Intelligent Technologies can almost halve the Grid Extension Costs of Distribution Network Operator EWR
Darmstadt, September 2015
In May 2015 Energynautics was commissioned by the Distribution Network Operator EWR Netz GmbH, located in Rhineland-Palatinate, to calculate and adapt the results of the Rhineland-Palatinate Distribution System Study for its supply area. The Rhineland-Palatinate Distribution System Study was carried out by Energynautics, the Öko-Institute and the law office Bird&Bird; on the basis of different scenarios, the possibilities for Rhineland-Palatinate to cover the state's electricity demand completely with renewable energies (RE) by 2030 (100% goal) were assessed.
In the EWR study the RE capacity that has to be installed in EWR's supply area for the 100% goal is compared to the real expansion of RE. Additionally, the grid expansion required for EWR's distribution network and the corresponding costs are calculated. In order to adapt the calculations to the special characteristics of the EWR grid, the assumptions of the Distribution System Study are scrutinized and modified, if necessary.
The calculations show that between 2012 and 2014 more RE plants were installed in EWR's supply area than predicted assuming the 100 % goal, and that EWR can reduce network extension costs arising according to the scenarios by 2030 from € 70m to € 40m by using intelligent technologies, such as wide area voltage control and controllable medium to low voltage transformers.
Energynautics' contribution to the E-Mobility Project of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB)
Darmstadt, September 2015
In January 2015, energynautics was commissioned by Öko-Institut e.V. to assess the effects of high shares of electric vehicles on the distribution grid as a part of an E-Mobility project of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety. Conducting a meta study, Energynautics focused on the use of electric vehicles to facilitate the integration of decentralized renewable generation into the German distribution grids. The study was completed in July 2015 in the form of a 30 page report, which will be presented at the project's stakeholder workshop in September.
Simulation models gain importance in verifying compliance with grid codes
Darmstadt, September 2015
Press Release
An increasing share of electricity production from renewables means that more and more conventional power plants that formerly provided ancillary services for grid operation and system stability are no longer in operation. For this reason, new grid codes have been developed that prescribe how individual generation units should operate in normal as well as critical grid situations.
Many critical situations in the grid cannot be tested in a real environment due to the high risk of power outages. Computer simulations are therefore used to predict the behavior of a generator and the grid. To get reliable and representative results from the model, the grid operator has to understand the properties and behavior of all the generators in the grid. Power producers are often required to submit simulation models in a specified format before they are allowed to connect their unit to the grid. The use of models and simulation is an important part of the German certification process to substantiate a power generator's compliance with grid codes.
Energynautics offers such modeling services as a specialist in the model development of solar photovoltaics (PV) and battery inverters, wind turbines, and combined heating and power plants (CHP). More than 20 models developed by Energynautics have been successfully certified by various German certification authorities.
To confirm the quality of the model, it has to be validated against measurement data. In Federation of German Wind Power and Other Renewable Energies (FGW) Technical Regulation No. 4 (TR4), the validation procedure is described together with how to use derived measurements and compare them to simulation results. The method described is currently being revised to align with the IEC 61400-27-1 international standard. As this standard was originally developed for wind power and does not include any limits on the discrepancy allowed between simulation and measurement results, the FGW working group, including Dr. Tröster from Energynautics, is currently discussing necessary changes regarding solar PV and combined heating and power plants, and reasonable limits for evaluating the accuracy of the models. The next revision of the FGW TR4, including the IEC standard, will be released in January 2016.
Energynautics is well prepared to develop models for certification in line with the latest regulations. To be able to quickly develop a robust and precise model, Energynautics has developed a number of tools to support the modeling process. These include a system identification tool for parameter tuning and an evaluation tool to determine the accuracy of the model according to FGW TR4 and the new IEC 61400-27-1 standard.
Modeling, certification and grid codes will be discussed in more detail at the upcoming 5th Solar and 14th Wind Integration Workshop in Brussels from 19 to 22 October 2015; the workshop is organized by Energynautics.
Grid integration study for Costa Rica has started
Darmstadt, August 2015
energynautics, together with DIgSILENT and Meister Consultants Group, was commissioned by the Costa Rican utility ICE and the Costa Rican Ministry of Energy, MINAE, to conduct a grid study for the Costa Rican transmission grid. The project is financed by the Inter-American Development Bank, IDB. The objective of the study is the development of strategies to integrate wind and solar energy into the currently primarily hydro-based system. Variable renewable energy sources are intended to help Costa Rica, which already has an almost completely CO2-free electricity sector, to keep up with growing electricity demand. Furthermore, some of the best onshore wind locations in the world, with yearly capacity factors above 50 %, are located in the province of Guanacaste in northern Costa Rica, drawing considerable interest from investors.
energynautics CEO Dr. Thomas Ackermann and two members of the energynautics team travelled to Costa Rica for one week in late June 2015 to discuss the proposed methodology of the study with ICE, MINAE and the IDB. Furthermore, the team was able to have a look at the structure of electricity generation and transmission on-site, visiting a wind power plant in Guanacaste as well as the Arenal Lake, the country's largest hydro reservoir.
Results of the study are expected to be published in mid-2016.
Energynautics will revise the Barbados Grid Code
Darmstadt, August 2015
The Barbados Light & Power Company has engaged the services of energynautics to review and expand on its grid code. The grid code regulates the technical requirements for customers generating electricity to connect to the utility's grid. energynautics will work with Light & Power for a period of 10 weeks on this project.
Barbados is experiencing rapid growth in customer solar installations on the island. According to System Planning and Performance Manager, Johann Greaves, 'The utility now has 8 megawatts (MW) of photovoltaic (PV) customers connected to our network and another 8 MW approved and awaiting connection. In addition to this, Light & Power has plans for a 10 MW solar PV plant and a 10 MW wind plant in the near future. This is all fitting with the Government's goal to cover 29% of its energy needs from renewables by 2029.'
With a peak load of 152 MW and increasing intermittent generation capacity, the Grid Code has to be updated to accommodate the changing circumstances of the power system. Mr. Greaves noted that 'the Intermittent RE Penetration (IP) Study for Barbados identified several changes to the Grid Code necessary to integrate more renewables, including requirements for fault ride through capabilities and voltage control. As a Company we remain supportive of alternative energy and all this is a necessary part of the move to a sustainable future.' energynautics will revise the Barbados Grid Code in light of the recommendations of the IP Study, and will develop new Planning and Operation Codes for the Grid Code.

