Smart & Future Power Systems Session
This session explores the evolution of traditional energy networks into intelligent, resilient, and digitized infrastructures. We will begin by examining Grid Modernization, focusing on the transition from legacy systems to Smart Grid Architectures specifically tailored to Sudan’s unique geography and infrastructure needs. The discussion will highlight the critical role of Microgrids and Decentralization in providing energy access to remote, off-grid areas through community-level generation. Furthermore, the session will delve into Demand Side Management (DSM), analyzing how smart metering and data-driven incentives can optimize load distribution during peak hours. Finally, we will address the essential pillar of Cybersecurity, discussing the strategies required to protect an increasingly digital and interconnected grid from emerging cyber threats and ensuring the long-term integrity of the national power supply.
