GLOBAL WIND REPORT

April 25, 2018

2017was not a spectacular year in terms of global installations, but key developments marked the forward progress of the energy transformation. Driven by the improving economics of wind power, as well as solar and storage, the outlines of a future sustainable energy system are beginning to become clear. ‘Hybrid’ wind/solar/storage plants are now being built, able to supply clean reliable power 24/7 for most of the year; utilities are seriously experimenting with battery storage in place of peaker plants, and EV sales are booming in key markets. The development of local micro-grids, some using peer to peer power trading with blockchain technology, and more and more sophisticated market structures for matching up supply and demand at all scales are just some of the elements beginning to emerge.

Breach Protection For Energy Companies

whitePaper | October 4, 2022

Business Challenge Widely classified as critical infrastructure, energy companies traditionally relied on the inaccessibility of their core technology environment to protect against threats. Today, energy companies are focusing on grid modernization, increasing connectivity between information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) to provide myriad operational benefits and efficiencies. The environment has expanded to remote endpoints and networked devices used across the entire supply chain to improve collaboration, access and control. This interconnectedness, however, opens energy companies to considerable risk

Battery storage Stability for the energy transition

whitePaper | November 29, 2022

Renewables are expected to account for 80–90% of power generation globally by 2050. Due to their dependence on weather conditions, wind and solar power cannot provide constant baseload power during all hours of the day, and measures have to be taken to compensate for this intermittency. The good news is that such imbalances or fluctuations can be mitigated effectively using battery energy storage systems (BESSs).

How Microgrids Contribute to the Energy Transition

whitePaper | January 20, 2023

Executive summary In the early 20th century, the centralization of electricity production made huge pro- gress, enabling significant economies of scale and improved power plant efficiency. Today, decentralization could help tackle the energy challenges of the 21st century by creating an optimized way to access reliable, green, and resilient energy. Microgrids are the emerging energy eco- system that provides practical answers through a local, interconnected energy system within clearly defined electrical boundaries, which incorporate loads, de- centralized energy resources, battery stor- age, and control capabilities
