Download our point of view<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Within the first two installments of this short series, we explored the challenges facing all participants in the energy industry, as we strive to get back on target for Net Zero.  Now it\u2019s time to focus all our collective energies on the future, on the opportunities before us and the enormity of the prize to be won.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s our firm conviction at Capgemini that there are so many reasons for real optimism, that within this huge industry there already exist the skills, the experience and the ingenuity required, so that, when deployed in combination, we can deliver the viable, long-term market mechanisms, systems and solutions that will enable us to achieve our global goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this final Point of View, we share with you where our thinking, of a fully reimagined, connected and integrated 2050 energy system; where key stakeholders will contribute to a whole far greater than the sum of its parts \u2013 by uniting in a common cause, with confidence that we have the right destination in sight and that our roadmap is sound. Only then can we all move forward together with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capgemini\u2019s 2050 energy vision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Seamless prosumer living<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In 2050, consumers of energy are now prosumers \u200b\u2013 producing, storing, trading and consuming as our needs demand, in a flexible, smart, convenient and affordable energy system.  \u200bI trade with my neighbour through micro grids and local community battery storage infrastructure, or shift excess generation back to the grid, when tariffs are attractive.  \u200bI drive an EV, use a government grant to move from gas to electric, and there are solar panels on my roof. \u200bMy smart meter is truly smart and works with any supplier, giving me choice between many providers of services across all my needs, enabling me to instantly switch to those that meet my unique selection criteria and specific service quality and price requirements. At any time, I can easily connect my appliance to my standards-based smart energy hub, available from my energy services provider or other leading brands, and enable it to make my home function in a more sustainable and seamless manner, interoperable with any other appliances I buy, using open standard service agreements and terms.  When I travel I use low carbon services such as self-driving e-cabs, hydrogen buses, electric trains, biofuel powered planes.\u200b In summary, I am adapted, adopted, and expecting simplicity, interoperability, automation and increasingly autonomous operations, that are responsive to my needs and any necessary external factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embracing changed patterns of energy generation<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Net zero requires consistent, rapid growth in renewable generation and storage, with smart management and controls. The new energy system now features billions of assets, in a complex, hyper-connected and interoperable network. It has a common approach, with fully integrated databases, a decentralised, federated model based on trust, with service providers aware of the location, capabilities, operating thresholds, services and service agreements provided by every energy asset, such as smart home energy controllers, generation assets, storage and flexibility assets. Today automation and autonomous operations are the norm, with smart energy management systems automatically sharing control signals between them, to operate and balance the system, matching supply and demand, meeting standards of service, and responding to the needs and actions of consumers, as they elect to \u2018charge now\u2019 or \u2018charge when cheapest\/most sustainable\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Enabled by an integrated energy system<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our vision of the market requires an independent hub organisation, let\u2019s call it an Energy Agency, to fulfil this integration role in Energy X.0. In our new energy world, this Agency is ensuring an evolving blueprint that meets societal energy needs, driving standards and overseeing the operation of a flexible, responsive, net zero energy system, utilising common services and platforms. It knows what all the services, products and assets are, what they do, how and where to find them, how to communicate with them and what the standard service agreements are for their use, such as time, capacity, quality and cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our new system enables the use of energy contracting and clearing services as the norm, perhaps characterised by a central clearing platform. There is faster settlement in seconds and minutes, not weeks for the vast majority of energy, with automated processing of contractual terms and value from the service agreements. There are simplified processes, lower overheads and capital requirements, and reduced barriers to cash flow throughout the system. There is now a more flexible consumer experience, including financing, which has enabled an increase in choice about how I pay for my broader range of energy-as-a-service requirements and the differentiated service levels they now offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How do we achieve our vision? