SUMMARY:Electrification for Energy Transition: Challenges and Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:The energy sector\, especially electric power systems\, is fundamental to modern society. It is poised to play an increasingly vital role in achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. With approximately 70% of greenhouse gas emissions stemming from energy used by industrial\, commercial\, institutional\, residential\, and transportation sectors\, decarbonizing their energy supply is essential. Elevating electrification – by shifting from fossil fuels to electricity – emerges as a key strategy\, exemplified by electric vehicles\, energy-efficient buildings powered by renewables\, and industrial process changes.\nTo meet climate goals\, the share of electricity in final energy consumption must rise from 20-25% today to 50-60% by 2050. This transition requires integrating large-scale variable renewable energy sources into resilient grids\, plus fundamentally transforming system design\, planning\, and operation. The short timeline presents significant challenges demanding rapid investments\, increased intelligence\, and enhanced flexibility. The role of metrology for enhancing observability with sufficient accuracy at the distribution grid and coordination between Transmission and Distribution System Operators (TSO/DSO) will be highlighted. This is a critical aspect of the intensified electrification and maintaining system resilience. The presentation will explore key decarbonization challenges\, their impact on power system evolution\, and emerging paradigm shifts\, with insights and examples from decarbonization in France.\nSpeaker(s): Nouredine Hadjsaid\,\nAgenda:\nGathering and Networking: 12:00 p.m. – 12:15 p.m.\, EST\nSeminar:  12:15 p.m. – 1:15 p.m.\, EST\nRoom: Event Room\, Bldg: Hub350\, 350 Legget Drive\, Kanata North Technology Park\, Kanata \, Ontario\, Canada\, K2K 0G7\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/565091
