What AI means for the energy transition in the electricity industryWelcome to a special episode of Wood Mackenzie's The Energy Gang, recorded at the Distributech 2024 conference in Orlando. Distributech is the leading event in North America for the electricity transmission and distribution industry. It provides a fantastic opportunity to talk to the companies that provide technology for moving and managing electricity, and to the utilities and other companies that use that technology.The impact of artificial intelligence is one of the central themes of the conference, and host Ed Crooks has been meeting industry leaders to discuss the implications of AI and other new technologies for the future of electricity. From the need for more power to supply data centers for AI applications, to the potential for AI tools for managing the grid, to the possible breakthroughs in nuclear power that could be discovered using AI, the speakers explore a vast range of possibilities. Hussein Shel, chief technologist for AWS (Amazon Web Services), talks about both the opportunities and the challenges of the new types of AI. Zack Kass, a futurist who was formerly a senior executive at OpenAI, discusses the prospect of an age of “energy abundance” that could be unlocked by sophisticated AI. He argues that abundance, possibly provided by nuclear fusion power, will be the way that the world can meet the increased demand for power created by advanced AI systems. Quinn Nakayama, the senior director of Grid Research Innovation and Development at the California utility PG&E, talks about the practical decisions involved in adopting AI technologies in today's utilities. Tom Deitrich, chief executive of Itron, a supplier of technologies for utilities and cities to manage energy, water and traffic, joins Ed to discuss the increasingly urgent need for more advanced technologies in grid management. And finally, Anthony Allard, the head of Hitachi Energy's North American business, talks about what they have been hearing from their customers in terms of two critical issues in the industry: the progress of digitalization, and shortages of critical equipment in the supply chain.You can find us on most platforms: we're @theenergygang.

According to a guidebook issued by Sandia National Laboratories, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) multi-mission laboratory, microgrids are defined as a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources (DERs) that act as a single controllable entity. A microgrid can operate in either grid-connected or island mode, which includes some entirely off-grid applications. A microgrid can span multiple properties, generating and storing power at a dedicated/shared location, or it can be contained on one privately owned site. The latter condition, where all generation, storage, and conduction occur on one site, is commonly referred to as “behind-the-meter.” Microgrids come in a wide variety of sizes. Behind-the-meter installations are growing, especially as entities like hospitals and college campuses are installing their own systems. Where some once served a single residence or building, many now power entire commercial complexes and large housing communities. “Today, there's a whole new way to do DER management, which is a significant component of microgrids,” Nick Tumilowicz, director of Product Management for Distributed Energy Management with Itron, said as a guest on The POWER Podcast. “There is a way now to do that in a very local, automated, and cost-effective way just by leveraging what utilities have already deployed—hundreds of thousands of meters and the mesh networks that are communicating with those meters.” Tumilowicz said a variety of factors can influence if and/or when a microgrid gets deployed. Sometimes, a company is focused on running cleaner and greener operations. Other times, the grid a company is connected to may have reliability challenges that are affecting business adversely, or the company may just want to be energy independent, so the decision is frequently case specific. “The customer has this motivation to have this backup concept known as resiliency—if the grid's not there for me, I'll be there for me,” he said. “Generally speaking, nationally, we're well above 99.9% grid reliability,” Tumilowicz noted. Yet, even when power outages are rare, a microgrid can still provide value. “It can provide flexible services, such as capacity or resource adequacy, or energy services back to the distribution and the transmission up to the market operator level,” explained Tumilowicz. “So, this is a whole other way to be able to start thinking about how we participate with microgrids when 99-plus percent of the time they're grid connected, but they're also there for when the grid is not connected—in that very low probability of time.” However, the return on investment for microgrid systems is highly affected by location. “If you're in Australia, the equation is different than if you're in Hawaii, versus if you're in the northeast U.S.—one of the better-known accelerated paybacks to do this,” said Tumilowicz. For example, in areas where the market operator, such as an independent system operator or regional transmission organization, places a high value on peak power reductions within its system, the economics for microgrid owners can be greatly improved. But regardless of what may have driven the initial decision to create a microgrid, Tumilowicz said being flexible is important. “You might deploy your microgrid to satisfy three use cases and market mechanisms that exist in the beginning of 2024, but you need to be open and receptive—and this is where the innovation comes in—to add use cases over time, because the system is going through a significant energy transition, and you need to be dynamic and accommodating to do that,” he said.

