Digitalized future energy systems to revolutionize global electricity distribution.
Global energy systems are shifting towards renewables, but current electricity systems are fragile and could lead to problems like high prices and blackouts. Future energy systems will be digital, complex, and rely on new technologies. To address these challenges, a new interdisciplinary approach is needed. The researchers propose a 6-theme template to shape future energy systems, focusing on efficiency, stability, affordability, and emission reductions. The interconnected themes will drive the outcomes and impacts of these systems.
