In this episode, Cisco Champions and the Cisco expert explore the affordable world of remanufactured Cisco products. You'll learn what remanufactured means, how it's different from refurbished, and where the real value opportunities are for customers that buy remanufactured products. In addition, you'll learn where this equipment is sourced, how it's rehabbed, who can sell it, and the average shipping timeline. We also explore the surprise sustainability upside that remanufactured products bring to the table, and we share a couple of real-world examples of how both large and small companies are putting remanufactured goods to work for maximum upside. Questions addressed -What type of products are available? -How does equipment become part of the Cisco Refresh pool? -How does a partner or customer know what's in stock? -Do customers need to specifically ask for Cisco Refresh? -Is the equipment always older? Or is newer gear available in the program? -What happens when equipment is returned? -What are some of the assurances consumers receive when going through Cisco Refresh versus some gray market provider? -What is the warranty and service contract eligibility? -Can you only get equipment that is only supported by Cisco? Or do they sell end-of-life or end-of-service gear? -What are the support options? Is it fully supported by SmartNet? -What's on the horizon for Cisco Refresh? -What are some of the limitations?

In questa puntata intervisto Francesco Matteuzzi - SmartNet Product Manager per l'Italia presso Leica Geosystems - che ci parla della rete di stazioni GNSS permanenti Hexagon SmartNet.Per una misura satellitare di precisione è necessario conoscere la posizione di due ricevitori e misurare il vettore "base" ("baseline").Una rete di stazioni permanenti ti permette di sfruttare una serie di basi fisse, sul territorio nazionale, con cui comunicare per misurare la posizione del tuo rover in campo ed in tempo reale (RTK).La rete SmartNet - che forse conosci con il vecchio nome di "Italpos" - fa questo (e qualcosa in più) e Francesco ci spiega il suo funzionamento, la sua infrastruttura, le sue caratteristiche ed i suoi piani di abbonamento, il tutto condito con un po' di nozioni sul principio della misura satellitare.Questo è il portale italiano di riferimento per il servizio nazionale di Hexagon SmartNet: https://hxgnsmartnet.com/it-itScrivimi su Telegram: t.me/paolocorradeghiniIscriviti al canale Telegram di 3DMetrica: t.me/tredimetricaLeggi gli articoli ed iscriviti alla newslettere sul blog: www.3dmetrica.itDiventa un finanziatore e sostieni economicamente 3DMetrica su Patreon: www.patreon.com/3dmetricaIn questa puntata ho inserito queste musiche:"V" by Weary Eyes from Fugue;"Once the clouds lift" by Weary Eyes from Fugue;"Your battles are over" by Weary Eyes from Fugue.
Why do TSOs and DSOs need to cooperate more than in the past? Viviana Vitto, Head of Market Studies and Strategic Analysis at Enel Global Infrastructure and Networks, joins Joana Freitas, Ambassador of the Lights on Women initiative of the FSR, to discuss how the energy transition is shaping the need and configuration of TSO/DSO coordination. In Viviana’s perspective, decentralized generation, electrification and electric vehicles are growing at a fast pace and, given this new context, “TSOs and DSOs have just not the need but the responsibility to cooperate in order to rethink the energy system”. In fact, several European grid operators have been participating in TSO/DSO coordination pilots, as CoordiNet and SmartNet. The Clean Energy Package also paves the way to a closer cooperation between TSOs and DSOs. One of the measures determined by this package is the creation of a DSO entity, which, in Viviana’s view, “will play an important role to implement this cooperation and identifying the needs of the future system”. Vivana also notes that regulation is one of the key enablers of TSO/DSO coordination – “[TSO/DSO coordination] cannot be fast enough without the supportive regulatory framework”. While the electricity system is evolving at a fast pace, driving TSOs and DSOs to cooperate more than in the past...we need to keep all the options open for the time being”.

