Grids of the Future are sustainable, digital, and flexible
Grids of tomorrow are powered by data and integrated network models. They are more sustainable, resilient, efficient, and flexible. Digitally planned, designed, equipped, and operated, they support the growth of DERs, microgrids, energy communities, and other flexible resources through optimized orchestration across the lifecycle. At Schneider Electric, this is our vision of the next generation network: green and digital.
Europe experiences up to 20% technical losses in its energy power systems.
Power outages and interruptions in the US result in an initial cost of $150 billion.
Power grids are expected to generate 75 times more big data in 2025 vs. 2020.
