The smarter E Forum (C5.550)

As electrification, decentralised generation and sector coupling accelerate, energy infrastructure planning is becoming increasingly complex. This session explores how digital planning tools, integrated modelling approaches and grid-aware system design are helping utilities, developers and infrastructure operators manage constrained grids while enabling scalable renewable integration. From flexible connection agreements and digital twins to building-level grid planning and cross-sector infrastructure modelling, speakers will present practical approaches for designing resilient and future-ready energy systems.
