A key factor for the success of the new energy world is the digitalization of the energy industry, as it opens up the entire energy and transport system to new technological developments.
For example, weather-related energy supply requires precise knowledge of the current local conditions of wind and sun in order to make the most accurate forecasts for electricity generation. Digitization facilitates the virtual linking of decentralized power generators or energy storage systems in virtual power plants, as well as at the level of individual producers and consumers. These examples suffice to show: Digitalzation makes the new energy world smart.
