— Megatrends: The 3D’s for the Grid
DECENTRALIZED ON-SITE GENERATION
DECARBONIZED LIMIT GLOBAL WARMING
DIGITIZED SMART IS NEW GREEN
Making customers active elements of the system, though it requires coordination Key factors: • Grid stability - Loss of grid inertia and generation often not aligned with demand • Microgrids with renewables integration • Demand response programs and ancillary services
Critical to long-term carbon goals with more renewable penetration and electrification of the transportation Key factors: • Renewable generation/integration • Electric vehicles charging optimization • Vehicle to grid/home, smart charging
Allowing real-time automated communication and operation of the system Key factors: • Network technologies (smart meters, remote control and operation, cloud management,..) • Behind the meter (IoT, optimization and aggregation platforms, machine learning...) • Cybersecurity of paramount importance
