Panel 4: Grid Enhancement – Trends and Challenges
As investments in renewable energy sources (RES) accelerate, the need for grid enhancement becomes critical. With RES being unstable, advanced management systems are essential. Transmission (TSO) and distribution systems operators (DSO) play a crucial role in supporting and balancing these needs. How are we progressing with storage systems, smart grids, grid modernization, and grid cybersecurity to ensure fewer transmission losses, preparedness during outages, resilience, and response to cyber-attacks? How can governments and the private sector invest in grid modernization?
