It’s difficult to know where to start with innovation, especially when your sector is in the throes of change which reaches both broadly and deeply into operations and market structures. When almost every aspect of your business is challenged, how do you prioritise work on transformation and adaptation?

Paul Beck, director of smart grid solutions at Lucy Electric, encourages customers to look at not how much data they can collect, but what that data can be used for, and the actions that will result from it. “What is important to DNOs, and in the transition to DSO, is not data, but information,” he says. “You can end up with an awful lot of data – in fact, far more than can be processed. It is extracting the information for analysis that is important.”
Data is such a buzzword in current business parlance that it is worth taking a moment to consider its true meaning. According to the Cambridge English dictionary, data is information collected to be considered to help decision making.
Digitalisation and Industry 4.0 has created innovations across all sectors. Everything is now digital. The way we bank, watch TV and shop. Moreover, automation in manufacturing techniques has played a huge part in increasing efficiencies in both the manufacturing itself and the quality of the final product for years.

We’re often told that energy data is valuable. Less often discussed is the fact that handling data can be risky. But just as not all data is equally valuable, some types of data are riskier than others. The trick is to maximise value while minimising risk.

The decarbonisation of the energy system is driving energy networks to become smarter, more flexible and more closely integrated.
Traditionally, buildings have been thought of as static assets. Once they are constructed, the only work to be done is routine maintenance over the building’s useful life. But today, asset owners – particularly those in manufacturing and heavy industrial processes – are beginning to appreciate that assets are in fact dynamic entities that require closer monitoring and control after construction than just traditional maintenance.
