Grid integration: making it smart AND secure

System integration

When: Wednesday, 26 September 2018, 15:00 - 16:15
Where: Room: Hamburg

Session description

Integration of wind power into power systems has many aspects. So far, a lot of focus has been put on the technical aspects of operating grids with a large share of wind energy. In this session, we discuss the integration of wind power from a digital perspective, addressing the software aspects of integration. This includes data sets and applications necessary to develop and/or enhance, to allow a greater controllability of the power systems accommodating vast amounts of wind energy. A good part of the session discusses the cybersecurity aspects of protecting and transferring data between systems and applications.

Learning objectives

What are the key requirements for a proper integration of wind energy systems into the power systems, from a digital perspective
Where we are today and what should we do next to accelerate this integration
How can we protect – from a cybersecurity point of view – and ensure a proper integration of all digital solutions in an energy ecosystem
