European Transmission and Distribution Systems – Ready for Smart Grids

Digital and IoT solutions are making power grids smart. They
create new opportunities to integrate renewable energies into the
grids. Smart grids can react intelligently and adaptively to
changes in the grid. Energy intelligence enables the use of data
in the grid for economical, flexible and secure grid operation.
This also gives rise to new business opportunities, for example
at the grid edge, the transition from the public power grid to
the private grid. Dr. Michael Weinhold, Head of Technology and
Innovation at Siemens Smart Infrastructure, tells us what these
look like and why smart grids are indispensable for the new
energy world.
