#### Renewable Energy Systems in a Connected World

Smart grids, automated control systems, AI-driven optimisation — the digitalisation of energy systems is well underway. But as these systems become more connected, they also become more vulnerable. How do we design energy infrastructure that is both intelligent and secure?

This Renewable Energy Expert Talk brings together perspectives from deep tech, cybersecurity and applied research to explore what digitalisation means in practice for the next generation of renewable energy systems.
