Navigating the Future: Enhancing Grid Flexibility & Reliability in the Global Energy Sector
The Key: Flexible Operations
The goal of decarbonizing the electricity industry can be met only by reimagining the design and operation of electricity production facilities. The challenge facing policymakers is the formulation of a policy structure that promotes investment in an aging electric system while allowing innovative technologies and new energy management approaches to mature.
The shift to distributed energy resources, for example, requires more flexible system designs so that electricity producers, grid operators, and market participants are more closely interconnected through a much more flexible and technologically advanced distribution system. In the future, grid operations will be more localized, with intelligent grids that optimize the varied types of available electricity supplies. The grid must also be more dynamic, with advanced grid management technologies, digital controls, advanced communications, and new methods for determining grid analytics. Further, the development of parts of a modern, flexible grid must be enhanced by newly formulated regulatory frameworks and pricing mechanisms adaptable to local needs while minimizing the potential for stranded investments by utilities.
