Engineering our Way to the Future: Microgrids, Digitization and Automation

Microgrid engineering is evolving, and this presentation explores the future of digitization and automation within these systems.

Presentations and Discussion

Engineering is the heart and soul of the microgrid revolution. This session explores what advances are occurring now in microgrid controls, software & energy storage, and what do they foretell about the future of microgrid operations? Why is a systems approach to security & technology for microgrids and lifecycle operations important? And how might it change? How is AI and automation advancing and how might that influence microgrid offerings and performance?
