Top Technologies Revolutionizing the Renewable Energy Industry
Clean, economical, and dependable energy is in short supply. An enormous overhaul of the energy sector is required. What role can new and developing energy technologies play in balancing renewable energy supply variability and sever the link between energy and emissions while flourishing countries?
There is a great deal of innovation and investment in the renewable energy sector. Cutting system costs, improving understanding of integrating energy sources, the importance of renewable energy in overall sustainability, and, of course, hydrogen are the areas generating the most interest in industries. Many current and planned innovations will impact one another, but they will require support and commitment from the public and commercial sectors.
With fossil fuel demand set to peak near the end of the decade and clean energy deployment accelerating, what are the top technologies to watch out for in 2022 to make renewable energy a cost-effective reality in various industries?
Hydrogen:
The hydrogen business has gone through numerous popularity cycles, but many observers believe this time is different and that profound change is on the way. Whether it's the UK's 10-point hydrogen plan or recent solar PV, wind, battery, and electric car adoption triumphs, the hydrogen industry is ready to take the next step.
Green hydrogen will be the renewable energy source to watch in 2022, as many countries invest heavily in the sector. Green hydrogen is seen as a crucial way to speed up decarbonization efforts, especially in difficult-to-abate sectors where electrification is not feasible, such as heavy industrial, chemicals, and transportation. This will solidify hydrogen's place in the global energy mix. There is a strong consensus in the market that the rebirth of interest in hydrogen is different this time around.
Artificial Intelligence:
As the grid becomes more innovative, AI solutions to handle the business operations will become more in demand. This will allow for more environmentally friendly procedures for solar and wind array maintenance. AI will play a vital role in the corporate energy market, allowing businesses to reduce energy use and even promote emissions reductions by controlling a dynamic network of energy sources. This could help not just with cost control but also with minimizing the carbon footprint of energy sources. Within renewable energy, AI will compensate for skills shortages, enabling safe and dependable operations in the face of rising technological complexity and learning from asset data to accelerate new product development during energy technology maturity over the next twelve months.
Digitization:
To realize the dream of intelligent, clean cities, we need more effective protection, control, automation, and communication technologies — not just to manage the grid itself but also the countless gadgets connected to it. The development of adequate infrastructure is critical to creating a resilient, versatile, and long-lasting grid. There is a lot to play for in terms of growth in solar and energy storage system (ESS) asset aggregation coupled via software to offer the correct power at the right times in front of and behind the meter, from an increase in the usage of digital twins to model energy use and management.
The technologies mentioned above are the key to how power generation assets will become more efficient, the electric grid will become more secure, organizations will become more sustainable, and manufacturers will cut waste.
