The electricity grid is currently partially sensor-equipped and digitised. Digitisation can be used to obtain knowledge about the most important parameters of the grid and operate some switches remotely. This means the grid can be operated in real time, minimising the impact of overloads or breakdowns. To achieve this, the grid has an overlapping communications network and a large number of installed sensors, plus specific communication protocols that guarantee that data is received in real time and with sufficient quality.

Equipment provided
We provide the following technical materials to complement the training:
- Teaching materials used during the course, including technical content and exercises with answers that can be used directly in the classroom.
- Practical visits.
Professional groups and training
Programme students are preferably Vocational Training teachers in the professional category of “Electricity and Electronics”, “Computing and Communications” and “Installation and Maintenance”. Prior computing knowledge is required.
They will be given tips and teaching materials in order to be able to transmit what they have learnt to their students.
