Energy OSI, an Agile Fractal Grid advocate, joins leadership effort to standardize and expand use of Hybrid AC/DC and DC microgrids and provide professional training workshops
Alexandria, VA, USA, November 12, 2020 – The EMerge Alliance – an open industry association leading the rapid adoption of safe, direct-current (DC) and hybrid AC/DC power distribution standards for buildings, homes, campuses and communities – today announced the addition of Pennsylvania based Energy One Solutions International, makers of the e-One platform for economic optimization, forecasting algorithms and energy analytics for microgrids, to its Governing Board.
Representing Energy OSI will be Kevin Meagher, a Principal of the company. After more than 15 years working on the application of real-time analytics and advanced modeling which led to the introduction of the first Energy Digital Twin, Meagher is now focused on the introduction and expansion of the Digital Twin into the energy markets, as well as continuing its expansion in the power industry. He is widely recognized as an industry leader of market transformation that optimizes the physics of energy and the economics of energy markets.
EMerge Chairman Brian Patterson, said “We look forward to the kind of groundbreaking thought leadership that Kevin and his associates will bring to EMerge. He and the Energy OSI team will bring about a new and much needed modelling, control, and analytics perspective to EMerge and the electric power community we serve. EMerge’s strategic focus is well aligned with Energy OSI. We have the common goal of enabling safely delivered, cleaner, affordable, and reliable energy, by applying sound physics and economics to the use of cleaner and more diverse renewable sources of energy in an increasingly networked environment.
“In addition to gaining a seat on EMerge’s Board, Energy OSI will also lead a new initiative in our organization’s training and information effort,” announced EMerge President, Tom Osterman. “As part of our mission to provide information and education, EMerge is launching a new continuing education series of professional training workshops on microgrids conducted by Energy OSI via the Solar Energy Industry Association and Smart Electric Power Alliancesponsored Solar Power Events organization, producers of Solar Power International (SPI) and Energy Storage International (ESI), SPI, ESI, and North America Smart Energy Week is the largest gathering of solar, energy storage, hydrogen, fuel cell, microgrid, electric vehicle, and wind energy professionals in North America and an extensive portfolio of other regional events.
The monthly Continuing Education workshops, starting in December 2020, will focus on scalable processes for Modelling Nano/Microgrids for Resilience, Islanding Capabilities, Reliability and Energy Markets and will feature Kevin Meagher and Pietro Manni as the principal instructors. “We’re pleased to be joining the effort to enable advanced, distributed, intelligent microgrids to be integrated into, and become a seminal part of, a more resilient and sustainable power grid,” said Meagher. “As developers of scalable, repeatable, cyber secured energy platforms for broad market application that maximize the economic value of distributed energy resources our staff has become subject matter experts in this emerging field and we hope to share our insight and expertise with others in the industry through our involvement in EMerge.”
