The digitisation of the energy sector continues. In this context, information and communication technology (ICT) is a central component for the success of the energy transition. The specific contribution ICT can make to efficient system operation was studied by the Department of Energy Systems of TU Berlin in a new WindNODE peer review paper from the workstream “Market design and regulation”.
Titled “Contribution of information and communication technology to the intelligent energy system”, the paper studies to what extent ICT can contribute to overcoming challenges, specific to the energy system using three examples. Central to the analysis are the identification and exploitation of new flexibility options, the expansion of grid congestion management and the proactive maintenance as a contribution to more efficient grid maintenance. The study shows that ICT can in fact be used to improve certain sides of the energy policy triangle without adversely affecting other aspects. This breakthrough and the lack of adverse effects make it possible to contribute to establishing a smart energy system.
