The decentralisation and decarbonisation of the energy system are key dynamics of the energy transition, with significant increases in renewable energy, battery energy storage, electric vehicles, and heat pumps forecast for the decade ahead.

The challenge is to seamlessly incorporate the bi-directional flow of power and communications. The increase in distributed energy assets has resulted in generation and consumption being carried out at multiple network nodes. These advances require that grid technologies and infrastructure are compatible with the two-way power flow.
