Advanced Demand Response services over real-time Behavioral Gamification
So far Demand response services were not efficient in the Home consumer target market. Various companies were targeted in the C&I market. Also, price incentives were not always efficient. Finally, we found a way to connect social incentives and gaming credification with demand response in real-time, giving the opportunity to approach the home consumer market with real-time social services

Ανατροπή σκηνικού έχει επέλθει το τελευταίο διάστημα στη λιανική ρεύματος, καθώς οι καταναλωτές και κυρίως οι βιομηχανίες, έχουν πλέον τη δυνατότητα να προμηθεύονται ηλεκτρική ενέργεια όχι αποκλειστικά από έναν προμηθευτή, αλλά μπορούν να συνδυάζουν προμηθευτές ή ακόμη και να αγοράζουν ενέργεια από το pool, πετυχαίνοντας τον καλύτερο συνδυασμό και εξοικονομώντας κόστη.

Bridging the Communications Gap Between Utilities and Consumers
The ongoing saga of smart meters in California and a recent opt-out ruling once again highlight the existence of a communications gap between utilities and consumers. Watching this slow motion communications disaster play out leads me to two conclusions. First, utilities, regulators, and governmental entities need to rapidly gain expertise in the practice of risk communications.

The US electrical grid is often referenced as the greatest machine ever built. Its evolution into a Smart Grid and an Internet of things will improve overall grid operations, reduce inefficiencies, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve reliability, and give consumers more control over their consumption of electricity.

When people learn the facts about energy efficiency and are aware of critical energy issues, such as rising costs, dependence on foreign oil, increasing GHG and the like, they will change their energy behaviors to help save money and the earth. Sound right? Well, as it turns out it isn’t, and according to Social Psychologist Wesley Schultz, education and awareness alone will not bring about needed changes in energy use. But what will?

Last week Spain’s power grid operator, Red Electrica de Espana (REE), announced its strategic plan for 2011-2015. In 2010, over 35% of the electricity used in Spain came from renewable resources - mostly from wind energy. Now, one of REE’s main challenges is to integrate even more renewables into the system.

Embedded Energy Features Will Break Down HAN Cost Barriers
Who pays for home energy management? That’s an issue we pondered in a recent article. It’s also an open question for dozens of startup vendors struggling to get momentum selling home energy management hardware bundles costing $300, $500 and even more (see our free HAN taxonomy for a quick sampler of vendors in the space).
