ways to aggregate listening across platforms
How to turn listening data into actionable insights for your business plan
It’s easy to let the holiday season bog your organization down in the influx of sales campaigns, but make sure you don’t miss out on forecasting trends in marketing for the coming year. January offers brands a chance to reformulate their marketing approach to fit the new cycle of innovation and tech trends. To that end, Social Media Today ends the year with a webinar that focuses on what’s to come in 2016. Where will live-streaming apps take us next? How important will mobile be? What if you don’t have a video strategy? What will be the next wave of startup innovation? How should the enterprise pivot in the face of unexpected challenges?
Join our panelists as we discuss:
- Predictions for trends and changes to come in social marketing in 2016
- How to use these predictions to shape your social strategy
- And which innovations from 2015 will continue to grow in the coming year.
With viral word-of-mouth recommendations outpacing traditional advertising efforts, there’s no greater buzzword right now than influencer marketing. Yet most influencer marketing news focuses on B2C brands, ignoring the fact that influencer marketing is just as important an investment for B2B companies. In this webinar, we’ll use a B2B case study to look at ways your small business can leverage experts in the field for a better company both internally and externally, from content creation to relationship building.
Join us as our panelists discuss:
why influencer marketing is a crucial way to stay relevant and informed in your industry;
how to find context for your brand and a place to start looking for influencers;
a specific case study that will give you ideas to start your own program;
and tips for measuring results and determining ROI of influencer marketing.
Is Social Media Worth Multi-Million Dollar Investment? Using Social Listening...Social Media Today
There’s no greater quest in social marketing today than the quest to determine the ROI of social media. CEOs and CMOs want to know exactly what the financial investment is earning them in return, and who can blame them? There’s been a massive rush to the social space, but without a strategy for proving ROI, you can quickly find yourself knee-deep in tweets you don’t know what to do with. Specific goal-setting can help determine what kinds of social interactions to pursue, and understanding the value of social listening could change the entire shape of your organization. Social listening might not directly lead to sales all the time, but, used correctly, it will always lead to a better relationship with your customer.
Join us as our panel of experts discuss:
What the social media landscape looks like today and how ROI changes with it.
The inherent value in using social media to expand your reach, and how to measure those benefits.
Why social listening is the anchor of ROI.
Examples of the kinds of goals to set for social campaigns and how to determine their success.
December 1, 2015 Webinar:
In the age of employee advocacy, your brand can be as powerful as your workforce is enthusiastic. If your workforce is motivated, engaged, and socially equipped, you can pull off an appropriate and successful employee advocacy program. In fact, if your organization is mid-sized and doesn’t have at its disposal the marketing tools larger outfits might have, internal brand advocates are often the most powerful and cost-effective marketing tool in your arsenal. Our new report on the current state of employee advocacy finds that 64% of advocates cite a workplace program as the reason for attracting new business, and 45% can directly attribute new revenue streams to formal programs. So while you might not be able to dedicate an entire team to implementing a program, it's good for business to assemble your core of informed, active, and proud employee advocates. A great employee advocacy program knows no size boundaries.
In this webinar, join our panelists as they discuss:
Statistics from our report, including why 84% of employee advocates say it's had a positive effect on their career;
Why employee advocacy is word-of-mouth marketing at its best, and can give your brand an edge in the noisy marketplace;
How to identify the most motivated and engaged employees and activate their personal drive on behalf of your organization;
A content strategy that combines company and employee content for an authentic and relevant mix;
And how to use employee advocacy to amplify your brand beyond the limits of its size.
The Future of Mobility: Is Personal Car Ownership a Thing of the Past?Social Media Today

The webinar will examine how mobility may change by 2030 with alternative fuels, rapid urbanization, new generations, and autonomous vehicles potentially making personal car ownership obsolete.
In an age where marketing currency equals digital consumption, the content marketing game has never been more intense or competitive. And while we can’t all claim to be as viral as a scandalous Kim Kardashian photo spread, we can aim to create and curate content that speaks directly to our audience in a new and incredibly valuable way. In this crowded social landscape, your content must provide serious value to capture the customers’ attention, and must be uber-relevant to stand out among the noise. This webinar isn’t going to give you a magical content formula, but it will help you get into a mindset to design a content strategy that has the potential to “break” the hum drum normalcy of the Internet.
Join us in this webinar as our content experts discuss:
Why content is your organization’s biggest asset when it comes to earned media;
Different content styles and categories, and how your business can produce in each;
How to organize and execute a strategy, including defining your brand story, sticking to an editorial calendar, and understanding performance analytics;
And what kinds of content lead directly to organization growth (and what that even looks like).
