COLUMBUS, Ohio – September 24, 2020 – ARCOS® LLC, the market leader for utility and critical infrastructure resource-management solutions, has signed an agreement to support the MultiSpeak® technology specification, which municipal and co-operative utilities and participating vendors rely on to standardize the exchange of data between software systems that handle things like field work, outage management and distribution operations. ARCOS is now offering utility managers the MultiSpeak interface as part of its resource-management platform. The interface will help utility managers easily take data about a power outage from, for example, NISC’s Outage Management System (OMS), create a work order and assign that order to the closest available crew via ARCOS Mobile Workbench.
If, for instance, a hurricane damaged hundreds of meters, web services available through the MultiSpeak specification could carry XML-formatted data from the utility’s OMS and launch an automated callout for damage assessors via the ARCOS Damage Assessment solution. Once in the field, damage assessors using mobile devices and GIS could send data back to the utility via data packets that would in turn launch a callout for repair crews via the ARCOS Callout and Scheduling Suite.
“MultiSpeak links a utility’s enterprise software systems and eliminates duplication of data entry, and manual processes, to give managers one picture of what’s happening,” says Lisa Steinhart, vice president of Marketing & Product for ARCOS. “By supporting MultiSpeak, we’ve done the upfront work of building a connection between our platform and other software systems before our customers buy ARCOS’s solution.”
The benefit for utility customers is that ARCOS is delivering a pre-defined connection point between its resource-management software and the outage management systems, SCADA systems and work management systems commonly used by many cooperative and municipal utilities.
By adopting the MultiSpeak specification, neither ARCOS nor a utility’s information technology team have to undertake a software services engagement or develop APIs.
“Without this integration, a utility would have to build its own interface between systems or just rely on manual, time-consuming tasks like phone calls, entering and rekeying data and watching minutes slip by that could be better used to restore service,” adds Steinhart.
MultiSpeak is an initiative of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, or NRECA.

Lübeck, Germany – Concentrations of hazardous substances in the ambient air at the workplace should not exceed specified limit values. Monitoring these sometimes very low values is a demanding task. The focus of the Dräger X-act 7000, in combination with the Dräger MicroTubes for different gases and vapors, is to measure carcinogenic and toxic substances in the lower ppb range. The range of gases to be measured is being constantly expanded. The measurement-sensitive system of the X-act 7000 is based on colorimetric chemical sensor technology and measures even the lowest ppb concentrations. It can replace conventional laboratory analysis and delivers exact reliable results directly on site. False-positive measurement results and false alarms can be largely reduced. This saves time and costs and is easy to use.
Ex-protected and ready for use
The RFID tags applied to the Dräger MicroTubes contain all the calibration data that is valid for the typical period of use of one year. Complex functional tests and manual calibration procedures are no longer necessary. All possible temperature and humidity influences are already taken into account during factory calibration. The analyzer is explosion-proof and certified in accordance with ATEX/IECEx for zone 0. In addition, the system is IP54 protected against dust and splash water. It also meets the requirements of electromagnetic compatibility according to EN 61326-1.
Easy to use
After an automatic self-test, the X-act 7000 analysis system is immediately ready for use. The user controls the measurement task via the 3-button operation unit and the 2.4-inch color display. The measurement result, location and time can be stored in the internal data logger and read out with the Dräger CC Vision software. Power is supplied by five easily replaceable batteries. The battery capacity is sufficient for more than ten hours of measuring and is indicated on the display. The Dräger X-am pump can be adapted to the X-act 7000 by a connecting piece. This makes it possible to measure carcinogenic and toxic substances in the ppb range possible even in inaccessible locations such as canals, ducts or tank facilities up to a distance of 45 meters. Since the X-am pump also has explosion protection certification for zone 0, it is ideally suited for these applications.
The X-act 7000 is manufactured by Dräger
Dräger is an international leader in the fields of medical and safety technology. Our products protect, support and save lives. Founded in 1889, Dräger generated revenues of around EUR 2.8 billion in 2019. The Dräger Group is currently present in more than 190 countries and has more than 14,500 employees worldwide.

For electric utilities that store, use, or dispose of items containing Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Annual Reports are due July 1st. With the deadline fast approaching, EnSafe’s professionals are ready to assist with annual reporting to ensure your facility is compliant.
