The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology into power grids is revolutionising how electricity is managed.

Grid modernization isn’t just about deployment; it’s about rigorously testing systems to ensure reliability in real-world conditions.

This combination of Raspberry Pi and OTA technology makes energy systems more adaptable and cost-effective to maintain.

Tech giants are backing a $500 billion effort, announced by President Trump and dubbed the Stargate Project, to add data centres across the U.S.

The integration of smart technologies and renewable energy sources has created new vulnerabilities that malicious actors are eager to exploit.

The Dong Seoul substation in Hanam-si, Gyeonggi-do, will be transformed into a resident-friendly “complex substation”.

The traditional power grid is undergoing a radical transformation, thanks to the advent of autonomous energy systems.

From advanced meters to AI-enabled sensors, here’s how smart grid technology will transform the energy sector in 2025.

As the energy sector continues to evolve, this digital transformation of transformer substations represents a crucial step towards developing grids that are fit for the future, capable of handling the complexities of renewable energy integration, and meeting the changing demands of consumers.

One of the most innovative aspects is the use of automated provisioning and monitoring through proprietary software.

Innovations in power distribution address complexities from the push towards net-zero emissions and integration of renewable energy sources.

The grid is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the need for greater resilience and reliability.

Hitachi Energy combined with eks Energy now offers enhanced solutions for utilities, developers, and system integrators.

Many power grid systems are not designed with cybersecurity in mind, making them vulnerable to attacks.

The security of CI will be dealt another blow due to the diminished efficacy of current encryption methods, driven by steal-now, decrypt-later threats and the impending development of a cryptographically relevant quantum computer.

Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs), utilized for control and monitoring, increase the surface area to threats.

The potential rise of quantum computing could render many of today’s encryption methods obsolete.

BCUs are at the heart of substation automation.
