Industry insight

Energy and transport integration

The energy industry is going through major transformational change driven by the need to decarbonise and enable the UK to hit its targets under the Climate Change Act 2008. Whilst the initial focus on meeting carbon budgets has been through the decarbonisation of power resulting in the closure of coal stations and decentralisation of generation through the deployment of renewables; these actions in themselves will not achieve the targets.

Electricity distribution networks – a new model for a new age

Electricity distribution networks – a new model for a new age

For any distribution network operator (DNO), customer service and satisfaction are priorities. If there is an outage or failure, they want to seem responsive – giving timely updates and information on the resolution. To do that, they are investing in new technologies to improve the design, operation and maintenance of distribution networks everywhere.

Decentralisation – unlocking the key to the future network

Put simply, a decentralised energy network is one that instead of running centrally, through the National Grid, is produced locally to where it will be used. This is achieved through the forming of microgrids which can generate and store energy locally, maximising on efficiencies whilst reducing transmissions losses and minimising carbon emissions with the added benefit of relieving pressure from the National Grid.
