Australia – Smart Energy

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE–

(
has announced the addition of the report to their
offering.

With a better understanding of the complexity involved in the
transformation of the electricity industry the words smart energy’ are
becoming more prominent. BuddeComm believes that the term smart grids’
is too narrow and that eventually smart energy’ will become the accepted
terminology, especially once the communications developments in national
broadband networks and mobile broadband start to converge with smart
grid developments.

Smart energy signifies a system that is more integrated and scalable,
and which extends through the distribution system, from businesses and
homes and back to the sources of energy. A smarter energy system has
sensors and controls embedded into its fabric. Because it is
interconnected there is a two-way flow of information and energy across
the network, including information on pricing. In addition to this it is
intelligent, making use of proactive analytics and automation to
transform data into insights and efficiently manage resources.

This links with the telecoms development known as the internet of
things’ (IOT. For this to happen various functional areas within the
energy ecosystem must be engaged – retail and business customers; energy
providers; regulators; the utility’s own operations; smart meters; grid
operations; work and asset management; communications; and the
integration of distributed resources.

With energy consumption expected to grow worldwide by more than 40% over
the next 25 years demand in some parts of the world could exceed 100% in
that time. This will produce an increase in competition for
international energy resources, resulting in higher costs. In an
environment such as this energy efficiency will become even more
important.

Quite apart from any increased demand for energy in specific markets,
the move to more sustainable developments – for example, electric
vehicles and distributed and renewable generation – will add even more
complexity to operations within the energy sector

Concerns about issues such as energy security, environmental
sustainability, and economic competitiveness are triggering a shift in
energy policy, technology and consumer focus. This, in turn, is making
it necessary to move on from the traditional energy business models.
