Energy systems (electrical grids, thermal and Oil&Gas networks) are increasingly digitalised, optimised, and distributed. The growth of renewable energy sources, the need to manage uncertainties related to renewable primary resources, bidirectional energy flow, and the need to provide access to information to the final users have turned digitalisation into an extraordinary tool.
Digitalisation is also enabling the emergence of new business models: ESCos, aggregators and management to serve demand, energy communities and energy self-consumption, aggregation of electrical vehicle loading docks and equipment manufacturers are also selling software. Smart grids are starting to focus on data. Public services companies, owners of renewable energy plants and energy retailers are starting to include data space. Gaining knowledge is becoming possible thanks to Artificial Intelligence.
New services and business models are arising around data and data managers, rendering it essential to have policies and technologies in place that guarantee the sovereignty of and the governance of the data, while determining who is the owner of the data, who it’s shared with, for what purpose and under what conditions.
PROGRAMME
- Our energy sector digitalisation experts will address the design principles of data spaces.
- They will analyse some of the current specificities within the energy sector, in general, and within electrical grids and renewable energy, in particular.
- A case study of offshore wind power will be analysed, and of the design of a data space based on a benchmark architecture by IDS (International Data Space Association).
