The changing landscape of power systems

Today’s societies are extremely dependent on uninterrupted, secure power supply. Rapidly increasing renewable energy production, energy storages, increasing number of electric vehicles, and re-electrification of industrial processes are all changing the dynamics of the power system. Power generation and consumption must be in balance and control every second, even in this ever-evolving situation.

Challenges facing energy infrastructure owners and operators

Owners and operators of energy infrastructure are facing multiple challenges. Supply security needs to be maintained or even improved, while transmission costs are expected to be kept on reasonable levels. On the other hand, the tightened geopolitical situation has significantly increased risk for cyber-attacks, hybrid operations, sabotage and interference in critical infrastructure. On top of this comes often resource and capability related challenges – are the asset owners and operators always able to secure needed capacity and competence to tackle these complex and simultaneous challenges.