Energynautics Modelling for Greenpeace shows how Jiangsu Province in China can triple its renewable targets for 2020
Darmstadt, July 2015
In a report based on modelling work done by energynautics, Greenpeace East Asia has demonstrated how Jiangsu Province in Eastern China can reach ambitious renewable energy targets by 2020 in a cost-effective way.
Jiangsu currently generates the majority of its electricity from coal, resulting in high CO₂ emissions and bad air quality. Current plans would increase wind and solar photovoltaic capacity in Jiangsu to 10 GW each by 2020, covering just 5% of its electricity demand from renewables.
energynautics' modelling shows how Jiangsu can triple these targets and install 30 GW of wind, 30 GW of solar and 3 GW of biomass by 2020, thereby covering 14% of its demand with renewables from within the province. Simulations of the transmission network showed that while some grid upgrades are necessary to integrate wind generation from coastal regions where wind speeds are good, over half of the necessary grid extensions can be avoided by using innovative new grid technologies, such as Dynamic Line Rating. Dynamic Line Rating allows network operators to raise the thermal capacities of transmission lines when there is extra cooling due to the wind, thus avoiding grid upgrades.
The Greenpeace East Asia report demonstrates that there are no technical hindrances for Jiangsu to triple its renewable energy targets for 2020. Such an increase in renewables capacity has already been achieved by Germany in a similar time frame.
All modelling and simulation work was conducted during a month-long mission to China by two energynautics researchers. Jiangsu State Grid Corporation and the Chinese Renewable Energy Industries Association provided assistance to develop the scenarios.

