Future Networks - Microgrids and the Regulation

4/18/2018

 
Renewables, battery technologies, microgrids. They’re coming, in one form or another, that’s a given. But do they need to be a threat to the utilities of today? Or, could we think of ways to cooperate in order to turn the development into something great for us all – the utilities, the energy consumers, the entire society?

Looking at the development pace for alternative energy sources, it’s only a question of time when a disruptive innovation wipes over the utility business. So what could be done today to keep the utilities in business, and what does the regulation have to do with it?
​Working on his doctoral dissertation on the future of electrical networks, Tarmo Mere, Segment Director for Electric & Gas at Trimble Energy, became familiar with the backcasting method a couple of years ago and found it interesting also for his professional life. “It is a process, or a methodology, not just to design the imaginable future but also to organize today’s work in order to make the preferred kind of a future a reality,” Tarmo explains.
What Future Utilities should Avoid Today to Stay in Business