Long-lasting insecticidal bednets, or LLINs for short, are an integral part of the global effort to fight malaria, with the WHO recommending that everyone, all 3.4 billion people, at risk of malaria should have access to one. But how effective are they? To try and understand how bednets are being used in the field, a team of researchers led by Paul Krezanoski of the University of California have developed the so-called SmartNet, a remote bednet monitor. I speak to Paul about the unreliable mechanisms of monitoring bednet use and the technology behind the SmartNet.
At the SmartNet Project Final Workshop in Arona, we had the chance to interview Peter Nemcek from Cybergrid, one of the Advisory Board members of the SmartNet project. In this podcast, Peter underlines that the promising results of the SmartNet and its pilot projects prove that we can address the most important issues raised by intermittent renewables and this takes us one big step closer to better coordination between TSO and DSO and the future of energy markets.

Why testing five different TSO-DSO coordination schemes? In the context of the Horizon2020 SmartNet Project Final Workshop in Arona, the FSR Director, Jean-Michel Glachant interviews Helena Gerard (Vito) on the five coordination schemes analysed by the project to learn more about the SmartNet research and its final outcomes. The SmartNet project aimed to provide optimised instruments and modalities to improve the coordination between the grid operators at national and local level (respectively the TSOs and DSOs) and the exchange of information for monitoring and for the acquisition of ancillary services (reserve and balancing, voltage balancing control, congestion management) from subjects located in the distribution segment (flexible load and distributed generation).

The EU-funded SmartNet project http://fsr.eui.eu/event/smartnet-workshop-series/ organised in Florence (24 to 26 October) aimed to present the recent development of this research project and get feedback from different participants (TSOs/DSOs, regulators and utilities) on topics related to the coordination between TSOs and DSOs for the access to flexibility services. In this podcast, Athir Nouicer (FSR) interviews David Ziegler from Germany, a participant of the first day of the workshop, to share with you some insights from the project and also how the project could feed the EU regulations; Clean Energy Package and Network Codes. Different TSO-DSO coordination schemes were compared with reference to three national cases (Italian, Danish, and Spanish) against a set of metrics: mFRR, aFRR cost and ICT cost as well as CO2 emissions and unexpected congestions. This aims to reduce the project complexity and provide a straightforward cost-benefit analysis (CBA) of the different alternatives. In addition, three physical pilots were implemented to demonstrate the modalities for exchanging monitoring and control signals between TSOs, DSOs and flexibility providers.
The EU-funded SmartNet project is attracting interest from Europe and beyond. Professor Luis Ochoa (https://bit.ly/2Pj4pRa), from the University of Melbourne (Australia), joined the workshop http://fsr.eui.eu/event/smartnet-workshop-series/ organised in Florence to explore the latest novelties on related topics with a global relevance: the integration of the growing number of distributed energy resources (DER) and the coordination of transmission and distribution electricity systems. In this podcasts with Nicolò Rossetto (FSR), Professor Ochoa reflects on the difficulty of addressing the issue, especially considering the growing expectation to use DER not only to supply flexibility to the transmission system, but also to provide flexibility to the local grid. Market-based integration of DER requires coordination of the market at the local level with the market at the transmission (wholesale) level, taking into account the numerous issues that arise when dealing with low voltages and radial grids. Australia, a country with one of the highest penetration of residential PV in the world, is particularly sensitive to this issue. Aggregators and platforms for DER to access the market are emerging, but for the moment they address only the wholesale market. “Local markets” do not yet exists.
In the context of the public workshop held on 20 June in Brussels, Athir Nouicer (FSR) interviewed Dr. Tomás Gómez San Román, Professor at Comillas Pontifical University, about the impacts of the SmartNet project on the future of electricity markets. SmartNet has three pilot projects (in Italy, Denmark and Spain) that address technical issues related to system operation and test the different TSO/DSO coordination schemes, which can be hard to assess even for regulators. Dr. Tomás Gómez highlighted the need to improve TSO/DSO cooperation to ease access to flexibility services located in distribution grids, and emphasised the challenges of integrating market and networks models in these kinds of research projects. The added value of the SmartNet project is providing insights for the development of a legal framework in Europe. More information on the SmartNet Project can be found at: http://smartnet-project.eu/.
Before the start of the SmartNet workshop in Brussels on the 20 June, Nicolò Rossetto (FSR) had the opportunity to talk with Gianluigi Migliavacca (RSE) about the importance of the project and the insights that it is expected to provide to policy-makers, regulators, network companies, and market players. SmartNet is testing different coordination mechanisms for the efficient and secure management of distributed energy resources as providers of ancillary services to the electricity system. Three pilot projects are underway, respectively in Italy, Spain and Denmark, with the involvement of TSOs, DSOs, aggregators, research institutes, energy consumers, etc. Next October, detailed results on the pilot projects and the research promoted within SmartNet will be presented in Florence. More information on the SmartNet Project can be found at: http://smartnet-project.eu/.
In the context of the public workshop held on 20 June in Brussels, N. Rossetto (FSR) interviewed SmartNet team member H. Madsen (DTU) to discuss the importance and impact of SmartNet pilot project B. The pilot is based in Denmark, where the abundance of wind energy requires a smart approach to achieve decarbonisation of the power sector efficiently. In such a context, the electricity load from final customers must contribute and provide flexibility to the system. As a part of the pilot, the heated swimming pools of thirty summerhouses are managed so that they can provide ancillary services when the electricity grid faces difficulties in dealing with renewable production. Active participation of the demand side is key to foster the energy transition and can lead to significant savings for the final customer. However, in order for this to happen, policy-makers and regulators need to act: smart behaviours by network operators and market actors may not materialise without proper network tariffs and energy taxation.

