As Distributed System Operators (DSOs) face the challenges of increasing electricity demand, maintaining grid reliability, and integrating renewable energy, they must manage a grid composed of diverse assets, sensors, and often limited connectivity. This seminar will address these complexities, offering insights into how DSOs can navigate these obstacles while modernizing their distribution networks.

We will introduce an advanced edge platform specifically designed for electrical distribution utilities, enabling them to enhance connectivity and bring intelligence to the grid. We will dig deeper into technologies such as edge compute, IOT/connectivity, Zonal Autonomous Control (ZAC) in supporting smart grid applications.
