Is your grid ready to handle the unpredictable demands of tomorrow? As the energy landscape shifts, the integration of renewable sources like wind and solar is no longer a choice but a necessity. Yet, these sources bring variability, requiring a grid that can adapt in real-time. This is where Head-End Systems (HES) step in, acting as the backbone that supports not only today's grid operations but also the future needs of an increasingly complex energy infrastructure.
How much of this US$3.1 trillion is yours?
The whopping figure covers energy companies’ investments in grid expansions between now and 2030. Part of the costs will likely fall to energy companies and their customers.
Flexibility is key to lowering that number – and your contribution toward it.
The communication technology landscape for AMI and smart grids is rapidly evolving, with a rise in Radio Frequency (RF) mesh networks due to their reliability and long-range capabilities. This agility is crucial for finding and capitalizing on new opportunities while providing stable and sustainable energy supply. But what is the best technology for the increasingly demanding digitalization of energy grids?
Situated near the iconic Corinth Canal, the sprawling 56,000 square meter production facility at Corinth has had an illustrious history on its way to becoming Landis+Gyr's largest smart manufacturing facility in Europe. Yet it had to show resilience to bounce back from tough market conditions in 2012, for a resurgence in production excellence, social impact and environmental contributions.
In the past two years, the transformation of the energy industry has accelerated. We caught up with Bodo Zeug, Executive Vice President and Head of Landis+Gyr EMEA, and discussed with him about the megatrends in the energy sector, how they affect utilities and how Landis+Gyr intends to support utilities in tackling current and upcoming challenges.
As decarbonization, deentralization and digitalization continue to affect the energy industry, DSO's are taking on new roles and greater challenges in ensuring a reliable, resilient grid. In the IoT era of OT/IT convergence , where are you in your journey to transformation ?
