Swedish Neutral has developed and patented the “Ground Fault Neutralizer” (GFN), which finally allows to secure economical, condition-based maintenance of a power grid. GFN hardens, secures and manages the grid not only preventing future wild fires, but allows utilities with the ability to eliminate the danger of fault lines, showing where the network weakness is in real time and with great precision allowing for faster maintenance and network recovery with 50% fewer outages. In fact, the GFN is the only system powerful enough to prevent fires caused by power lines. Other measures create other risks or are costlier and have longer implementation times. Fires caused by power lines have caused many fatalities and enormous financial losses as well as huge release of C02. Most of those losses could be avoided with the GFN implemented in the power system.

Extensive testing done in Victoria, Australia indicated that the GFN reduces the risk of fires caused by power lines by at least 10 times.

Teraloop is a grid-scale energy storage system that can provide a future alternative to batteries. Their patented flywheel system is a highly scalable, sustainable and location-agnostic grid-scale energy storage system. The system which can be installed anywhere and can operate underground, is suitable for a range of applications including micro grid use, voltage support, frequency regulation, peak shavings, spinning reserve, load following, arbitrage, transmission & distribution (T&D) upgrade deferral and congestion relief. It will provide an effective solution to many medium to large scale storage applications whilst also helping to reduce the problems of grid congestion and volatility arising from high levels of variable renewable sources in the energy mix.

BrainLit’s BioCentric Lighting™ environments reproduce the natural light that we would be exposed to when outdoors on an optimal day. In our healthy light environments, both wellbeing and efficiency increases. We focus on the four necessary dimensions of Intensity, Direction, Length, and Time to provide true circadian lighting, sustaining the natural rhythm of life. BrainLit’s light environments are under constant development and are created in cooperation with our scientific advisory board. This allows our systems to align with the latest technological and medicinal research. Updated research in light is continually integrated into our BioCentric Lighting™  systems, allowing BrainLit to become a world leader in light environment solutions for human wellbeing.

Built on decades of experience in designing and operating energy systems in several countries, ectogrid™ is a disruptive energy system invention by E.ON. E.ON is one of Europe’s largest utility companies operating in  30+ countries  and serving more than 33 million customers. ectogrid™ is a zero-emission, decentralized heat pump based energy system to smartly supply various energy demands with minimum energy production and environmental impact.  It is the world’s first energy system connecting both heating and cooling thermal flows, from a small scale, such as between few buildings to a large scale in a city quarter. The system distributes energy between neighbors based on real- and historical time information and operates with the same low temperature as the surrounding environment. Thanks to its modular set up, ectogrid™ offers flexible schemes both technically and financially so it can be easily adopted to desired project development phases.

Ecovat is a scale-up from the Netherlands with an innovation energy storage solution, namely the Ecovat. The Ecovat is a thermal energy storage system for large scale district heating systems. It is a big, well insulated, storage tank for storing heat (and cold) for 1,000 to 40,000 households per tank. The tank is filled with water and can be heated up to 95 degrees Celsius (203 F). District heating systems need storage to match the supply of (renewable) energy and the heat demand. Storage can also be used to optimize production capacity and grid capacity. The heat is stored efficiently, with only 10% loss of heat over six months. The tank can be built completely underground and near buildings. There is no visual impact and public space in the city can still be used, for example for parking or a park.
