Digital technologies offer an array of opportunities to benefit electricity consumers, prosumers, energy suppliers, grid managers and the system as a whole, including improved efficiency, reliability, and resilience, resulting in cost savings and increased energy security. Connected devices via IoT, together with data-based AI and machine learning, blockchain, and other technologies, can unlock demand response resources, offer new and innovative grid flexibility solutions to handle increased variability and uncertainty, improve energy efficiency, and facilitate the accelerated integration of higher shares of variable renewables in a cost-effective, reliable, resilient, and secure manner.
The objective of this workshop is to explore the impact of shifting from centralized, analogue energy systems to distributed digital economies in energy provision. This will involve examining the potential of local generation, distributed storage, and the integration of modern technologies, with the aim to enhance the sustainability, resilience, accessibility, and fairness of energy services for both power suppliers and end-users.
