At a time when the electricity system is becoming increasingly decentralised, edge computing technologies can have many applications for smart grids. The exploitation of data as close as possible to their source of emission has indeed clear advantages to support the decentralisation of the operation of the electricity network.

Speakers: 

The webinar will present the applications of grid edge technologies for smart grids, illustrated by concrete use cases. The panelists will explain the benefits (performance and resilience, reduced cloud and telecommunication costs, new services, data privacy, etc.), but also the challenges (cybersecurity, additional complexity, skills, industrial challenges, etc.).