According to recent reports, just 8% of companies say they can prove ROI from their social media spending, yet 70% of marketers say they plan to increase their social media spending. CMOs are under the gun now more than ever to show how social media marketing directly impacts bottom line revenue. And while we all know that good social content marketing can foster an engaged community, how should we measure the tangible, financial benefits? What metrics should you be looking for to justify your social budget to the C-Suite? What, really, is the value of a “like?” If you are a marketer who needs help showing your CMO that an active social community actually improves commerce, this webinar is for you.
Hear from our panel of experts as they discuss:
How to use user-generated content to persuade and influence the purchasing decision.
The best ways to quantify positive social sentiment.
Which metrics matter in the connection between digital community and business bottom line.
What CMOs really want to hear and the best ways to deliver those results.

Enterprise Social: Segmenting Your Data For The Best Customer ExperienceSocial Media Today
Enterprise social media data can be segmented to provide the best customer experience. Successful segmentation involves defining customer segments, identifying their unique value, and engaging each segment based on their relationship with the company. It is important that segments are identifiable, substantial, accessible, responsive, stable, and can be acted upon. Social media data provides opportunities for segmentation across industries like retail and higher education. Segmentation allows companies to tailor their messaging, products, and services to meet different customer needs.
This year, Entrepreneur said, “the future of new business is social selling.” Statements like that are easy to get employees excited about at first but it can be difficult for companies to maintain that momentum if it doesn’t yield immediate results. Consistency and sticking with it, however, is key to social selling success. So how can you build your social selling dream team and increase your company’s investment in the process? There are a few tips and strategies--such as breaking down silos between sales and marketing as well as getting the C-Suite involved --that can refresh your team’s approach to social selling and help close deals with greater regularity and ease.
In this panel, our sales experts will discuss:
-How to unite your sales and marketing departments so that your social efforts are supported company-wide;
-How to train and internally motivate your team for better morale and better external results;
-Why the c-suite needs to be involved and how to involve corporate leadership sales initiatives;
-Social selling strategies that focus on authentic and well-researched relationship-building.
It's time to pay attention to millennials: a quarter of the total U.S population is made up of millennials and nearly 85% of them own smartphones. If you aren't targeting at least some of your marketing efforts towards this demographic, you're probably missing out on huge opportunities. You must create a marketing campaign for the audience you have, but also the audience you want. Yet what if your brand isn't naturally geared toward millennials? What exactly is a millennial? And won't this marketing strategy shut out other demographics? And how do you speak "millennial," anyway?
In this webinar, learn from our expert panelists:
-How to make sure your content strategy is mobile-friendly for all demographics
-Tips and tricks on spinning the content you already have for the millennial audience
-Ideas for shaping a new content strategy that will appeal to a younger mobile audience
-Information on where B2B intersects with millennials, and why it's important to reach out to that demographic to scale.

Get the tips on how to get your brand ready to win the hearts and minds of today’s consumer – a more savvy consumer than ever.
There’s a reason offices spaces are becoming more "open" these days. Siloed departments are a thing of the past. If your marketing department and sales department aren’t talking to each other and collaborating, you’re doing something wrong. If you don’t have social informing every department, you’re going to be hard-pressed to see significant ROI from social, or improve the customer experience. The very nature of social media requires that it crosses boundaries and informs all campaigns and marketing efforts and customer touchpoints. But it’s difficult to make that happen in your company simply by taking down cubicle walls. You must also set up infrastructure within your organization that allows for convenient communication, and you must invest in the right tools and platforms that are flexible enough to move with your prospect and customer initiatives instead of rigidly defining them.
In this panel, we’ll gather experts to discuss:
-Why integrated social is the only way to go if you’re going to become a social business
-How to measure social ROI when it encompasses many departments and strategies
-Tools and platforms that can help your organization stay socially agile
-How a thorough dedication to social across your organization can help you scale and grow at a manageable rate
-The kind of internal methodology needed to integrate a social-centric approach
It’s true: your best brand advocates are coming from inside the company. Are you leveraging the reach and authentic enthusiasm of your employees? Identifying and mobilizing your employees are the first steps to putting in place a solid advocacy program. But a crucial last step that isn’t often talked about is measuring results and tweaking your program. In this webinar, we’ll talk to experts from brands that have measured the effectiveness of their advocacy programs to identify what’s working and what could work better. Whatever stage of implementing your program you’re in, it’s important to understand how to tell if your efforts are making a difference for your brand’s reputation in the market.
