This paper investigates the key technologies that underpin the digitisation of energy and examines their potential impacts. Understand the effects new technologies will have on the current energy system, The new challenges they will pose, and the policies and regulatory measures which will assist in making them a success. This paper considers four technological areas of digitalisation: big data; machine learning and AI; the Internet of things; and distributed ledger technology, often referred to as the blockchain.

3. This paper investigates the key technologies that underpin the
digitisation of energy and examines their potential impacts.
Understand the effects new technologies will have on the current
energy system,
The new challenges they will pose, and the policies and regulatory
measures which will assist in making them a success.
This paper considers four technological areas of digitalisation: big
data; machine learning and AI; the Internet of things; and
distributed ledger technology, often referred to as the blockchain.
BACKGROUND OF THE
STUDY
NEW BUSINESS MODELS & DIGITALIZATION IN THE ENERGY SECTOR

4. Vast amounts of data can be generated at all stages of the energy supply
chain, with the creation and use of computerised information and
processing, It promises a lot for every segment of the energy ecosystem:
households, prosumers, distribution, transmission, generation and retail
and is frequently stated as likely to lead to a transformation of the energy
system.
How well smart energy, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Blockchain
Technology can transform the energy sector by looking at the business
models of 40 interesting new start-up energy companies from around the
world.
