Power and Energy Training

The power and energy sector is a model of how technology helps bring about necessary changes.

Renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, hydro, and geothermal, are becoming increasingly popular because these sources of energy have a smaller carbon footprint and are more sustainable than traditional fossil fuels.

Renewable energy sources are also becoming more affordable, making them more accessible to both large and small businesses.

Storage systems are used to store renewable and traditional energy sources with the aim of providing a stable supply of electricity. These systems can store energy during off-peak hours and release it during peak demand times.

Battery storage systems are currently the most common solution, however, compressed air, superconducting magnets, underground pumped storage, and hydrogen storage are all forms of emerging energy storage that are in different stages of development.

Survival for utilities depends on their ability to develop new capabilities, different business models and a mindset centered around agility and collaboration.

The conduit for necessary adaptions in the power and energy sector is technology. Applications of artificial intelligence, for example, will become more prominent.

AI is being used in the energy sector to optimize production and distribution. AI algorithms can analyze data to predict demand, optimize use, and improve efficiency.

AI can also be used to harness renewable energy sources by predicting wind and solar power production.

IoT technology is also stepping up. IoT technology is being used in the energy sector to optimize energy use and reduce energy waste. IoT devices, such as smart thermostats and energy-efficient lighting, can be connected to the internet and controlled remotely.

This technology allows for real-time monitoring of energy usage, which can be used to drive adjustments that improve efficiency.

But arguably the most ambitious and important evolution in the power and energy sector is the ongoing plan to convert to smart grid technology.

Smart grid technology is a modernized electrical grid that uses sensors, automation, and other digital technologies to improve efficiency and reliability. Smart grids enable the energy sector to monitor usage and supply in real-time, which helps to prevent power outages, reduce energy waste, and cut down on greenhouse gas emissions.
