This case study is part of an Ericsson 5G for Industries series, in which we look more closely at the actual business values associated with introducing mobile connectivity.
Renewables demand overhaul of power grids Emissions from fossil fuel powered energy generation are a major contributor to global warming. The UN estimates that up to 85 percent of electricity must be renewable by 2050, in order to combat the effects of climate change.

As a consequence, society is investing in renewable energy such as solar and wind. At the same time, consumers are becoming “prosumers”, with house owners encouraged to install solar panels and other energy-generating sources.
Electricity is a difficult product to store; therefore, a balance between generation and consumption is vital. Moving towards solar and wind may also lead to increased risk of network disturbances, due to both the way these energy sources work and their inherent lower predictability. More and faster responses to adjust the balance between generation and consumption will thus be needed in the future. Connectivity can play a key role when it comes to enabling this need of fast and accurate power grid balancing.
