Power system decarbonization is one of the most important pillars for achieving net zero ambitions and accelerating the energy transition journey.This session focuses on the key roles that digitalization plays in accelerating the realization of decarbonization and energy transition ambitions and will showcase how grid digitalization tackles challenges such as the integration of more renewables at different grid voltage levels, heat and transport electrification, and the more "weather-dependent" grid. Additionally, light will be shed on technologies enabling grid digital transformation and on effective digital transformation strategies to realize value for the system.

Off-grid solar systems are often the least expensive option for rural electrification. Solar home systems can power individual households, while mini-grids can supply entire villages. Each comes with its own advantages, disadvantages, and challenges. The aim of this session is to explore challenges as well as success stories. It takes well-functioning components such as battery systems, charge management and inverters to make projects successful. Proper system sizing, maintenance and repair management, as well as a robust financial concept are also necessary. If one of these elements is missing, the electrification will not be sustainable. This session will focus on the aspects mentioned above. The speakers will present successful and unsuccessful approaches and discuss what can be learned from them.