According to 40 CFR 761, Subpart J, “General Records and Reports,” PCB items are identified as “any PCB Article, PCB Article Container, PCB Container, PCB Equipment, or anything that deliberately or unintentionally contains or has as a part of it any PCB or PCBs.” This applies to most of the electric industry. Unfortunately, documentation for PCB Annual Report is often cumbersome and requires attention to detail as facilities create Annual Document logs that capture very specific data i.e. total weight in kg of any PCBs, total number of PCB transformers, spill reports, etc. For an industry plagued by labor shortages, this is particularly overwhelming.
EnSafe’s experts are not only available to assist firms in providing this Annual Report but can also provide support throughout the year that will make reporting drastically easier. EnSafe’s team can document your existing processes, customize a PCB program audit checklist, and develop a PCB management program to assist your staff in maintaining a compliant process. We are also available to conduct periodic onsite audits to review your PCB management process, from equipment drop-off to disposal. EnSafe can develop site-specific training, which can include hazards of PCBs, proper handling and response to spills, common findings from the audit, and typical field-based scenarios for line workers and substation crews.
Contact Brooke Sinclair today at 865-219-2674 or bsinclair@ensafe.com to get assistance with your annual PCB report and all of your program needs.

BNEF’s annual Pioneers award recognizes changemakers across three key climate challenges working towards creating a net-zero economy
NEW YORK – April 17, 2023 – BloombergNEF (BNEF) today announced the winners of its 2023 Pioneers Award, recognizing 12 early-stage companies working to introduce technologies and products pushing the world to a net-zero global economy. This year the winners include companies developing new types of sustainable protein, finding novel routes to mine copper, eliminating CO2 emissions from steelmaking and creating technology to produce green hydrogen more cheaply – among many others.
Since the inception of the BNEF Pioneers program over a decade ago, there has been significant progress in the production and deployment of technologies and solutions designed to decarbonize the global economy. Greenhouse gas emissions, however, are still rising and there are many urgent obstacles to overcome in order for the world to reach net-zero emissions. The BNEF Pioneers award seeks to recognize companies making strides in sectors or areas where there are still technology or innovation challenges in meeting net-zero goals. This year BNEF called for nominations from companies, nonprofits and projects that specifically addressed three climate-tech innovation areas:
1. Accelerating the deployment of clean hydrogen
2. Sustainable metals and materials for an electrified future
3. Building a net-zero food production system
Claire Curry, selection committee co-chair and global head of Technology, Industry & Innovation research at BloombergNEF, stated: “The search for new climate-technology solutions has never been as urgent. Technologies under development now must scale by 2030 if they are to play a significant role in helping reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Over the past three cycles of the Pioneers competition, we have chosen to focus on innovation areas where there are particularly large decarbonization hurdles. My belief is that our 2023 winners have the technology edge, the talent and the right support systems to play a significant role in overcoming the hurdles in scaling green hydrogen, producing sustainable metals at scale and in decarbonizing our food production system. We have now had 141 Pioneers winners since 2010, many of which have played an essential role in the energy and climate transition since their win. I look forward to seeing our 2023 winners do the same in the next decade. ”
The competition received nearly 350 applications from 42 countries. A team of lead analysts at BloombergNEF evaluated candidates against three criteria: the potential impact on greenhouse gas emissions and the planet, the degree of technology innovation and originality, and the likelihood of adoption and potential scalability.
“This year we received a record number of high quality and diverse candidates for the BloombergNEF Pioneers program. We are very grateful to our judges on the selection committee who had the challenge of choosing twelve winners from a strong pool of entrants,” added Benjamin Kafri, selection committee co-chair and Global Head of Innovation, Client Relations and Partnerships at BloombergNEF. “We are very encouraged by the innovation and determination shown by these Pioneers and by the impact that they could have in accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy. ”
The winners of the 2023 BNEF Pioneers by challenge are:
Challenge 1: Accelerating the deployment of clean hydrogen
● Mainspring Energy (US) manufactures a linear generator with fuel-flexibility that can directly run on 100% hydrogen and ammonia as well as biogas and other fuels.
● SunGreenH2 (Singapore) has developed proprietary nanostructured electrodes for all commercial electrolyzers. The novel electrodes reduce energy consumption and increase hydrogen output.
● H2Pro (Israel) has created an electrolysis system, known as E-TAC, which produces hydrogen and oxygen in two steps. This system allows the company to create hydrogen efficiently and with variable power generation.
