Pivoting Net-Zero Transition with Data Intelligence
Scrutinizing Energy Strategy and Governance at Today’s Net-Zero
Transition by Using Data Intelligence
Siripong Treetasanatavorn
Sloan Fellow, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Scrutiny at Three Levels:
A. Operational integrity strengthened by real-time, forward-looking supply
forecast is an imperative to today's electricity system, considering a broader
range of sources in the energy mix (e.g., Thailand with a stronger reliance on
solar photovoltaics and onshore wind¹), therefore an increasing challenge in
meeting an expectation from the quality-of-service point of view, considering
security and operational resiliency (premises of the supply-demand balance)
particularly at a reasonable level of the economic value return (e.g., marginal
costs given the operational energy mix versus marginal prices in the market);
B. Strategic planning underpinned by data-driven supply-demand decisions,
especially from perspective of the ongoing net-zero transition, where rational
choices of the structural shift (e.g., from coal and gas to renewable sources
on the supply side, coupling with efficiency improvement on the demand side)
potentially play a substantive role in maintaining the energy equilibrium on a
whole-of-system level (e.g., considering strategic parameters such as reserve
margin but also stronger conducive roles of smart grid infrastructure driven by
intermittency-hedged innovation²), thereby strengthening fundamentals of the
energy economics as the transition advances in the society and the economy;
C. Governance in transition substantiated by grid-level data intelligence of the
energy equilibrium, notably with insights from demand-supply characteristics
in each specific growth sector (e.g., across emerging growth urban areas but
also transportation, logistics and industrial clusters), considering in particular
ecosystem-level complementarities and interdependencies, but also broader
implications in long-run sustainability and resilience terms³—in greater shared
narrative of the global and regional development while leaving no one behind.