Ron Finley grew up in the Harvard Park area of South Los Angeles, the middle child in a large family. Everyday, school was a battle. Toward the end of high school, he was diagnosed with dyslexia and finally learned to read.When Ron was a teenager, he felt frustrated because “I wanted to have the kind of clothes you see in the movies, but nothing fit right.” With $15 he went to a tailor and got his pants altered. They fit great, but he couldn't afford to keep going to a tailor. When he was 15, he used the family sewing machine to make his own clothes.At 16, he was making clothes for family and friends; when he was 17 he got a scholarship to enroll in the Los Angeles Trade Technical College fashion design program. He bought his first power sewing machine, and in 1984, created DropDead Collecxions, tailored clothes in natural fabrics for men and women that were sold in high-end stores. By 1998 he had completed a 12-week entrepreneurial training class at USC to grow his business, but in 2008 when the recession came, the sales stopped.During that time he Went to the store and saw a tomato with a sign that said “may be coated with shellac” and started noticing a pattern.Ron Got tired of seeing people dying of curable diseases. Got tired of seeing the obesity rate in his neighborhood 5x that of beverly hills, only 8-10 miles awayFinley, who studied gardening in a UC Cooperative Extension class taught by Florence Nishida, later hooked up with Nishida and a couple of other folks to address what they call the food desert in South Los Angeles, where healthful options are in short supply. The group is called L.A. Green Grounds.So he Planted food in the parkway in front of his house, 10ft x 150ftIts owned by the city, but you maintain itSomeone complained. City issued a citation. Then a warrant followed. Because he grew some food in his yard. Think about that.Someone started a petition and got 900 signatures. Issue was dropped and the law changed.In 2017, The house that Ron rents and has established this jam packed garden had gone up for auction and the new owner had tried to evict him. There was a fundraising campaign and over $500,000 was donated for the Ron Finley Project to own the home outrightIn his 2013 TED talk, he explains thatOver 20 million people in the US have to travel more than 3 miles to get fresh food, something not from a canIt's unclear if he started the phrase “Growing your own food is like printing your own money”But I'm pretty sure he Coined the term “plant some shit”So ron started a “plant some money” campaignHe and his group marched a planned route, 3 miles and stopped in front of the Federal Reserve building, and planted some custom made dollars with ron finley's face on itAt plantsomemoney.com you can get your own kit to grow your food at homeTheres a little shovel on one side that has seeds attached to it.Probably what he's known best for is turning an old dresser drawer into a small garden. Got lots of replies and pictures on instagram and facebookHe can't afford to fill the swimming pool in his backyard, so instead of it sitting empty, it's used for growing more plants, teaching classes, hosting presentations, and even some lunches and dinners.He doesn't like using the term guerilla gardening because that implies secrecy and neglect. He wants to garden out in the open and care for itRon tells a story of a mother and her child taking food from his garden around 10:30 at night. He talks with the lady saying that he purposely put it on the street for people to come take and eatThat's the kind of community he's building by making gardening sexy. Becoming a Gangsta Gardener. Not drive thrus and drive bysRon has traveled the world encouraging people to grow their own food that's healthy and free of harmful chemicals.He still resides in Los AngelesFarmHopLife websiteFarmHopLife #20x23projectFarmHopLife Linktreesource 1, source 2, source 3, source 4, source 5, source 6, source 7, source 8image credit: Theo Jemison

Now more than ever, sustainable and flexible building designs are at the forefront of every developer, constructor and owner’s next big project. The return on investments for creating dynamic, intelligent spaces can be "funded" by net-zero, or even net-positive designs that are easier to spec, deploy and commission with smart building technology. You cannot automate that which is not connected, and it is exponentially easier to connect tens of thousands of things using the same design than it is to keep track of duplicate and disparate materials and procedures. A single converged network can power, connect and secure buildings systems with 90W PoE in ways never previously imagined, driving complexity and cost out of projects and simplifying the ongoing operations while creating the smartest and most agile spaces to keep up with the changing world.

Patrick Hamilton joins us to discuss Itron's evolution in the utility industry as well as how their OpenWay Riva Leak Sensor helps utilities better identify where their water is leaking into the ground. Non-revenue water is an increasingly important topic to address in the utility industry. To summarize, it is the difference between how much water is produced by a utility and how much water they end up billing their customers for. While estimates vary by region, these leaks in the distribution network account for an average of 20% of total water produced by U.S. utilities. Patrick shares insight on this growing “epidemic” and how Itron's leak sensing technology has its ears to the ground for where this is happening. We hope you enjoy.

