Digitalisation, Automation and End-to-End Data and Process Integration

COURSE DURATION

1 Day

CLASS DESCRIPTION

Perhaps more than other industries, engineering for energy has become an increasingly complex process with demands for digitalisation and interconnected services and products in increasing. Thus, a fundamental understanding of utilities applications and energy digitalisation is essential for all systems engineers working in this domain.

The course provides the basics of digitalisation, automation and integration in the environment of power utilities and comparable industries (different types of network operators – transport, gas, railway, etc.). It shows the approaches, that can be taken for internal enterprise data integration and the ways, the utilities in Europe shall be integrated. It also shares some best practice approaches and discusses their chances and risks.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Understand the challenges of application integration for power grid operators (TSO, DSO) and similar industries.
• Know the main integration approaches, tools and solutions.
• Distinguish between different kinds of customers and corresponding process automation solutions.
• Know the requirements towards TSO-centric integration (standards, media, processes).
• Understand the role of cyber-security in the IT / OT integration.
