Deep Dive: Digitalising Energy Systems and Operations

Whether it’s about integrating decentralised renewable energy sources, enabling consumers to choose the services that fit their needs, or simply helping them become active participants in the energy system, digitalisation has helped decarbonised, decentralised energy systems run in a stable and affordable fashion.
This session focuses on the role played by aggregators and Digital Twin in transforming energy systems. As an electricity grid participant, aggregators track companies’ consumption and transmission system operators’ requirements in real-time, providing uninterrupted grid balancing to optimise energy use, while also rewarding customers for making their electricity available. Meanwhile, Digital Twin allows electrical operators to manipulate the conditions of digital assets for scenario planning without interfering with the operation of the physical asset.