The potential of clean hydrogen to decarbonize several sectors of the global economy is well-documented. However, the costs of producing, transporting and storing hydrogen currently exclude it from wide-scale adoption. Mainspring’s linear generator directly runs on hydrogen, ammonia, biogas and other fuels to displace fossil-fuel power generation. SunGreenH2’s proprietary electrodes improve key performance metrics for electrolysers with any chemistry, dramatically increasing hydrogen production and reducing energy consumption, and lowering precious metals usage – all while decreasing cost. H2Pro’s revolutionary E-TAC electrolyzers split water with a breakthrough energy efficiency of 95% (compared to 60-70% efficiency of conventional systems).
Challenge 2: Sustainable metals and materials for an electrified future
● Li-Cycle (Canada) provides lithium-battery recycling and resource recovery using its spoke and hub facilities. The company also creates a secondary supply of battery-grade materials.
● Jetti Resources (US) has developed a catalyst that efficiently releases copper from low-grade ores that could not previously be processed economically.
● Nth Cycle’s (US) patented metal refining transforms feedstocks, including scrap, ore and end-of-life electronics, into high-purity critical metals within a modular, commercial-scale electroextraction unit called The Oyster.
Decarbonizing sectors such as industry, transport and buildings will require a significant scaling in clean electricity production, leading to an escalation in the need for key materials such as lithium, copper, cobalt, nickel and others. The Pioneers in this category are working to increase the supply of these materials more sustainably. Li-Cycle leverages its innovative Spoke & Hub Technologies™ to provide a sustainable end-of-life solution for lithium-ion batteries and create a closed-loop battery supply chain. Jetti Resources helps deliver additional copper production rapidly, efficiently and at scale from existing mines with a reduced environmental impact. Nth Cycle processes black mass from battery recycling, producing a cathode precursor material, reducing GHG emissions by 92% compared to traditional mining.
Challenge 3: Building a net-zero food production system
● Precision AI (Canada) uses custom-built, fixed-wing drones for crop spraying. The drones use computer vision to identify and spray weeds.
● MicroHarvest (Germany) makes sustainable proteins through microbial fermentation, using feedstock derived from agricultural byproducts. The protein-containing biomass is dried to a powder and combined with other ingredients to make food products.
● FutureFeed (Australia) has patented the use of a seaweed called Asparagopsis as a livestock feed ingredient which significantly reduces methane emissions from ruminant animals.
These BNEF Pioneers work effectively to combat carbon emissions in the agriculture industry – which accounts for 23% of global greenhouse emissions – as human populations and income levels rise. Precision AI’s fixed-wing drone autonomously identifies weeds and applies herbicides accurately, reducing chemical usage by up to 95%. MicroHarvest’s microbial fermentation technology produces sustainable protein powder for use in shrimp feed, pet food and human-grade food, reducing land use by 99%. FutureFeed is licensing its patented discovery that using Asparagopsis seaweed as a livestock feed ingredient can reduce cattle methane emissions by 80% or more.
Wildcards: Organizations focused on the sectors of sustainable materials and carbon removal
● Travertine Technologies (US) has developed a novel process for carbon dioxide removal and mineralization from mining waste. The process also produces sulfuric acid which can be used to extract critical minerals.
● Sublime Systems (US) is decarbonizing cement production by using an electrochemical process to produce lime from materials other than limestone, avoiding both the CO2 process emissions and heating emissions.
● Electra (US) utilizes intermittent renewable energy and low-grade ores to produce iron at low temperatures for use in electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking.
The Wildcard winners are organizations working outside of this year’s three core subject areas. Travertine Technologies enables upstream producers of critical elements in the mining and agricultural sectors to minimize their chemical waste footprint while at the same time removing and permanently sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Sublime Systems replaces legacy fossil-fueled cement kilns with a proprietary electrochemical process. Electra produces high-purity, low-carbon iron at coffee temperatures for use in electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking.
Talmon Marco, CEO of 2023 BNEF Pioneers winner H2Pro, said: “The BNEF Pioneer award comes at an exciting and apt moment for our company as we begin to conquer a new frontier – moving our tech to the field and scaling up for maximal impact. As we take this significant step forward, we’re thrilled to have BloombergNEF behind us and our mission .”
