Course details

A large part of the power sector is already affected by digitalisation. The more that generation shifts from centralised thermal systems to decentralised, renewable systems, the greater the potential application of modern, digital tools in system control. Digitalisation is the key technology that makes it possible to organise decentralised networks and thus contribute to decarbonisation while maintaining a high level of security of supply.

In this course, you will be shown the reasons why digitalisation is a key driver for building the sustainable power systems of the future and how it can contribute to decarbonisation.

This course focuses on:

Energy economics background of digitalisation of the power sector
Opportunities and risks of digitalisation for sustainability and decarbonisation
Key technologies
Smart generation, transmission and consumption
Smart markets and process
Risks and cyber security

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

Identify the areas of the power sector which are most affected by digitalisation
Assess potential advantages for society, the economy, and market participants arising from the digitalisation of the power sector
Identify and explain the most important technologies which form the basis for the current digitalisation of the power sector
Explain how these technologies can be applied in order to optimise generation, transmission, storage and consumption of electrical power
Understand which aspects of digitalisation support decarbonisation and energy efficiency, and which can put these objectives at risk
Demonstrate how digital technologies shape existing markets and processes, and how they may create new ones
Describe the risks arising from increasing digitalisation of the power sector and create counter measures against potential attacks

This training suits those who:

Are involved in the energy sector and want to understand the link between digitalisation and energy
Would like to get information about current trends in smart grid development