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Markets seldom work well on their own. Affordable, sustainable energy is critical, not just for businesses and consumers, but for all of national infrastructure, from schools and hospitals to transport and security. Effective policy, governance and management is necessary to ensure the market works for everybody and provides at least a universal standard of service, competition, and similarly, plays a key role in driving innovation, delivering for the consumer and driving down costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telecoms and the internet provide informative examples of how this can work for energy. Central standards bodies define the blueprint \u2013 how the system as a whole works. They also enable a flexible way in which to extend and create new standards that enable rapid definition and introduction of new products and services, and which incentivise interoperability. Energy needs its own equivalent, moving away from the monolithic legacy \u2018industry codes\u2019 to a flexible agile mechanism that drives agility and innovation, supported by standards and interoperability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We talked before about having all the ingredients and a recipe for success and that the key will be leveraging the right technologies to enable a new market to function effectively.  In common with other industries who have embraced a new market construct, most of the key technologies already exist. In a similar vein to an old Franklin saying of  \u2018well done is better than well said\u2019 , Capgemini are not just energy analysts and commentators. For example, alongside some of our key clients (EDF, Engie, Schneider, Total, Volkswagen), Capgemini is a shareholder in InnoEnergy, which has invested in more than 300 clean energy start-ups to exploit technologies like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Digital Twin technology<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Automation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Augmented Reality<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Internet of Things (IoT)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    To solve energy industry problems. Take AI, and smart energy grids, for instance. When exploited effectively, AI can play a vital role in the management of smart energy grids, to overcome the inherently variable and uncertain nature of generation from renewables. Equally, it can be applied to the ever-changing nature of demand and when combined with Automation could feasibly have a role in reducing demand at key times, as we move to uncertainty of supply surrounding renewable energy. It will allow physical assets to be interconnected and to communicate with each other through the vast flows of data in real time \u2013 with no need for manual intervention or human intelligence. the need to control and optimise flows and consumptions, an increased pressure on maintenance costs and the evolution from traditional to \u201csmart\u201d infrastructure and grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With the need to control and optimise flows and consumptions, and increased pressure on maintenance costs alongside the evolution from traditional to smart infrastructure and grid, it\u2019s our belief that exploiting such technologies can be the only way to approach the leapfrog required to get to the Energy X.0. state we described in our previous bulletin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Achieving our 2050 energy vision \u2013 four important steps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    1. We introduced the concept of seamless prosumer living and the expectation of smart energy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This already exists today with much consumer technology connected to the internet \u2013 smart home assistants for example \u2013 providing a proven and virtually seamless experience. Contrast this with today\u2019s electricity, gas and heating situation \u2013 with isolated appliances failing to deliver the value for consumers that is tantalisingly at their fingertips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We must seize the opportunity to develop and implement standards and protocols that enable a seamless experience managing our most hungry energy consuming items \u2013 heat pumps, fridges, EV charging \u2013 that make sustainability simple. As a consumer I want to choose to charge when cheapest or charge now for my EV. I want to be able to manage the cost of my heating for my home, be smart about appliance usage by setting sensors to work when capacity is high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This would consist of a simple registration process for all products and services. During registration, the common data needed to describe the solution is provided, enabling:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • basic qualification processes (do you meet the required standards?)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • search (have you provided the necessary data?)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • trust (are you who you say you are?), and<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • value (cost and sustainability metrics).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/a><\/td>In this way we\u2019re essentially leveraging the premise of an eBay or an Amazon marketplace to enable consumers to find, compare, select, purchase, or subscribe to what they need, from a competitive landscape of providers, with easy fulfilment and great customer service. Building on the existing work done by projects like TraDER and Piclo, or products in the industry like KrakenFlex which allows digitally controlled and optimised Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) it would be possible to expand the scope, which allows generators to transact directly with flexible assets, to go further and expose that flexibility as \u2018levels of service\u2019 to be selected directly by the consumer.
