5 Things you need to know about 5G Heat (Fifth Generation Heat!)
In my blog ‘How will energy look in 2030? I have made 10 predictions for the next 10 years! I predicted that by 2030 all city centres will have some form of fifth generation heat network. The trend in heat networks has been to reduce system temperature. Older networks use steam to transmit heat, with more recent systems using water at around 80 degrees. In practice fourth and fifth generation networks are likely to merge. Unlike your phone you do not get a little logo in the top left corner of your screen saying you are using 5G Heat. Fifth generation is something that can happen quietly in the the background with the end user not really knowing! There remain some significant challenges with fifth generation technology. There are several case studies in operation now such as E.ONs medicon village which are showing some interesting performance. And there is also some interesting research being lead by South Bank University (amongst others).

Key findings on digitalisation technologies to increase energy efficiency in electric motor driven systems
Worldwide, electric motor systems consume about 10,700 TWh annually worldwide and were responsible for 53% of the global electric energy consumption in 2016. This corresponds to approximately the combined electricity consumption of China. Digitalization technologies for electric motor driven systems will have a significant impact on the motor systems industry, offering vast potential for improvements in performance, efficiency, and cost.
