Challenges of Today’s Energy World
• How can I optimize processes?
• How to future-proof the company?
• How can my data be used best?
• Where is my grid at risk?
• Will EVs cause large-scale blackouts?
• How can I take targeted action?
• How can I integrate renewables?
• Will solar cause voltage trouble?
• Are today’s grid planning methods
still relevant?
