Methodologies to maximize the integration of renewable sources, including critical hydrogen technologies are considered, as well as the potential for smart prosumers to manager reliability challenges of renewable energy and constant change from the energy transition. Implications are considered across sectors, including regulatory, legal, economic, business, and transport infrastructure, and prosumer interactions with other actors such as DSOs, TSOs, retailers, and BPRs are analyzed.