On the Grid is on the road again! Made possible by Itron, Zpryme's Erin Hardick ventured to National Grid in Boston to talk mentorship with energy's leading women. What relationships helped shaped their careers? What advice do they have for the next wave of mentors? Marcy Reed, President of National Grid Massachusetts and Executive Vice President of US Policy & Social Impact, Sharelynn Moore, SVP Networked Solutions Itron, Inc., and Angela O'Connor, Power and Utilities Strategy Consultant, and former Chairman at Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities talk personal experiences, lessons learned, and pass on invaluable wisdom. Follow our podcasts, interviews, and more at www.zpryme.com.

Marina Donovan returned to the podcast to tell us about a report the firm prepared based on surveys of the electric industry and its customers about emergency preparedness. She is vice president of global marketing and public affairs at Itron and shared what the utilities are doing, what their customers perceive them to be doing, and what more can be done as technology helps the industry cope with nature’s wrath to offer the best possible preparedness and resilience.

Itron, is a publicly-traded smart technology company enabling utilities and cities to safely, securely, and reliably deliver critical infrastructure services to communities in more than 100 countries. The company also recently completed its inaugural Smart City Challenge. The competition brought together the cities of London and Glasgow and tech startups to solve difficult city challenges. Itai Dadon, director of smart cities and IoT at Itron advised, “The inaugural Itron Smart City Challenge shows how we are applying technology for a purpose. While these solutions were purpose-built to address specific needs defined by the sponsoring cities, river safety and noise pollution are common concerns for cities worldwide. We invite cities from around the world to collaborate with Itron to launch the next set of open innovation challenges.” Itai Dadon, Itron’s director of smart cities and IoT joins me on my daily tech podcast to talk about the company’s work with London and Glasgow. We also talk about the innovators who participated in the challenge. I learn how The Smart City Challenge showcased how Itron is enabling cities and technology innovators to work together to solve problems and improve citizen wellbeing. Using Itron’s standards-based developer tools, the winning companies created integrated IoT solutions that leverage Itron’s IoT networks in the Cities of Glasgow and London.

In the April episode of Talking Under Water, co-hosts Lauren Baltas and Bob Crossen welcome new co-host Lauren Estes. They discuss water scarcity issues related to their "Day Zero" coverage, including coastal flooding across the U.S., and the effects of PFAS on the environment. Crossen also discusses his experience at Water Week in Washington and the different hot topics covered at the event. Finally, the hosts interview Mark Piesik, director of of sales for water and public power for Itron, and pick his brain on how leak detection and non-revenue water relate to the overarching conversation on water scarcity in the industry.

In an exclusive interview with Gil Gross, the host of We The States, the official podcast of the National Governors Association, Philip Mezey, the president and CEO of Itron, quantifies the significant infrastructure investment needed to keep our nation operational. “Significant parts of our electricity, gas, and water infrastructure have aged very considerably and are beyond their asset life. And, and we hear statistics that are ranging in the trillions of dollars of what it's going to take in order to refresh this infrastructure,” Mr. Mezey observed. “Our quality of life is largely determined by our ability to get access to clean water when we want it and electricity when we need it.” Itron works with utilities and cities to deliver electricity, gas and water resources to communities in more than 100 countries. From Mr. Mezey’s vantage point, underinvestment in infrastructure over decades has created a dilemma for elected leaders now – but one for which technology can help find solutions. Mr. Mezey believes governors will be on the cutting edge of addressing the energy and water challenges we face as a nation. “Governors have tremendous convening power to bring groups like utilities and regulators and consumer advocates and environmental advocates, all kinds of people together to have a much more informed discussion about what opportunities exist and what steps can be taken.” Listen to this fascinating conversation about how state governments, utilities, and consumer groups can unite to preserve and improve our way of life.

Marina Donovan is VP of global marketing and public affairs at Itron, one of the leading technology firms in the smart grid business, even more so for having acquired Silver Spring Networks at the very beginning of 2018, which is where Donovan worked previously and how she came to Itron. Donovan spoke to us about the impressive findings in a massive survey that demonstrated how utility customers see their relationship with their energy providers changing, and the kind of smart city, or as Donovan likes to call it, “smart community,” customers and their utilities want to create. She also spoke about how the Wi-SUN networking standard fits into the movement of open standards that has included Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and how many of the people behind those now classic standards are comitted to Wi-SUN.

We come to you live (in the past) at Itron Utility Week to discuss the intersection of water and electricity with University of Texas Professor Michael Webber. How do water and electricity fuel each other? What can we learn about building for the future from the experiences of the different utilities? All that and more on this jam-packed episode. This episode was sponsored by Itron. Music by bensound.com

This week we talk with David Graham who works for the city of San Diego. We talk about what the roles and goals of cities are in the energy space. We also talk about how innovation is driven by community more than technology (though technology still plays an important role). This podcast was sponsored by Itron.
