The global energy sector is undergoing significant change, with more emphasis on renewable projects, microgrids and distributed generation, sector firms say.
“There is an ongoing shift to smaller generation projects, along with more renewable projects, specifically solar photovoltaic, wind, microgrids and distributed generation,” says Ed Walsh, president of Black & Veatch’s power business. “Renewables, microgrids and distributed generation also drive the need for a more robust and flexible transmission and distribution model.”
