Synopsis of Lecture:

The energy world is changing. From a concentrated and scaled system, the energy system is evolving to a decentralised system with diverse energy generation sources. The convergence of information technology in the energy sector and the emergence of alternative energy generation sources at scalable levels, are providing new opportunities for producing, distributing, and consuming energy. This opens the way to more sustainable energy future for the benefits of all.
