A paradigm change in energy: the new electricity age
Thomas Bosselmann, Siemens AG (Germany)
Electric energy will become the backbone of future industrial development. Fossil fuel resources are still available, but the exploration will become increasingly costly. The share of renewable sources in power generation will increase significantly. Focusing on energy efficiency, condition monitoring systems will be implemented along the complete power generation and distribution chain. Smart sensors will function as the eyes for controlling the smart grid.
