Power Grids Under Attack: Are TSOs Prepared for New Data and Cyber Threats?

Power Grids Under Attack: Are TSOs Prepared for New Cyber Threats? — Florian Kolb

Distributed assets, flexibility platforms and VPPs give transmission operators new tools — and a much larger attack surface. Why air-gapping no longer works, and why TSOs need to secure the data itself.

Powering the Future: Choosing the Right AI for Virtual Power Plants

Choosing the Right AI for Virtual Power Plants — Florian Kolb

Supervised, unsupervised, deep or reinforcement learning? Why reinforcement learning fits the dynamic control problem of virtual power plants — how it works, what it improves, and where it still struggles.

Digital Power Plants: What Can Operators of Renewable and Thermal Power Plants Learn from One Another to Become AI-Ready?

Digital Power Plants: How Generators Become AI-Ready — Florian Kolb

End-to-end digitalization can add 20–30% EBITDA to thermal plants — and renewables have the same untapped upside. How a virtual operations center makes generation assets AI-ready without weakening security.

Benefits and Challenges of Virtual Power Plants

Benefits and Challenges of Virtual Power Plants — Florian Kolb

VPPs turn decentralized assets into grid flexibility and new income — and multiply the energy system’s attack surface. A primer on what they deliver and what stands in the way.

Data and Cyber Security Threats for EV Charging Infrastructure: How to Protect Energy and Transportation Infrastructure

Data and Cyber Security Threats for EV Charging Infrastructure — Florian Kolb

Hundreds of thousands of EV chargers are connecting to critical energy infrastructure — each one a potential entry point. Why charging security lags behind, and why device-level zero trust is needed.
