The bioliq® pilot plant
The bioliq® pilot plant covers the complete process chain required for producing customized fuels from residual biomass. Power and heat als the by-products and cover the own demand of the facility. For energy densification of the biomass, fast pyrolysis is applied. The liquid pyrolysis oil and solid char obtained can be processed into intermediate fuels of high energy density. Fuel and chemicals production from syngas requires high pressures. Therefore, syngas production is already performed at pressures up to 80 bar by entrained flow gasification. Gas cleaning and conditioning are conducted at the same pressure at high temperatures allowing for optimal heat recovery and thus improved energy efficiency. In the bioliq® pilot plant the purified syngas is firstly converted into dimethyl ether and then further to gasoline.

Visibility and Obervability of distribution grid assets and grid status
One challenge for the use of decentralized flexibility is the current lack of visibility of the systems and the lack of observability in the distribution grid, as well as the lack of real-time information on the topology of the distribution grid itself. These problems make it difficult to verify the actual need for flexibility as well as to validate or measure the flexibility provided.

Data exchange between different stakeholders as a challenge
The energy system data and the data exchange between transmission and distribution system operators, as well as suppliers and aggregators, are currently only sufficient to a limited extent to enable an appropriate provision of flexibility services.

Overview of regulatory sandboxes worldwide
Regulatory sandboxes are policy instruments that create the appropriate legal framework so that innovators can test new products, services and processes under real conditions that would otherwise not have been possible under the current regulation. Such a regulatory experiment should take place in a temporally and / or physically delimited space and pursue the goal of developing technical and / or service solutions to accelerate the energy transition. The figure shows the status of the implementation of regulatory experimenting in countries worldwide.

Wordcloud
The analysis is based on a systematically observed global communication on Twitter with a data set of more than 70,000 messages between December 2015 and April 2018, all of which contained the hashtag #smartgrid and / or #smartgrids. The main topics related to smart grids throughout the period, i.e. most observed keywords among the top rated were: Internet of Things, Smart Cities, Smart Meters, Storage, Renewable Energy, Cybersecurity and Big Data. The figure shows an example of a word cloud with the 50 most frequent hashtag terms between December 2015 and July 2016.