      \u2800<\/code><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Existing proven mechanisms to source and deliver technology-enabled platforms, delivering a common service to society in an economically efficient way, are all out there. The technologies and standards to enable this are proven in the internet world \u2013 TLS security, e-commerce platforms, HTTP, LDAP-style directories and registries and federated identity. All we need is ambition and galvanised, coordinated action to make it happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      2. Registering and connecting assets, harnessing data flow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/a><\/td>Today\u2019s energy industry is characterised by multiple, disparate asset databases. For our vision to become reality we need a common approach, with complete integration between databases. Other industries have proven the criticality of accurate and up-to-date asset registers. Mobile phones wouldn\u2019t work without them; all vehicles on the road must be centrally registered; the core of the internet is the same. This is an essential principle that the energy ecosystem must embrace.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      In Energy X.0., data and physical assets will grow exponentially, embracing smart home energy controllers, smart devices\/consumer goods and appliances, generation, storage and flexibility assets. It is a key building block enabling whole system visibility. When aligned with efficient operations, it will provide the foundation data for the systemwide digital twin, now recognised as a must for the future, to enable a digitalised energy system across the planning and operational lifecycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Again, the technologies for this exist today \u2013 flexible engineering, product and asset management solutions, data interchange standards, visualisation technologies and integration and automation pipelines \u2013 to join it together. All that\u2019s required is an agile approach, governance and standards, a flexible target blueprint that we agree on and the associated programmes to deliver the vision, ambition and galvanised action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      3. Control room automation \u2013 energy flow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/a><\/td>With billions of hyper connected and interoperable assets, compared to today\u2019s siloed system of transmission, distribution and other networks, mostly dominated by large generators, the new system will demand far higher levels of automation and autonomous operation.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      This represents a step change in how we think, how we operate, how we leverage data, as well as cultural and behavioural change. In tackling this massively increased scale, we can learn from the industrialisation of IT, which itself has transitioned from server rooms to enterprise data centres to hyperscale cloud operations, with increased efficiency, reliability availability, all with cost efficiency.  We may also need to learn to think differently \u2013 for example, IT has moved from designing for resilience to designing to be failure tolerant, becoming more simple and efficient at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      At Capgemini we\u2019ve been at the forefront of the change within IT and can bring this insight to the energy industry. Moreover, we are involved in creating the infrastructure and control rooms of the future.  At Telenor Connexion for example, the IoT division of the Telenor Group, one of the world\u2019s largest mobile network operators, we built an advanced, cloud based, real-time troubleshooting toolset which provides unique, live insights into all their global mobiles and networks and all connected devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      4. Settlement in real-time \u2013 money flow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Finally, if Energy X.0 is real-time, seamless, flexible and sustainable, then the associated financial flows also need fundamental change. Today\u2019s energy finance, with monthly and year-plus settlement processes, can learn from the financial markets \u2013 real time trades, rapid settlement, transparent pricing signals for all players, clarity on the true costs, transaction charges, taxes and duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      At Capgemini, our capital markets and financial services capability has been grown over decades of working with companies like Euroclear and most of the leading banks and securities houses. With a global team of 6,500 capital markets professionals and 60,000 financial services professionals, we have provided innovative ideas for technology transformation and operational efficiency improvement to drive new business and operating models, and innovative payments roadmaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/a><\/td>We can bring this skill to the energy market to enable the vision, to drive the ambition and stimulate the  coordinated action required to deliver transparent pricing signals. In turn this will drive behavioural change for individual and business consumers alike, enabling them to reduce consumption at times of higher prices, and swift and easy switching between suppliers to access energy from the most sustainable sources.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      The UK energy industry has all the tools at its disposal. Together we can learn from the successes of other industries. We\u2019d love to play our part to help you to apply the vision, ambition and coordinated action that will transform this powerhouse industry, and meet our shared global goals. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If you\u2019d like to discuss our vision for the energy industry of the future or share your point of view, we\u2019d love to talk to you, to see how we can collaborate for the greater good, for Net Zero in 2050.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
