How To Solve a Problem Like Grid Stability
Inertia has provided frequency stability since the introduction of synchronous generators in the first AC electricity networks. But as we increase the role of non-synchronous generation in the grid, we face a system-stability challenge.
The Power of Solar Power
The exponential growth of solar power highlights the transformative potential of solar energy. To realise this potential, we must address critical infrastructure challenges at the substation level to ensure that increased production translates into usable energy and reduces curtailment.
Transforming Energy with Distributed Ledger Technology
A number of companies are currently developing new innovations, using distributed ledger technology (DLT), that can offer real-world value. ENODA is one of these companies - advancing DLT to more effectively manage and stabilise energy systems.
Maximising the Benefits of the Electrical Grid
Efficiency and effectiveness of the electrical grid is a function of its ability to deliver an optimal AC waveform to consumers. In this paper Andrew argues that the problem an Enoda PRIME® Exchanger addresses is the need to coordinate actions to create this optimal waveform, which can benefit everyone in the system.
How to Solve a Problem Like Energy Security
The UK is falling behind on most of its energy security objectives. New technologies which could transform electricity grids are arriving. How will they contribute to our energy security?
A Stark Reality for the Energy Transition
The ANC's historic defeat in South Africa, is in part, due to the socio-economic impact of having a dangerously unstable energy system. The rest of the world should take note.
Value, and the Value of Energy
A system that matches supply and demand to maximise the utility of energy, ensures the lowest marginal cost of electricity. This brings value most to those at the margins. Andrew Scobie discusses this and more in his latest article for us.
A Solution of Best Fit
In his latest article, Founder and Chief Technology & Product Officer, Andrew Scobie, explores design constraints in the physics, and how we overcome these with technology.
General Purpose Technologies
What is a general purpose technology and why are they relevant for our energy system? Andrew Scobie explores this relationship in depth, in his latest article.
How to Solve a Problem
ENODA’s Founder and Chief Technology & Product Officer, Andrew Scobie, looks at problem solving and how valuable change can occur when design is optimised and fit for purpose.
Design at ENODA
In part two of our new series, ENODA’s Founder and Chief Technology & Product Officer, Andrew Scobie, discusses ENODA’s design principles - optimising the relationship between information, matter and energy.
Innovation Zero
An opinion article by ENODA’s Head of Government & Regulatory Affairs, Anna Bazley, exploring the policy landscape that will enable the innovation to achieve Net Zero.
ENODA’s Purpose
ENODA’s Founder and Chief Technology & Product Officer, Andrew Scobie, begins a new series, looking at the science, philosophy and economics behind why ENODA exists, and the fundamental importance of its technology.
Do Women in Energy need a STEM Background to be Successful?
I think about what is required to be successful in energy from an innovator’s, or entrepreneur’s perspective. And the principle applies to many other sectors. When you see a problem that people need a solution to, and you have a solution to that problem, sometimes it’s better not to see all the hurdles to delivery or else some wouldn’t dare.
Introduction of Enoda PRIME Exchanger: the integration of optimal passive design with complex control
ENODA provides a system which is agnostic to the nature of supply and demand. To do that though, there needs to be one fundamental enabling technology. It has to sit in the location of the transformer just as the router sits in the former location of switch in telephone exchanges, and they both transform the nature of those networks.
Combating Climate Change…
The COP28 climate summit opens in today, yet it is already clear that the world is not on track to meet the climate change targets that governments set themselves in Paris in 2015.
Review of PreCOP28
A review of the PreCOP28 panel discussion on “Energy grids and the electricity system in the face of the challenges of transformation”. What were the key takeaways? How can technology and systems thinking deliver the solution to the energy trilemma?
New tech sets the agenda for Europe’s energy transition
The International Energy Agency (IEA), European Central Bank (ECB) and European Investment Bank (EIB), recently laid out the intellectual justification for an EU alternative to the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Two clear themes emerged, but what do they argue should be done?
Karpacz Economic Forum 2023
Enoda’s Policy & Global Affairs team were invited to join a panel at the 2023 Economic Forum, hosted by Réka Szemerkényi. Following the event, Anna Bazley sat down with Réka and Paul Domjan to delve further into the main topics from the conference.
Unravelling the UK's Failed Offshore Wind Auction
Given that wind energy is pivotal to the UK's ambitious net-zero targets, what led to no interest in the offshore wind contracts in a recent auction?
