At the same time\, the energy landscape is changing rapidly with far-reaching implications for the global energy industry and actors. Some changes are already happening. Changes to energy grid management are under way and utility companies are developing commercial platforms that will ma ke it easier for them to trade in flexibility with generators and consumer s\, even at very small scale. Renewable are also becoming key players. Har vesting renewable energies implies decentralization\, where many consumers also become producers\, who at times export electricity to the grid. To a ccommodate large numbers of renewable resources\, energy distribution and transmission networks need to be adapted and expanded to avoid network con gestion and failures. Flexibility options and services have to be also ena bled not only at the supply side but also through responsive loads and sui table means of energy storage to maximize the security of supply and the q uality of service in the most efficient way. Accelerating the energy trans ition also requires a rethinking of electricity markets in many aspects\, a key one being the adaptation of their design and operation to support hi gher shares of variable renewables as well as distributed power generation . This talk covers the aforementioned promising areas in green energy tran sition and discusses the current and future opportunities and challenges e xist in this context.\n\nCo-sponsored by: AIT Austrian Institute of Techno logy GmbH\n\nSpeaker(s): Amjad Anvari-Moghaddam\n\nRoom: GG4_F1_M4B\, Bldg : GG4\, Giefinggasse 4\, Vienna\, Wien\, Austria\, 1210\, Virtual: https:/ /events.vtools.ieee.org/m/556533 LOCATION:Room: GG4_F1_M4B\, Bldg: GG4\, Giefinggasse 4\, Vienna\, Wien\, Au stria\, 1210\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/556533 ORGANIZER:thomas.i.strasser@ieee.org SEQUENCE:35 SUMMARY:Grid Transformation at Scale: Flexibility\, Electrification\, Marke ts\, and Distributed Energy URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/556533 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><h2><span style="text-decoration: underline\; color: rgb(230\, 126\, 35)\;">LECTURE/WEBINAR</span></h2>\n<p class="MsoN ormal" style="text-align: justify\; text-justify: inter-ideograph\;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-hansi-font-family: Arial\; color: black\; mso-ans i-language: EN-GB\; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN\;">Most trajectories of en ergy demand and supply to 2050 anticipate significant new system challenge s as we incorporate more low carbon generation\, and meet increases in pea k demand\, driven largely by the extent to which transport and heating bec ome increasingly electrified.
