Grids need to be bigger, stronger and smarter The IEA describes its recent special report, Electricity grids and secure energy transitions, as offering “a first-of-its-kind global stocktake of the world’s grids as they stand now.” It assesses signs they are not keeping pace with the emerging global energy economy


Why we need to carbonise the grid


The grid is being required to carry loads it was never designed to handle. One potential solution is deployment of radically improved conductors based on carbon nanotubes


Flexibility markets: a way of managing increasing complexity Power flows are becoming increasingly complex, with intermittent supply as more renewables connect to the grid. Flexibility markets promise a solution


Detecting LV-grid pre-faults Permanent monitoring equipment can detect pre-faults and their location, assisting network operators in performing proactive repair work
