Enabling the smart grid

Government demands for decarbonisation, a changing energy landscape of renewables, demand-side response, battery storage, the growth of electric vehicles and advances in digital technology require the use of innovative tools and techniques. These include: IoT, web-based customer self-service, blockchain, geospatial and even space-based technologies such as Earth Observation to enable the transition of distribution network operators (DNOs) to distribution system operators (DSOs) and the creation of the smart grid.