Greenpeace publishes powE[R] 2030
Darmstadt, 20 March 2014
Greenpeace published today the report powE[R] 2030, that was developed together with energynautics.
It bases on the past reports "renewable 24/7" and "Battle of the Grids" by Greenpeace and energynautics, which looked at integrating high levels of renewables into the European power and transmission system.
This modelling has now been updated for "powE[R] 2030", with higher shares of renewables, better modelling of inflexible conventional generation (and the conflicts with renewables that ensue from this inflexibility) and a more detailed focus on HVDC technology. It was found that an "Overlay" HVDC grid to transport renewable energy over long distances in Europe can significantly reduce the total network expansion and avoid expensive curtailment of wind and solar power. In total Europe can cover 77% of its electricity supply using renewables with a network expansion of just 26,000 km.

Greenpeace releases Smart Energy Access Report for Bihar, India
Langen, Germany (May 2012)
Together with Greenpeace, energynautics has investigated the potential role of microgrids in rural electrification. The microgrid approach is attractive because it can facilitate the integration of renewable energies, thereby contributing to national renewable energy targets. Being built from modular distributed generation units, it can adequately adjust to demand growth. In addition, it can operate both in island mode and grid-connected mode, making operation flexible and can also offer grid support features.
This report demonstrates with a case study how this bottom-up approach with microgrids would work. It focuses on development in the state of Bihar in India.

gen-sets accelerate during a fault and cause the generator to fall out of step
with the grid frequency, decoupling it from the grid.
Commissioned by VDMA, energynautics has studied different solutions to this problem, such as increasing inertia, using a braking resistor or eddy-current brake, or a full power converter to improve the fault-ride-through behaviour of the gen-set in order to stay safely connected to the grid.
Investigations have been carried out using the software tool DIgSILENT PowerFactory and were based on the data of five gen-sets in the range of 220 kW up to 6.9 MW.
The study gave valuable insights for the discussion between the grid operators and the gen-set manufacturers.

Sometimes information that needs to be removed is merely outdated. If they need additional information, they'll contact you. Many people with bad credit histories have followed the steps classified by this article and repaired their credit. Of the many companies which offer credit restoration services, one that is associated with a attorney is probably the safest choice. If you are not a small business owner, then simply looking for an EIN is fraudulent.
So, an effective credit restoration business may have saved Americans between $768 and $5568, just in interest on his or her mortgages in the last two years. A few years ago, there was a credit score improvement clinic which claimed to possess a unique and valuable computer "disc". Spell it correctly otherwise you may end up with a site selling a credit improvement kit. The FICO credit tips and solutions advise that a secured plastic card which is handled properly will assist you to repair low credit score history over time. Some lawyers offer a comprehensive credit repair program.

Any other bills you are utilized to paying will likely be set aside along with your debt instead of listed as living expenses. That way you could be sure that their recommendations are legal. A reputable credit repair report service should evaluate your own situation, before promising results. Credit repair allows borrowers to qualify for the lower interest rate. An unhealthy score is one issue that loan firms discover dangerous and reduce the chances of from.
Removal of erroneous negative information alone will go a great way toward improving your credit standing. If you've decided looking at the self credit restoration requirements that there are several things that you just do not have (like a little, yellow highlighters are pretty simple to come by), then you might want to consider a credit repair agency. Print the reports out and begin the process of reviewing the knowledge that the credit bureaus have been accumulating about yourself. All of this information plus a sample credit repair letter is available in the official website with the Federal Trade Commission. A credit repair organization can perform nothing for you that you cannot do yourself, in case you have time, patience as well as a little knowledge.

Anyone who has the time, patience and a little bit of experience could technically become a credit score improvement consultant. In those situations where letters are essential, it costs postage, needless to say. What to start with seems like a free credit improvement solution may turn in a nightmare. If you have only a couple of goods that are causing you problems, then you might be able to accomplish this on your own. Some credit repair companies can be very costly, however they may help you save some time.

