Inv. Workshop Power Utility & Regulator & Policy Development Speaker Panel:
This session will address the changing role of the Smart Grid: From passive power distribution
infrastructure to active and agile broker of energy flows
- Key decision for every DSO: what technology, standards and architecture to select in order to
support the energy transition into the future?
- How to cope with technology evolution?
- How to comply with EU CEP requirements for DSO? Can you maintain the Service Level
Agreement with a decentralized grid
- Interoperability, IoT, Smart Grid and Smart City
- What keeps the CEO awake? Security, an intrusion in the network and all devicesean Energy
Package.
- Why is security so important and do we have to choose between communications and
security excellence? What is “good”, what should we be targeting, and why it is necessary for
the long-term of the smart grid.
Re-Focus on Communications & Security Excellence Within Smart Grid
Architectures
- Short-term and long-term business cases for smart meters – highlighting the different view
and drivers for each; low cost smart meters for short-term, but robust and future-proof
solutions for the long-term, based on the latest EU studies.
- Communications as an enabler for the long-term and the implementation of the EU Clean
Energy Package.
- Why is security so important and do we have to choose between communications and
security excellence? What is “good”, what should we be targeting, and why it is necessary for
the long-term of the smart grid.
Cyber-Threat Detection in the Smart Grid | Utility Case Study
- Understanding the difference between protection, detection and response, and why
detection is becoming more important as practical deployments of “smarts” in the low-
voltage grid accelerate.
- The attacker’s perspective – how they will exploit weaknesses in technology, process, people
- The defender’s perspective – the challenges the defenders face.
- The role of detection to augment cyber-security protection systems.
