Recent headlines have reported that blackouts caused havoc in major infrastructure hubs, like London’s Heathrow Airport. These incidents clearly demonstrate how being prepared is key to ensuring a reliable power system.

In this 100th episode of Energy Talks, we feature parts of our Episode 58 to recall what OMICRON blackout preparedness experts Friedrich Almer and Daniel Wiesner describe as essential aspects of preventing and properly dealing with blackouts in power grids.

Friedrich and Daniel highlight various aspects to consider, including the growing complexities of power systems and managing the use of renewable energy, the importance of regular reliability testing and monitoring of substation equipment, and the growing necessity of cybersecurity to prevent malicious power network intrusion.

Over the past four years, we have spoken with experts in the fields of power system testing, data management, the digital transformation of the power grid, cybersecurity and mastering the challenges of a rapidly changing power system.
