So far, the city has focused on the image data, using it to count pedestrians and cars as they move around the city. This data is only just starting to feed into the way the city designs and manages traffic flows, and any consumer applications remain far in the future, says Erik Caldwell, the city of San Diego’s interim deputy chief operating officer for smart and sustainable communities. Officials are still talking through all other possible applications, such as using the streetlights to locate gunshots, track airport noise, or monitor air quality.

Under the REC framework, a developer sells the electricity generated and the environmental attributes associated with clean energy separately. The entities obligated under the RPO regime from any part of India may purchase these RECs to meet their RPO targets. The RECs are issued by the National Load Dispatch Centre on application by the generator equivalent to the amount of electricity injected into the grid as certified by the State Load Despatch Centre, and each REC represents 1MWh of energy injected into the grid from renewable energy sources. In order to ensure compliance by entities obligated under the RPO regime to purchase RECs, MNRE has created the RPO compliance cell, which will coordinate with concerned states, CERC and SERCs on matters relating to compliance, including periodic reporting. Further, in the event of default, such mechanism will ensure appropriate actions being taken against defaulting entities promptly.

The Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2014 provides definitions of ‘renewable energy’ and ‘renewable energy service company’ that are not provided for in the Electricity Act. In order to promote generation of electricity from renewable energy sources, the Electricity Amendment Bill encourages governments at central and state level to provide tax rebates, generation-linked incentives, the creation of a national renewable energy fund, etc.

“We’ve just signed a collaboration and research agreement with Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, as well as a university in Jerusalem. And they will be working on a research leading towards the printing of solar cells,” he said.

1. Distributed energy resources One of the most obvious connections between city strategies and utility innovation is the push towards renewable energy. Cities are responsible for more than two-thirds of the world’s energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, and they have become increasingly aggressive in exerting pressure on utilities to shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy to help meet emissions targets. Cities are looking to install DER solutions in municipal buildings and are encouraging the adoption of residential and commercial clean energy solutions through programmes to support solar photovoltaics (PV), storage, combined heat and power systems, and other community energy schemes. Distributed renewables development and integration, distributed energy storage systems, and microgrids all offer the opportunity for utilities to make their energy services more efficient, resilient, cost-effective and sustainable. To date, utility efforts have been largely reactive, focused on issues caused by renewables intermittency, shifting loads, capacity constraints, and bidirectional power flows.

"Dialight uses copper-free aluminum for the housing of the units, as it does not spark," said Head. "The company also has stainless-steel units, which are suitable for humid/cold/wet/salty environments," he added.

MNRE released a draft Renewable Energy Act in July 2015 for comments from various stakeholders. The draft proposes establishment of National Renewable Energy Committee and National Renewable Energy Advisory Group to ensure inter-ministerial coordination and expert assistance. The draft act also defines ‘renewable energy sources’ as energy derived from non-depleting sources.

LED lighting in harsh and hazardous environments is used worldwide and on a large scale. Focusing on one small sector, analyst company IHS has calculated the number of offshore oil rigs around the world at 799 in 2014; while not all are working at any one time, they have a geographical spread with offshore rigs in the US, Gulf of Mexico, South America, Northwest Europe, West Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.

Downtown Columbus now has self-driving shuttles, electric vehicle charging stations, and a new system that monitors traffic, electrical systems, transportation and police reports.