Podere Giulio.
Overlooking the sea and framed by the splendid Etruscan hills of Tarquinia with their wealth of culture and history, the Podere Giulio farm is located in countryside of almost unspoilt natural beauty. The farm offers its visitors an harmonious setting combining the old and the new for those who appreciate nature, art and sport.
The completely converted farmhouse, which still maintains its original structure, is situated on a 100 hectare farm run by three young brothers. The 10 separate apartments created within the main complex of buildings all have attic rooms and independent central heating. Each has been elegantly and tastefully fitted and furnished to offer every modern, up to date convenience. The large restaurant dining room with veranda offers local and seasonal specialities, plus an fireplace for cooking tasty grilled meats and a wood-fired oven for pizzas.
Podere Giulio can accommodate a maximum of 30 people in 10, 52 m2 mini-apartments with separate entrances. Created within the main group of buildings, they are elegantly and tastefully fitted and furnished to offer every modern, up to date convenience.
Each apartment is equipped with: TV Fridge Podere Giulio can accommodate a maximum of 30 people in 10, 52 m2 mini-apartments with separate entrances.

The excellent breakfast in traditional Maremma style prepares our guests for the day ahead in the countryside: sport, relaxation, walks, a visit to our farm, fishing, the beach…
In fact, guests can drive bike or walk along the private tree-lined avenue (approx. 1 km ) that links the 10 mini-apartments with the farm's pine-woods ( approx. 2 ha), which is ideal for days of reading and relaxation. Natural foopaths cross the pine-woods and lead down to the open beach
On our 100 hectare farm we raise livestock and produce organically grown crops on land that runs from the farmhouse down to the sea. Here time seems to stand still! The holiday mood in combination with the glorious Maremma coastal countryside will take you back in time.
Close by is a golf course (3km) and horse-riding school (2km)
Our farm accommodation is unique because guests can go directly to the beach without leaving the farm premises. Days can be filled with swimming, walks along the beach or in the Open air solarium
Also available: underwater fishing, surfing, skin-diving. We are situated between Riva dei Tarquini and pian di spille, a coast well-known in the Viterbo area for its 10 km of unspoilt beach, dunes and splendid Mediterranean pine-woods
Peace reigns here in the land of the sun and the sea A clean calm sea for an unforgettable holiday N.B. Available for all our guests:

Every day our trusted team works to turn fresh Maremma produce into the quality associated with Podere Giulio catering.Gabriella, the mother of the family, supervises the work with her two other sons Sandro and Pietro who also manage the farm with Pierluigi.
Our cooking is based above all on genuine ingredients and the pleasure of preparing local dishes.
…starters: based on various local preserved meats and cheeses and a vast assortment of organic vegetables grown on the farm which are served "au gratin", baked and in oil. We also serve bruschette, (toasted bread rubbed with oil and garlic) with various special toppings.
……From the kitchen
…First courses… fettuccine and pappardelle pasta…potato gnocchi… ravioli maremmani…crepes 'hunters' style'. These dishes are all homemade and prepared daily with dedication and patience. Accompanying meat sauces reflect our local traditions … beef… wild boar… hare… duck… And again, seasonal vegetables ….. porcini mushrooms …Ferlenghi mushrooms…asparagus… courgette Flowers…courgettes …ETC.Second courses … lamb, pork, rabbit, chicken, veal - mostly from our own animals and served in assorted ways: roasted, hunters' style and grilled. Yes, grilled in the enormous fireplace in our dining room so that excellent meats can be served to suit every taste.
…Side dishes… these will satisfy any vegetarian; we have no problem at all providing vegetables……desserts… we have to mention Grandmother Elizabetta's recipe, our special ity dessert which helps give a strong sense of unity to our farm and is known by all our clients. There is also tiramisu', pannacotta and zuppa inglese.…From the pizzeria …for all pizza-lovers, all kinds of pizza can be ordered for Dinner, made by the capable hands of Pierluigi and cooked in our marvellous wood-fired oven.
And everything, of course, is inspired by the simplest, most genuine Maremma traditions.

