Esave Corporation

Grant in 2015
Esave Corporation was formed in April 2012 with the initial focus of developing electricity energy optimization systems for behind-the-meter installations in buildings. In 4Q 2012, Esave secured an exclusive international license with Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) for the commercialization of its Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) technologies that were designed for the optimization of renewable energy sources. Esave is an IBM Business Partner and was a finalist in the IBM Global Entrepreneur Program in 2012. In parallel, Ireland’s Transmission System Operators progressed their ‘Delivering a Secure Sustainable Electricity System’ (DS3) program to enable up to 75% instantaneous wind energy on the grid. DNV-GL (Kema) was engaged to carry out an international review of the System Services regimes adopted in a number of international (island) markets. To date during 2014, we finalized the design of the Esave Hybrid Energy Storage System. In May 2014, Mainstream Renewable Power, the world’s largest independent renewable energy company with a portfolio of more than 17GW of wind and solar development projects agreed to partner with Esave and install 3MW Demonstration System in its 9.2MW windfarm in Kerry. In July 2014, they completed the financial modeling of DS3 System Services. They also applied for Horizon 2020 funding for the Demonstration Project that will be validated by EirGrid and DNV-GL. Wind and solar power are leading the global transition to renewable energy, forcing fossil fuel and emissions take a back seat to a smarter, greener, more efficient electricity generation. Renewable energy sources bring new challenges, as you can’t control the supply of wind or solar – despite their infinite abundance. Electricity grids are finding it increasingly difficult to manage fast growth renewable energy integration as they cannot function unless they are able to balance supply and demand. An imbalance results in voltage fluctuations, or worse. New ancillary services are being introduced to control the variability, uncertainty and asynchronism of renewable energy to ensure the continuous, secure operation of the grid. Their vision is to design and deliver smart grid network solutions that can maximize renewable energy integration. Their technology can break down one of the last barriers to 100% renewable energy by removing the need to run fossil fuel generation to control the ‘frequency’ of the grid and other system services such as inertia, ramping and voltage control. Clean, green, affordable, definitely the future. Their mission is to design and develop Smart Grid Network Solutions that deliver superior power quality and energy storage to enable wind and solar plant assets to overcome their inherent intermittency and low capacity factors to become dispatchable ‘grid friendly’ maximized capacity energy plant with increased revenues and reduced operational costs. Grid balancing, power quality and energy storage that provide active power control of renewable energy sources to stabilize the grid faster, with greater precision and at a fraction of the cost of fossil fuel generation. Solutions that optimize renewable generation power plant performance to facilitate the controlled dispatch of energy, making it more predictable, flexible, fast responding, and ‘grid friendly’. Their job is saving the planet for fun and profit, by delivering solutions that help toward the global goal of abundant, affordable, clean, efficient, and reliable electric power anytime, anywhere – through Smart Grid Network Solutions. Their economic, ecological, and social success is captured in the triple bottom line of People, Planet and Profit and in their promotion of good energy management for the economic, social and environmental well-being of the planet.

With the LOV approach associated with the concept of ENERGI we intend to establish a new industrial paradigm capable of transcending the evolutionary needs of modern society towards a state of harmony between technology, life, energy and resources. As an innovative start-up , we intend to give the whole world a further example of the excellence of "Made in Italy". The Italian I in the word ENERGI (instead of the Y) recalls the initial of Italy. Lovenergi is one of the elite working groups that has the production license of the thermodynamic computers of the Watly 3.0 family. These electro-thermodynamic systems operate with solar energy, are able to purify water from any type of contamination, generate off-grid electricity and provide advanced telecommunications services. Water, energy and telecommunications are the fundamental pillars of modern civilization. Watly series computers ensure access to all the communities on the planet that are still lacking. With Watly technology we are laying the groundwork for the advent of Energy_net : the network of thousands of Watly units connected to each other all over the world. This is the true energy smart-grid and the "Internet of Things" of the 21st century. Within the Energy_Net, information merges with water and clean energy, transmitting both data and objects and real power. In this perspective, the love for energy ( love energy ) also becomes a sensitization to energy and its conscious use. The advent of Energy_net will free hundreds of millions of people from social and economic poverty, launching an era of abundance and sustainable growth for all of humanity.

Solvatten

Grant in 2015
Solvatten is water treatment and solar water heating in one that prevents people from falling sick and improves the quality of life. Solvatten is a Swedish social enterprise that brings Solvatten Solar Safe Water System to customers, charities and distributors around the world. We also partner with organisations and micro-finance institutions to increase reach and affordability. Solvatten is the brainchild of the Swedish inventor, Petra Wadström. The story began in Australia in the early 90s, where Petra was living with her husband Carl and their family. The Wadström’s professional background was diverse, spanning both medical science and the arts. A charitable branch of Solvatten was founded in 2013, focused on improving the lives of, above all, women and children, living without access to safe water. Contributions made in the US are administered by the Solvatten Charitable Foundation USA, a registered 501(c)(3) organization. Contributions to Solvatten Charitable Foundation USA are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. Living in Australia, Petra was struck by the abundance and intensity of natural sunlight. She was convinced that it must be possible to harness its strength for the betterment of those living in poverty. Exposure to sunlight was key, as this has the effect of both purifying and heating water. After succesful initial trials of the device several field visits throughout Africa and Asia took place, where Petra and her team began conducting studies to validate the efficacy of her creation in a variety of contexts. Today, Solvatten is used in more than 20 countries around the world reaching more than 260.000 people.
