Overview

The share of renewable energy in electricity generation has globally increased to 28.3%, however, an acceleration of the sustainable energy transition is required to limit worldwide temperature rise (REN21, 2022).

Energy storage offers various benefits, such as balancing the mismatch between electricity supply and demand; however, due to its charge/discharge inefficiencies (energy storage results in a loss of at least 10% of electricity in the charge/discharge process), digital solutions are needed to manage grid equilibrium effectively (Watson et al., 2022).

In this project, we investigate how digital energy services and analytics (DESA) facilitate the automation of electricity infrastructures and decision support by dynamically deploying options to manage energy supply and demand for optimal and efficient renewable energy usage.
