Scandinavia - a hotbed of smart grid innovation
Scandinavia is a hotbed of innovative smart grid projects, the result of groundbreaking partnerships between energy companies, technology providers and energy experts. As the concept of smart energy continues to evolve, the traditional approach to centralised energy production and consumption is constantly challenged.


“There is a near real-time fully operational smart grid. It is here already, fully functional and tested.”

Exclusive interview with Paroshen Naidoo of Util Labs: the company that monitored the energy consumption at COP17

You were at COP17 last year, tell us about the energy monitoring you did there?
We featured at the COP17 working with the organisers of the Climate Change Response Expo (CCRE) and used this as a springboard to showcase one of our latest releases, the Consumer Consumption Console. We installed our devices at the temporary supply points at the CCR Expo which measured and stored details of the consumption per phase in real time. The area and expo was wired such that we measured the different marquees and different loads separately. This gave the organisers the power to make decisions in line with reducing peak consumption and total consumption, in turn minimising their carbon footprint as a result of electricity usage.


EVs - how to narrow the gap between consumer expectations and their actual needs?
According to a major consumer survey, more than half of all Europeans, given the right infrastructure, would opt for an electric car as their new car. They expect the number of kilometers for a fully charged battery to be 437, although the actual needs are different: the average number of kilometers driven every day is only 52.


Unlocking Scandinavia’s full smart energy potential
By Aida Mezit, Conference Manager, Synergy Events

Scandinavia is one of the pioneering regions in ‘smart energy’, with some of the highest levels of renewable power globally. It has championed smart meters and smart grid developments, with local utilities seen as the world’s leaders in innovative schemes in consumer engagement and integration of smart devices.


Is the rest of Europe lagging behind the Nordics in smart energy?
Smart grid is seen by many as rewriting the energy rule book, in the way energy is produced, managed and consumed and is intricately linked to the integration of large scale renewables, wind and solar in particular.
