b'FUTURE POWER & ENERGY AWARDThe power & energy generation and distribution industry are facing new challenges at an exponential rate. Within this new frontier, technology is an exciting area where new and better solutions are constantly being devised.Sponsored by National GridNational Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) owns and maintains the high-voltage electricity transmission network in England and Wales. That includes over 7,200 kilometres of overhead line, 2,280 kilometres of underground cable and 346 substations.We move electricity from where its generated, down the motorway of the electricity system, to our direct customers and to the distribution companies who deliver that power to homes and businesses. We play a vital role in connecting millions of people to the energy they use, safely, reliably and efficiently. Through transformational engineering, we are helping our country to achieve its green targets, including by ensuring our network gives fair access to cleaner sources of energy. The transition to a low carbon economy is one of the defining issues of the 21st century, and we cant make a bigger difference in todays, or tomorrows, world than to create a road to net zero.Shortlisted Entries are: Tsinghua University Large capacity DC breaking technologyDC grid is the research focus and the realistic choice of industry. It has become an effective means for high proportion renewable energy consumption and highly reliable. The DC circuit breaker is the core equipment to quickly break the fault current after a short-circuit fault occurs.ToumetisCascadence - Power Transmission & Distribution Predictive AnalyticsCascadence integrates a combination of physics-based and machine learning approaches applied to data from power transmission and distribution networks. The purpose is to provide utility companies with actionable early warning of failing electrical equipment before outages occur.SP Energy Networks Angle DC Pioneering smarter electricity distribution to enable a fair and net zero communityANGLE DC is an international ground-breaking innovation project, which converts two existing 33kV AC circuits to operate as DC. Such a trial increased at least 30% capability of this double 24 MVA AC interconnector circuit. eandt.theiet.org/innovation#eandtawards 9'