In the context of the public workshop held on 20 June in Brussels, Athir Nouicer (FSR) interviewed Helena Gerard, Senior Researcher at VITO/EnergyVille, for insight on the five TSO-DSO coordination schemes analysed by the SmartNet Project. A Horizon 2020 funded project, SmartNet attempts to find answers and propose new practical solutions to the integration of growing renewable energy sources (RES) in the existing European electricity network. The project aims to provide optimised instruments and modalities to improve the coordination between grid operators at national and local level, and to advance the exchange of information for monitoring the acquisition of ancillary services from resources located in the distribution grids. With the development of renewables and the electrification of energy end-uses, the electricity system requires more flexibility. At the same time, more flexible resources are available at the local level. As argued in the interview, a smart allocation of these flexibility resources between the system operators will be essential for the achievement of the European energy policy goals.

These are exciting times in the role of energy, the way people produce and consume is changing in front of our eyes…” and that’s where Lynne Mc Donald (UK Power Networks), who joined the Advisory Board of the SmartNet Project in Glasgow, sees the benefit of the SmartNet project. The SmartNet project arises from the need to find answers and propose new practical solutions to the increasing integration of Renewable Energy Sources in the existing electricity transmission network. The subsequent technological (r)evolution is not only affecting the structure of the electricity markets, but also the interactions between TSOs and DSOs. Learn more on the project here: http://smartnet-project.eu
What lessons from the SmartNet Project? Interviews with the stakeholders #1: Andrew Burgess (CEER, OFGEM) ‘What is interesting of the SmartNet project is that it’s looking at difficult issues in detail and it’s trialling them to see what works’ Highlights from the SmartNet Project Advisory Board (Glasgow - February 2018) The EU Horizon2020 funded SmartNet project arises from the need to find answers and propose new practical solutions to the increasing integration of Renewable Energy Sources in the existing electricity transmission network. http://smartnet-project.eu/
Enrico Maria Carlini, head of Management and engineering of the electric system at the Italian power TSO, Terna Recorded 26 January 2016 in Milan at the SmartNet project kick-off meeting, in this interview by Ilaria Conti, Research and Policy Coordinator from the Florence School of Regulation, Enrico Maria Carlini talks about the evolution of the roll of TSOs and DSOs and tells us what the SmartNet project means to Terna. “The project (SmartNet) is very important for us, for the transmission operator point of view, taking into account that dispersed generation is now more or less 22 or 25% of the total energy produced in Italy” “Looking at the future of course, we have more integration between TSOs and DSOs, particularly on the real time information that we need to exchange”
