Abstract

Building on IRENA’s 2025 G7 report, Digitalisation and AI for power system transformation: Perspectives for the G7, this publication shifts the focus from frameworks to implementation by presenting six practical case studies on digitalisation and artificial intelligence in power systems.

Elaborating on IRENA’s five digitalisation value clusters – monitoring, forecasting, operational optimisation, end-user automation and transparency – this report features practical implementations that are already delivering in real-world settings to support renewable energy integration, grid reliability and system flexibility.

Drawing on insights from IRENA Innovation Week 2025, the report examines digital solutions for grid operation and distributed energy resource management. The case studies cover dynamic congestion management, predictive grid maintenance, non-firm connections, interoperability standards, energy management systems, virtual power plants, battery storage and distributed energy resource management systems. Together, they illustrate how digitalisation can unlock latent grid capacity, reduce curtailment, improve asset performance, enable flexible demand and create new value streams for consumers and market participants.
