Global electricity consumption will account for more than by 2050, with some regions of the world expanding well beyond this level. At the same time, there is a growing urgency to adopt and reach zero carbon emissions to improve air quality and slow the effects of climate change. As the energy demand grows, sustainable energy sources are needed to generate electricity powered by a sustainable power grid.
Managing the power grid that supports this energy supply requires the combined expertise of both information technology and operations technology teams. The lines between IT and OT have blurred over time, and digitalization has accelerated this convergence as data is collected, analyzed, and shared across systems and organizations.
At the same time, changes in energy management in submarkets — microgrids, local communities — are creating an opportunity for new business models that can generate additional revenue. For example, EV fleet managers will need to understand how to optimize power to charge their fleets. This is based on several factors: where the vehicles are going, when to purchase power based on market price, if they should maximize the power they store, and what to do with any surplus power.
We're helping to drive the next big revolution in managing energy: The full adoption of electrification across crucial sectors, including railway, urban transport, commercial fleets, and mass transit systems as well.Reducing and eliminating carbon emissions.Efficiently transporting energy to strengthen access to renewable sources.
