Many companies are likely to consider going off-grid after lockdown to escape load-shedding

odernising SA’s energy infrastructure will dramatically change the energy utility business model, as industrial and private energy consumers now have access to technology that allows them to produce, store and distribute energy.

This creates the opportunity for a shift, with the possibility that the electricity network and grid will evolve in such a way that individuals or companies will be able to receive or resend energy to the grid. This shift in the structure of the industry would create the scope for bidirectional flows of energy in which individuals or companies can draw energy from the grid at a cost, or send energy to the grid in return for payment.

Using advanced software, microgrids dynamically shift energy loads between power sources — whether solar photovoltaic, wind, energy stored in batteries, generators, or the grid — to maximise efficiency and reduce costs.power shift towards consumers — residential and commercial — because the hardware and technology exists in SA for them to go off-grid if they want to.

From a software point of view, battery management systems have evolved to include more capacity for artificial intelligence , so the system monitors and learns users’ behaviour. The system adapts its energy generation and storage behaviour to align with user patterns, to optimise for cost and capacity. Developers have also focused on improving the overall safety of these systems.
