SP Energy Networks and Digital Catapult, in a consortium with University of Strathclyde and National Grid ESO, have received funding from Ofgem’s Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) to explore how an innovative, open and interoperable digital twin of the UK’s electricity transmission and distribution networks can aid decision making when managing and balancing energy resources and assets. The project will also help to improve understanding of the potential role of advanced digital technologies in achieving the UK’s net zero targets.
