Information Systems and Telecommunications

Digital systems within electric power utilities have progressively received an increased attention in the last decades. With the contribution of SC D2 members, this chapter provides a snapshot of the state of art technologies for the sector, and builds up a vision of the envisioned developments for the future electricity supply systems, also taking into account diversities in the penetration of electricity infrastructures over the world. Both the state of the art and the future technologies are grouped into three interlinked SC D2 pillars: ICT systems, telecommunications and cyber security.
