After completing this course, participants will be able to:

• identify the areas of the power sector which are most affected by digitalisation,
• assess potential advantages for society, the economy, and market participants arising from the digitalisation of the power sector,
• identify and explain the most important technologies which form the basis for the current digitalisation of the power sector,
• explain how these technologies can be applied in order to optimise generation, transmission, storage and consumption of electrical power,
• understand which aspects of digitalisation support decarbonisation and energy efficiency, and which can put these objectives at risk,
• demonstrate how digital technologies shape existing markets and processes, and how they may create new ones and
• describe the risks arising from increasing digitalisation of the power sector and create counter measures against potential attacks.
