Three trends rule the energy sector - decarbonisation, decentralisation, and digitisation. To meet the UK's environmental and sustainability goals, it has become imperative to decarbonise the grid, incorporating a large proportion of low carbon sources into the energy mix. This is transforming our system of energy generation from a centralised system to a decentralised model, comprised of small pockets of generation from wind farms, solar panels and even electric vehicle batteries. To incorporate these changes, the grid is becoming more digitised - moving towards a two-way flow of energy where 'prosumers' play an active part in grid balancing and energy management.