December 21, 1998
Prior to last spring, Zachary Johnson of Bothell was a typically active fifteen-year-old who especially enjoyed playing football and baseball for his local junior high school. In April of '98, he had routine surgery to remove his appendix, but following the procedure, his legs swelled, causing him considerable discomfort.
Various tests were done and doctors discovered that a blood clot was the source of the swelling. The clot was extensive and went from Zach's groin area all the way to his right foot. Further testing resulted in a diagnosis of Activated Protein C Resistance, a rare disease only recently discovered in 1994.
Apparently, the appendix surgery had triggered this condition in Zach. Within a very short time, the clot grew in size, and over the summer it continued to spread, eventually reaching his heart.
Daily doses of blood thinners were administered, but this didn't appear to work. Doctors advised a special surgery involving opening and cleaning out the veins for increased circulation. They told Zach and his mother, Becky Johnson, that this surgery is life-saving and if Zach didn't have the operation, his major organs could clot off and he could possibly die.
Currently, this surgery is only being done at Stanford Medical Center in California. It has been successful on the fifteen or so patients who have previously undergone the procedure, so the prognosis for Zach is favorable, if he has the operation.
Doctors at Stanford will have to shut Zach's circulation down to do the surgery and the whole procedure takes approximately twelve hours to complete. If it is successful, he will be able to live a normal life, but will still need to continue to take blood thinners.
Becky and Zach went to Stanford this past October with the understanding that their insurance company, Regence Blue Shield, had approved the surgery. At the last minute, the company informed them that the operation was rejected.
"Zach and I were devastated," said Becky. "They told me it was denied because it was considered an 'investigative' procedure. I was in tears, but the company was unwilling to change their mind. We had to return home to face the day-to-day fears once again. Zach ended up in ICU because of problems with the clot getting to his lungs. I decided to appeal to my family, friends, neighbors, and people of goodwill to help me in my campaign to raise sufficient funds to offset the cost of the surgery."
Becky is a single mom with four children between the ages of twelve and nineteen, and she went from working full-time to part-time and then had to quit completely in order to help take care of her son.
For Zach, being on bed rest off and on since last spring has been frustrating and difficult. "My leg is always hurting and I have to stay in bed most of the time," says Zach. "The doctors are afraid that the clots will go to my brain if I move around a lot. It's been boring being in bed and I miss school and my friends and doing sports. I just want to have the surgery and get better."
Zach's siblings, two brothers and a sister, have all been helpful in this time of crisis, but the family has certainly been under considerable strain and hardship. "I just have to take one day at a time because it's all I can deal with," commented Becky. "Zach has been incredible throughout it all. He's such a sweet, loving, and giving boy."
This story, however, will hopefully have a happy ending. Just recently, Regence Blue Shield decided to cover part of the costs for the surgery, based on additional information from doctors.
Zach and his mother have already flown down to Stanford for the operation, and Becky has asked the community to pray for a successful outcome for Zach. Meeting her part of the financial obligations will still be very tough, so she appreciates any donations towards this cause.

Kim Bolton is a seasoned minister with years of experience, and her personality and talent are a great source of encouragement to women everywhere she goes. With the release of her book Conversations at the Girlville Diner, Kim Bolton and "Girlville" now go hand-in-hand as a place to receive a heaping helping of humor and hope.
Kim wants to take your women to Girlville, a place of hope, where she reminds women that we have hope in life – no matter what surrounds us – because we serve a mighty God who cares, who knows us by name (Isaiah 45:3), who understands the desires of our heart (1 Chronicles 28:9), who knew us even before we were formed in our mother's womb (Jeremiah 1:5). Kim communicates this HOPE through her ability of blending humorous true-to-life stories with the truth of God's Word in a style that ministers to the needs of a woman's heart. The wife of Tony Bolton and mother of four children, Kim relates well to the desires and demands placed on women today.
Worship as you never have before as Kim glorifies God in story and song. Kim combines the best of innovative musical sound through her musicianship, worship, and original songs. You'll quickly discover the heart of a psalmist.
Kim is one of the finest singers in Christian music today, and described by CCM magazine as a "vocalist extraordinaire". Whether from the center stage speaking or at the piano leading worship, Kim knows how to usher her audience into God's presence, a place to be encouraged and renewed.
Kim has ministered with Ann Graham Lotz, Kerri Pomarolli, Annie Chapman, Kay Arthur, Liz Curtis Higgs, Karen Kingsbury, Sheila Walsh, Jennifer Rothschild, Lisa Welchel, Point of Grace, Lucy Swindoll, Donna Partow, Babbie Mason, Alicia Williamson, Kim Hill, Joy Williams, Crystal Lewis and a host of others.

