IN Brief:
- The April edition examines grid readiness as demand, decentralised assets, and industrial electrification accelerate.
- Coverage links OT cybersecurity, voltage control, flexibility, data centres, autonomous sites, and Amendment 4.
- The issue frames electrification as an operational delivery challenge for networks, contractors, energy managers, and site engineers.
The April edition of IN Power comes at a point where the electrical system is being asked to absorb more demand, more digital control, and more operational risk than many legacy networks were designed to manage.
Inside, the issue follows that pressure from several directions. Dragos examines the cyber exposure created by decentralised energy assets, while our grid automation analysis looks at why voltage observability and reactive power coordination now belong in everyday operation. Nexans and nPower focus on the people and commercial tools needed to turn electrification into deliverable projects, from field technicians to demand flexibility.
Cressall and Schneider Electric then bring the argument back to site level: protection, switching, metering, control data, and the humble switchboard still decide whether digital ambition survives contact with plant reality.
The grid is changing quickly. The response has to become faster than the demand curve.
