Globetrans PUC Submission to HECO Energy

HECO must swift its business model to the 21st century. HECO’s Power Supply Improvement Plan (PSIP) currently before the PUC is designed to maximize the utility's current position as a fossil-fuel power producer, extend the life of costly dirty power generation options (including LNG), and all at the expense of solar and other non-polluting power options for the state.

It's a plan that will create additional economic barriers of entry in the adoption of solar by the general public, while rewarding those utility customers who do not adopt solar - a plan that defeats the very goals of clean energy adoption in Hawaii.

Climate

A new NASA simulation of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere provides an ultra-high-resolution look at how key greenhouse gas move around the globe and fluctuate in volume throughout the year, influenced by human activities, seasons, wind and weather,

Last Hours describes a science-based climate scenario where a tipping point to runaway climate change is triggered by massive releases of frozen methane. Methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, has already started to percolate into the open seas and atmosphere from methane hydrate deposits beneath melting arctic ice, from the warming northern-hemisphere tundra, and from worldwide continental-shelf undersea methane pools.

Experts that track sea ice, glaciers, and the Greenland ice sheet are measuring and witnessing a global meltdown as global temperatures rise. There is still time to act, and abundant opportunities to slow and mitigate man-made global warming impacts that are now effecting every living thing on planet Earth.

NBC video showing Trapped greenhouse gases may bring bigger storm surges. A recent study published in the journal ‘Nature’ suggests the U.S. may experience a 5 ft. rise in sea level given all of the fossil fuel that has already been burned. NBC’s Anne Thompson reports.

This time-lapse video compresses two months of NASA satellite observations (February – March 2013) into just over a minute to show the full magnitude of this Global Warming fed meltdown event. The fracturing started in late January 2013, as a warming weather system over Alaska fed an ocean current known as the Beaufort Gyre. The strengthened and warmed currents picked away at the southwest corner of the ice sheet until a massive crack opened up north of central Alaska (about 3 seconds into the video), and then another crack, apparently around 1,000 kms long (621 miles) opened up in late February, leading to the collapse of the rest of the ice sheet, all the way east to Bank Island. It took just seven days for the fractures to progress across the entire area from west to east.

Global Warming, Undeniable

UN panel: Global warming human-caused, dangerous, and at the tipping point of no return. Global warming is here, human-caused and already dangerous — and it's increasingly likely that the heating trend could be irreversible, a draft of a new 2014 international science report says.

Company in the Spotlight

COMPANY

This Israeli technology company is in the “A” stage of funding with valid technology patents, and a seasoned management team. The company is presently at the commercial market stages of product introduction, with customer pilot programs in China, Isreal and Europe.

MARKET

Global power producers, electricity transmission and distribution grid operators, utilities.

TECHNOLOGY / SOLUTION

Real-time power condition measurements across the grid, coupled to failure predictions are just some of the highlights of the Company's sensor / software system package. Measuring changes in power flow and other operating conditions throughout the power grid landscape, and equally important, beyond the substation and on the grid lines and cables. All this translates into global real-time visibility for grid operators and unprecedented control.

The Company’s technology is comprised of power line-deployed intelligent sensors incorporating proprietary advanced hardware coupled to a highly adaptable communications interface and heuristics software engine. The Company's system is designed to provide grid operators and other power stakeholders with real-time sensing, monitoring, tracking, event locations, and operating visibility on power flow conditions, supply-demand load balances, power-specific security events, predictive fault and failure analysis of grid equipment and operating conditions, along with a wide range of adaptable infrastructure reporting capabilities.

DISRUPTIVE / GAME CHANGER

The Company has no direct competition within the on-cable sensor technology field. Its system features unequalled cost-performance, on average 10 times less in total deployment customer costs compared to conventional grid sensing technology products. The Company's technology cost advantages enable an economic model in which wide scale deployment of its sensors is not only possible, but practical. Equally impressive, is the Company’s product ability to provide unprecedented “predictive” alerts on developing fault conditions and their fault locations across the grid. These same system reporting and diagnostics capabilities apply to both above-ground and underground power lines installations.

In short, real-time reporting visibility beyond today's conventional sensing and substation-level reporting limitations, and at an unprecedented cost performance level translates for grid operators and power stakeholders into tangible operating and cost benefits:

Significantly reduce utilities operating and maintenance costs
Energy savings through the reduction of power losses per given KW/h sold
Reductions in power delivery inefficiencies, service disruptions and outages
