b'MOST CUTTING EDGE SOLUTION IN POWER AND ENERGYThe power and 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 around 7200km kilometres of overhead line, about 2800km kilometres of underground cable and 350 substations. We move electricity from where its generated, down the motorway of the electricity system, to our direct customers and to the distribution companies that 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 sustainability targets, by ensuring our network gives fair access to clean 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: China Electric Power Research InstituteHPLC sets up the energy internet communication highwayChina Electric Power Research InstituteMethod and apparatus for determining abnormal state of electricity metersLimejumpThe integration & optimisation of Europes largest battery project - MinteyOxford PVPerovskite photovoltaics will convert more energy from the power of the sun to accelerate deployment of solar energy, enabling sustainable, affordable energy for communities around the world.Tsinghua UniversityKey technologies of novel wide-band electromagnetic sensors and panoramic information perceptions for intelligent power gridsSiemens Gamesa Renewable Energy and Scottish Power RenewablesWind farm demonstration of new grid forming controls, including islanding, grid resynchronisation and black start, required for future power systems dominated by renewable energy sourcesVaarstVaarsts latest innovation, SubSLAM X2, an industry game changer in subsea inspection for the energy sector, is the first real-time intelligent data collection system to deliver underwater 3D modelling, with sub-millimetre accuracy, as an alternative to conventional video imagery and other 3D modelling systems.eandt.theiet.org/innovation#eandtawards 10'
