Panel Discussion: Digitalisation & Smart Grid Intelligence: From Sensors to AI – Transforming Asset Management for TSOs and DSOs
Digitalisation is reshaping how TSOs and DSOs monitor and optimise grid assets through sensors, IIoT, cloud platforms, digital twins, and AI. This session explores how these tools enable predictive operations, smarter forecasting, and greater grid resilience. It will also examine the cybersecurity challenges that come with a more connected and decentralised energy system.
