| | December 20208E nergy Dilemma is going to be at the heart of an organization both economically and morallyas we move ahead and that's primarily since consumption will go up on one hand and on other hand all organizations will be in need to reduce their carbon footprint. There will be more and more digitization and compute as this will come with its share of energy challenges in form of increased demand of at least 4X and thus Energy Dilemma would be one of the key areas where decision makers would have actions to take.The energy transition journey would be one of the effective ways to handle this challenge. The energy transition will be enabled by information technology, smart technology, policy frameworks and market instruments.Usually one believes that renewables is the only option here and apparently it is just a part of the energy transition. Decision makers have other areas to tap in this journey to make the actions sustainable and economically viable. Some of the other areas which contributing to the Energy Transition Journey are:· Everythingas A Grid (Enabling Integration of Renewables and sustainability solutions)· Commercial Buildings can integrate with the Grid for optimum utilization· Plants can utilize Microgrids for maximum resilience and optimum utilization· Datacenters Can Monetize their under-utilized asset for example extra capacity of the UPS solutions which can double up as Energy Storage· Energy Storageo Another central factor for Energy Transition is energy storage, though long seen as the missing link between intermittent renewable power and constant reliability, energy storage has begun playing a broader role in the energy transition with clear benefits like peak shaving, frequency regulation, feeding back excess capacity to the grid. · Mass introduction of electric transportation infrastructure · As the average cost of lithium-ion batteries has fallen drastically on a mixture of manufacturing economies of scale and technology improvements, companies and consumers alike are increasingly turning to electrification ENERGY TRANSITION - ECONOMICALLY VIABLE AND ROUTE FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTUREDr. Shailendra Shukla, Director Sales & Service, Eaton IndiaVANTAGE POINTDecision makers they will have to find smart ways and tools to monitor, manage, and control their infrastructure and make it smart
