IEA ISGAN Annual Report 2020 released

A particular challenge encountered during 2020 was to ensure that ISGAN continued to work successfully together as a network, despite the many challenges encountered during the COVID-19 pandemic. Amongst many issues, this made the familiar ways of working simply impossible and new approaches had to be found. The overall success of ISGAN activites in 2020 reflects the network ability to manage and operate despite these great challenges, testifying the strengths and cohesion of this TCP.

Our Work

ISGAN emphasizes the importance of strong, reliable, resilient, flexible, and affordable power grids, supported by the digitalization of the electricity system for achievement of goals on the “grid edge” (e.g., integration of EVs, RE, energy storage, and demand side management)

Call for pilot projects on digitalisation for flexible and resilient energy systems

Following up on the 2019 Climate Action Summit, the Italian Ministry of Ecological Transition (IMET) in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is launching a call for pilot projects on digitalisation for flexible and resilient energy systems.

ISGAN-GSEF Joint Webinar : ‘System Challenges and Opportunities in Electric Vehicle Integration with the Grid’

27th Oct 2021 14:00(CEST) - The webinar will discuss the Vehicle to Grid (V2G) technology evolution and its present status across the globe in the global perspective. It will also discuss the challenges in rollout of V2G functionality and Incentives for the EV owners to participate. In addition to this the advantages and challenges of V2G as Ancillary Services for grid support what enables EV charging load to switch to off-peak hours will be discussed with Renewable Energy Integration (REI) and Battery Energy Storage (BES).
