Smart grids: A forgotten key to decarbonization
From our perspective, this will be a highly disruptive system, requiring digital technologies to generate and analyze the data critical for network operators to plan and operate ever more sophisticated smart grids, and for consumers to capture the benefits of decentralization. In short, a net-zero grid should first become a smart grid.
Smart grid solutions
Today''s changing energy landscape and evolving complexity of the energy value chain requires new ways to optimize supply and demand. To address these challenges, utilities must break down silos and take a modern, holistic approach to grid management to drive sustainability, operational efficiency, flexibility, resiliency, and reliability.
