Electricity Supply Systems of the Future. Compact Studies : Springer : 9783030444860 : 3030444864 : 22 Jul 2021 : This book offers a vision of the future of electricity supply systems and CIGRE's views on the know-how that will be needed to manage the transition toward them.  A variety of factors are driving a transition of electricity supply systems to new supply models, in particular the increasing use of renewable sources, environmental factors and developments in ICT technologies. These factors suggest that there are two possible models for power network development, and that those models are not necessarily exclusive:   1. An increasing importance of large networks for bulk transmission capable of interconnecting load regions and large centralized renewable generation resources, including offshore and of providing more interconnections between the various countries and energy markets.  2. An emergence of clusters of small, largely self-contained distribution networks, which inc
