We’ve published a new report that looks at adaptability and interdependence across energy networks, communications, and infrastructure in an increasingly interconnected world: Interdependencies and resilience in digital transformation.
With increased homeworking, there is a need to consider the wider impact of the digital transition. With the increasing use of IoT, artificial intelligence digital technology interdependency will only increase. The further we go down the path of distributed renewables, smart meters with time-of-use tariffs, IoT appliances, programmable electric vehicle chargers and heat pump systems, the greater the complexity and the scope for unforeseen issues. We believe that a secure, robust, and resilient operational telecommunications capability must be prioritised by Government and the UK energy network operators.
In our report we list key recommendations and share case studies on the challenges, barriers and next steps. We urge you to log in to your online IET Community account and leave your thoughts, questions or feedback below.
