Die radikal neue Art der Bürgerbeteiligung bei erneuerbaren Energieanlagen

Speaker: Prof. Dr. Carsten H. Hahn, University of Applied Sciences, Karlsruhe Der Bedarf an der Beteiligung von Bürgerinnen und Bürger an erneuerbaren Energieanlagen wächst stetig. Dabei sollte darauf geachtet werden, dass sich Bürgerinnen und Bürger nicht nur an der Diskussion des Projektes beteiligen können, sondern selbst Teilhaber werden können, um die Bindung an die Anlage zu erhöhen. Der völlig neue vorgestellte Ansatz ermöglicht das Real-Time Tracking des produzierten Stroms der Anlage in Abhängigkeit des jeweiligen Anteils. Außerdem werden die technischen Metriken wie KWH in für alle verständliche Metriken wie "100km Distanz für ein E-Auto" übersetzt, so dass jeder Teilhaber seinen persönlichen Beitrag zur Energiewende versteht und veranschaulicht bekommt.

Challenges in the Integration of IT and OT in the Wind Energy Sector I SCADA MINDS

Speaker: Nicolai Cryer Nicolai Cryer from SCADA MINDS sheds light on the crucial synergy between these two technological fronts. Modern wind turbines generate massive amounts of data. In this post, we discuss the challenges associated with operationalizing the large volumes of data and the long and intricate path from Operational Technology (OT) to Information Technology (IT) that is necessary to operate and maintain the wind turbines. Breaking Organizational Boundaries: Conway's Law states, "The structure of software will mirror the structure of the organization that built it," emphasizing that the structure of software reflects the organization's hierarchy. To achieve full integration between IT and OT, it requires breaking down organizational silos. In this post, Nicolai Cryer will illuminate how cross-organizational collaboration, clear business objectives, and a visionary DevOps approach are the keys to success. Creating Confidence through Simulation: OT simulation is a critical part of the effective DevOps process. With a focus on integrity and cybersecurity, it is often highly advantageous to conduct virtual simulations of OT systems, enabling comprehensive validation of OT/IT integration software. This allows for testing and optimizing the software without affecting active installations.

Trust your hunch & verify

Speaker: Dolphi Untch, outercirc GmbH In der heutigen dynamischen Geschäftswelt ist die Bewahrung eines klaren Verstandes von entscheidender Bedeutung. Angesichts rascher technologischer Entwicklungen und gelegentlicher bösartiger Absichten im digitalen Raum können FOMO (die Angst, etwas zu verpassen) und FUD (die Angst vor Unsicherheit) unsere Entscheidungen beeinflussen. Dabei ist es essenziell, auf unsere menschliche Intuition zu vertrauen und Anomalien zu Überprüfen. So bewahren wir inmitten dieser rasanten Cyberbedrohungen unsere digitale Sicherheit - privat und im Unternehmen. Diese Grundprinzipien gewinnen angesichts von Social Engineering, der Manipulation durch Vertrauensmissbrauch, zusätzliche Relevanz.