If Scammers Are Intentionally Ripping Off Gayborhood ATMs, Is It A Hate Crime?
Heh. Probably not! But gays living in D.C.'s Dupont Circle are on alert after learning a local Wachovia ATM was hacked to steal debit card information from unknowing customers. The scam, which involves a mix of videotaping your PIN number as you enter it and catching the magnetic strip of your ATM card as you insert it, went down at at the bank's ATM at 1447 P St. NW. And so far, a number of Washington-area homosexuals have seen their accounts drained of $500 a day until the balances dropped to zero. (Unnervingly, Wachovia won't say on which dates the scams took place, which might help alert folks they need to check their bank records, if they knew they used an ATM in the area that day.)

ICO remains unsequelled
Whilst the imaginative and unusual ICO won't be getting a sequel this year on the PS2, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe today refused to rule out an ICO 2 at some point in the future - which will come as at least some encouragement to the game's cult following. Of course, the original Amazon listing for a pre-order title called NICO (believed to be the sequel so desired) did have fans in hysteria - however Sony were quick to dismiss this.
"SCEE has yet to announce any official information related to the sequel of ICO, but we can confirm that such game will not be launching in 2004 for Europe," a spokesman commented, before tantalisingly adding "ICO has been a cherished favourite amongst PS2 gamers and we realise that a second instalment is eagerly anticipated worldwide."
Finally, the UK's Eurogamer.net were told to "Watch this space." Hopefully more soon, then. We'll keep you informed.

Is Congress Getting Ready to Take on Patent Trolls?
The Congressional Research Service (CRS), the research division of Congress known for its objective studies, recently released a report on the effects of patent trolls on innovation and the economy. The study (PDF) presents a pretty thorough analysis of the patent troll problem, but what's striking is its existence at all: Could it be that Congress is really starting to pay attention when it comes to fixing the broken patent system?
Patent trolls are litigious entities that don't usually create new products or come up with new ideas. Instead, they buy up patents and use them offensively. Armed with often overbroad and vague patents, the trolls send out threatening letters to those they argue are infringing. According to the CRS report, "The vast majority of defendants settle because patent litigation is risky, disruptive, and expensive, regardless of the merits; and many [patent trolls] set royalty demands strategically well below litigation costs to make the business decision to settle an obvious one." Businesses lose both time and money, and innovation suffers.
We've known for some time just how much of a problem patent trolls pose. Last summer, This American Life made patent trolls mainstream with an extremely popular episode that covered such trolls' crusades against innvovation. Just recently, members of Congress introduced the SHIELD Act, legislation that would create a fee-shifting system, helping destroy any incentives behind trolls' frivolous lawsuits. And now publication of this CRS report shows that the patent troll problem is still on the minds of those with the power to fix it.
Without a doubt, [patent trolls] both add to and subtract from the incentives of patent law, but the FTC and many experts in the field indicate that they currently do more harm than good to innovation and the patent system. The extent of this imbalance—and whether Congress could or should recalibrate it to 'support the beneficial effects, and lessen the detrimental ones'—remains unclear, however.
These conclusions throughout the report reinforce why, now more than ever, it is important to give your feedback to our Defend Innovation campaign.
Here's the thing: if Congress is truly paying attention, we need to make sure they are getting the full story—and that's where our Defend Innovation project and you come in. Go to the site and check out our proposals. Let us know if you agree with them or if you have something better in mind. Once we've collected your feedback, comments, and stories—and we've had over 13,000 participants so far—we are going to bring them to D.C. and let Congress know exactly who is affected, how the system is flawed, and what they can do to really fix it.
