    IONATE | Building the Technology Backbone for Smart Grids

    IONATE’s hardware innovation transforms the building block of grids – the transformer – into a device with precise data and real-time power flow control capabilities. This new technology solves power quality issues all-in-one, provides grid balancing and, in the future, can serve as a real-time control node in an AI-coordinated smart system, coupling top-down grid orchestration with instantaneous bottom-up control in the physics.

    EIP: Accelerating decentralized, resilient and sustainable energy systems
    Innovation & Technology

    The multidimensional nature of the energy transition is reshaping the global energy system. The need to balance markets, climate and geopolitics is creating more complex systems—requiring greater flexibility and responsiveness in our ability to manage them. What innovations are emerging to meet these needs? What role will new entrants play in managing this complexity? How are financial and regulatory systems adapting to support this transformation? This panel will feature members of the 2024 class of CERAWeek Energy Innovation Pioneers.
