Based on current policies, India’s energy demand could double by 2040, with electricity demand potentially tripling as a result of increased appliance ownership and cooling needs.

Enter the Distribution Fault Anticipation, or DFA for short. Developed by a team of researchers at Texas A&M, the DFA is a suite of technology designed to monitor grid systems and identify potential problems before they happen. More specifically, it’s a distributed computing system that works autonomously to give operators a non-stop picture of the condition of each circuit.

If your business case depends on the cost of energy or the cost of storage remaining where they are, ask yourself, what if the cost goes down 50%? That’s only 3 years of decline at 20%/year.

The decentralization of our electricity grid is inevitable. Distributed energy resources (DERs) are becoming increasingly attractive for consumers as prices continue to drop and political and environmental pressures continue to mount.

Electricity generation from coal will rise only marginally over that period, at less than 1% per year – and its share will decline from 38% in 2018 to 35% in 2024. This means coal remains by far the single largest source of power supply worldwide.

Technology continues to grow in its importance in all industries, including the utility sector. Utilities face special challenges as they try to meet increasing demands from customers, regulators, and a market that’s becoming increasingly diverse.

As with many industries, the expectations for distribution power companies are that they either hold their operating costs flat year over year, or that they reduce their O&M expenditures each year.

The study on the European interconnector market was carried out by energy data analyst EnAppSys and it showed that France had total net exports of 39.4 TWh during the period from January 1 to November 30, with most of the power flowing to Italy (13.3 TWh) and Germany (11 TWh).

India's power demand fell 4.3% in November from a year ago, representing the fourth straight month of decline, government data showed, potentially reflecting a worsening industrial slowdown which has stifled overall economic growth.
