The grid is changing

The entire energy ecosystem is being reshaped, impacting the electricity market and the ageing in a profound and irreversible manner.

Electricity grids globally are facing unprecedented and rapid changes driven by four macro-trends, known as the 4D's

Decarbonization

The drive towards decarbonization continues with some countries already committed to net zero targets over the near term. Global supplies of wind and solar electricity are growing faster than expected, and consumer adoption of small renewable sources speeds up as they become more affordable.

Decarbonisation

Decentralisation

The grid is evermore decentralized with the exponential increase in distributed energy resources (DERs) at the edge of the grid. DERs are fast growing in variety, sophistication and cumulative scale. They aren’t just a part of the current and future energy system: they are going to dominate it.

Decentralisation

Digitalisation

Digital technologies are advancing at an astounding rate: ~ 7.5 million digital devices come online each day. As sensors and processors become more affordable, we can gain visibility of the distribution grid which has historically been a “blind spot'', and we can coordinate DERs to provide grid flexibility.

Digitalisation

Democratisation

Democratization is driving towards the emergence of novel market constructs at a local level in highly disaggregated markets. In time, this will translate into a fully transactive grid where consumers/prosumers are able to trade energy and flexibility with other participants in the energy marketplace.

Amp X was created to address the key challenges associated with the Energy Transition.

Key Challenges of the Energy Transition

caused by increased distributed energy resources (DERs) at the edge of the grid.

Voltage Instability

The rise of DERs has created two-way power flows at the edge of the grid. This causes congestions and voltage instabilities, a primary concern for network operators.

Frequency & Inertia

Large spinning reserves are replaced by variable, intermittent, non-dispatchable renewables, while large dynamic loads (e.g. EVs) increase. Balancing of demand-response becomes much more complex. This causes frequency instabilities and lack of inertia.

Infrastructure costs

Centralized grid upgrade/ reinforcement costs to meet increased demand & electrification of heat & transport sectors. A decentralized & decarbonized generation model, with non-wire alternatives (NWAs) with grid architecture allowing grid resilience and stability, will ultimately be economically advantageous.

Grid Resilience

Extreme weather conditions (i.e. hurricanes, floods, wildfires), increase the likelihood of blackouts. Local resilience of the electricity grid in the face of climate chaos is increasingly needed.

Amp X at COP26

Our EVP and CEO of Amp X, Dr. Irene Di Martino, attended the United Nations' climate conference COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland for a roundtable discussion on the role of flexibility in a decarbonized grid. Our differentiated and innovative approach towards the energy transition is on full display in this powerful video.

Interested but short on time? Irene gives a great overview of the Amp X platform at 14:00 and her point of view on the implementation of the Smart Tx at 1:18.

Watch Event
Watch: Amp X's proprietary Digital Energy Assistant, Alice, was trialed in homes across the UK with Energy Systems Catapult. It enables user-centric participation in Demand Side Management (DSM).
Delivering demand-side flexibility at scale from behind-the-meter consumers will be a game-changing innovation - reducing costs and carbon impact of residential and C&I energy use, providing suppliers with a way to manage their price and volume risks, and enabling network companies to plan and operate their infrastructure more efficiently.
