Regional power leaders are enhancing energy security by diversifying fuel and primary energy sources used for power generation. One energy source the region is investing in is renewable energy. The opportunity is to balance variable renewable energy generation with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and larger transmission capacities to stabilize the grid.
Regional governments are turning to digital technology and smart grids to optimize the impact of individual technologies in integrated power infrastructure. Digital transformations present opportunities to address core challenges of grid stabilization, peak load management, system flexibility and reliability in a holistic manner.
Smart grids help to integrate renewable generation into the grid and manage supply and demand.
