Abstract

Our resources are limited, and we need to better make use of what’s around us, giving clean sustainable energies, a solid chance in the future. The world is heading toward a digitized future. Already, an entire generation has grown up immersed in the digital world. This paper talks about recent developments where we can fully digitize the Electrical distribution which help in improving safety for people and assets, increase power reliability and business continuity, optimize operational and energy efficiency, achieve sustainability goals and meet regulatory compliance.