In this webinar, our panelists will talk about:
-How to set up your employee advocacy program with clear goals and KPIs while also remaining agile;
-What parts of your program you should be measuring;
-How to turn data from your program into results that tell a story;
-Which tools will help you consistently measure your results in a clear, helpful way.
In an era where your customers’ attention spans are close to that of a goldfish, you have no time to waste in your marketing efforts. Customers will only respond to campaigns that fit seamlessly into their digital life, and they’ll only respond to content that is uber-relevant to their needs and desires. At the same time, you need to be meeting your own internal KPIs and consider your company’s relevance across media and trends. Anchoring your strategies in the place where audience desires and brand goals overlap can transform your marketing from digital noise to personalized, appealing content. Additionally, taking inspiration from events can make your campaigns useful as they toggle online and off. Approaching each campaign with a set of CX principles will ensure that your company remains relevant as the needs and desires shift.
But where should you begin with all of this?
In this webinar, we’ll discuss:
-Finding the sweet spot where customer desires, industry trends, and brand goals overlap and using that to guide your marketing efforts;
-Ways to create narratives for your campaigns that move seamlessly from online to offline and back again;
-How to discover what kind of content is relevant for today’s online consumer and how your products or services can fit into it;
-How to develop a system of marketing campaign principles that will allow your campaigns to stay fresh and creative.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Smart Grid: Bi-directional electric grids and communication networks
that improve the reliability, security, and efficiency of the electric
system for small- to large-scale generation, transmission, distribution,
storage, and consumption. It includes software and hardware
applications for dynamic, integrated, and interoperable optimization of
electric system operations, maintenance, and planning; distributed
energy resources interconnection and integration; and feedback and
controls at the consumer level.
Microgrid: A small power system that integrates self-contained
generation, distribution, sensors, energy storage, and energy
management software with a seamless and synchronized connection to
a utility power system, and can operate independently as an island from
that system. Generation includes renewable energy sources and the
ability to sell back excess capacity to a utility.

"The current growth rates of mobile data traffic resemble those of the fixed network from 1997 through 2001, when the average yearly growth was 150 percent. In the case of the fixed network, the growth rate remained in the range of 150 percent for 5 years." http://www.fierceenergy.com/story/internet-things-chinese-national-initiative/2012-02-27China's machine-to-machine (M2M) is expected to grow from $642 million in 2011 to $2.76 billion in 2016, with smart meters and smart grid a significant portion of the market, according to ABI Research. And M2M has a solid place in China's national economic strategy. "China's latest economic five-year-plan has placed the ‘Internet of Things' as a key, strategic national industry initiative for the country," said Jake Saunders, ABI's Vice President of Forecasting. "Carriers have made significant progress through 2011 in terms of developing technologies, unified platforms, applications, and strategic cooperation." Likewise, strong growth, particularly in smart grid and automotive telematics programs, helped to drive overall cellular M2M connections and revenue. As mobile network operators have become increasingly central to the M2M value chain, MVNOs and other types of M2M connectivity services providers have had to become more innovative in their technology offerings and competitive strategies. ABI Research expects cumulative cellular M2M connections to rise to 364.5 million globally by 2016. The M2M market has become a fully mainstream segment of the cellular industry. By the end of 2011, most major mobile operators in North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region had established M2M business units to focus their efforts in this fast growing market. The market for cumulative cellular M2M connections will rise from about 110 million connections in 2011 to approximately 365 million connections by 2016. This represents a compounded annual growth rate of roughly 27% by 2016 and translates to about $35 billion in connectivity services revenue. The two largest cellular M2M market segments over the forecast period, by revenue, will be automotive telematics and smart energy. Automotive telematics, including factory-installed systems such as GM’s OnStar service, aftermarket services such as usage-based insurance, and fleet management systems, will together represent more than $15.5 billion in 2016. Meanwhile, smart energy, specifically cellular connectivity to smart meters and data concentrators, will represent more than $7.5 billion in 2016. “As mobile operators further develop their M2M service offerings, software platforms and M2M application developer support will feature as increasingly larger components of the operators’ services,” says Sam Lucero, practice director, M2M connectivity. “For example, AT&T announced on January 9, 2012 that it would be reselling Axeda’s M2M application platform in a US carrier exclusive deal. This platform will enable AT&T customers to more easily develop and deploy complex M2M applications.”
