Digital Transformation at Scale: Modernization of the Aging Electrical Grid

(ft. Intel & Zededa)

The world of electrical energy has shifted dramatically in the past few decades, and this shift has been outpacing the modernization of the electrical grid itself. This is causing a growing sense of concern and urgency around modernization of electrical infrastructure.

To move forward and solve the challenges of a changing electrical grid landscape there are two options. There is always the possibility to build more infrastructure, but this is expensive, multifaceted, and would take a lot of time. The second and best option is to lean on new technologies, such as Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and Edge Intelligence. Adding edge intelligence to the electrical grid means it will transform into a grid of micro grids on a system of systems that is more intelligent than ever before. This built-in intelligence will allow us to have more insight into day-to-day operations and what’s to come.

InnoTalks is an online program that brings users, field experts, and researchers together to talk about enabling successful digital transformation in industrial automation & IoT. Topics include practical solutions for OT and IT convergence, from the edge to the cloud, in order to expand and enrich the industrial IoT ecosystem.
