Cyber security stands or falls with the human factor
“People are the primary attack vector for cyber-attackers around the world. We humans, not technology, pose the greatest risk to organizations,” says Lance Spitzner, Security Awareness Director at SANS and co-author of Managing Human Risk. “The key to effectively managing that risk therefore lies in the professionals who are responsible for the safety awareness programs.”
Wind farms operating as collective units achieve greater efficiency
A study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has shown that in a traditional wind farm, the different wind turbines affect each other’s efficiency. This means that wind farms can generate more energy if the turbines aren’t configured individually but collectively as wind farms.
When offshore windmills talk to EV charging stations on the street
Vattenfall has found a way to avoid grid congestion. By allowing windmills and electric cars to communicate with each other about the energy supply and charging requirements, the Swedish energy company wants to ensure that the demand for electric transport does not exceed the capacity of the grid. Vattenfall aims to achieve this with a “smart charging with wind energy” pilot using the new Hollandse Kust West wind farm.

Almost every day, maintenance workers leave for offshore installations to carry out the necessary maintenance work. Components or tools regularly break down, which can lead to some work not being carried out or having to be postponed. This results in a lot of lost time and unnecessary costs.
First hydrogen-producing wind turbine at sea
Vattenfall will produce hydrogen at sea by installing an “electrolyser” on an existing operational turbine in Scotland. The hydrogen will travel via pipeline to the coast at Aberdeen Harbour.
The challenges in the war on cyberattacks
The energy sector is increasingly facing the threat of cyberattacks, and in particular ransomware attacks. Energy is now one of the top three industries reporting this issue. What can the energy sector do to protect itself from cyberattacks? And more specifically, how can offshore wind farms protect themselves?
