Recent research carried out by Smart Grid Forums with over 100 European power grid professionals revealed growing concern that eroding supply chain reliability, workforce stability, and OT cybersecurity are inhibiting grid transformation projects, delaying renewables integration, and impacting Europe’s future energy security.

THE HAGUE CONFERENCE CENTRE, The Netherlands, Nov. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Recent research carried out by Smart Grid Forums with over 100 European power grid professionals revealed growing concern that eroding supply chain reliability, workforce stability, and OT cybersecurity are inhibiting grid transformation projects, delaying renewables integration, and impacting Europe’s future energy security.

Driving grid modernisation in the context of geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, and workforce uncertainty to guarantee future energy security in Europe

It is with this in mind that Smart Grid Forums launch their 6th annual SGT25 conference, with an extended day of strategic plenary sessions addressing the big picture issues impacting the sector, followed by a technical programme show casing the best of the grid modernisation projects across TSO and DSO organizations.

“European utilities have never been under more pressure to deliver grid transformation whilst navigating the complexities of global supply chain disruptions, workforce uncertainties, and a more geopolitically malicious cyber threat landscape” said Mandana White, CEO of Smart Grid Forums. “It is at times like these that utilities must come together to gain clarity on the big picture, compare their experiences, and unify to tackle the path ahead with innovative new strategies and greater energy and conviction than ever before. Delivering to the energy transition is not a matter of If but one of How.”

At SGT25 utility senior managers will come together with their technical teams for three days of strategic and technical discussions, in order to get onto the same page, and move in the same direction at greater pace than ever before. The programme consists of:

1-Day Infrastructure Investment Briefing – a series of utility panel discussions addressing technology investment priorities and the implications for utility technical teams and the supplier ecosystem2-Day Technical Case-Study Conference – implementation focused programme reviewing the successes, setbacks, and future roadmaps of utility project leaders and product specifiers in six core domains: Digital Substations, Operational Systems, Smart Meter Infrastructure, OT Cybersecurity, Big Data, and Asset ManagementInnovation Excellence Awards Ceremony – attended by all participants, and evening of recognition and reward in support of utility innovationRoundtable Discussions – private senior management roundtable discussions as well as public technical roundtable discussions, facilitating high impact information exchange and networkingExhibition & Live Demo Labs – a display of leading smart grid product and service suppliers with deep expertise and experience in the grid sector

Eco-documentary A Chorus of Frogs officially launched

Published

on

By

NANJING, China, Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, the ecological documentary A Chorus of Frogs produced by Nanjing Newspaper Media Group was officially launched. The film told the story of Wang Ningjing, a post-95s Nanjing girl, who returned to the countryside to find the Chinese immaculate treefrog and shoot a documentary.

https://youtu.be/V8aI9PIFalA?si=Mcc6iP5FeAk3Y8OF

Wang Ningjing, the post-95s generation from Nanjing, is currently studying wildlife filmmaking in the UK. Professor Borzée Amaël from Nanjing Forestry University, who grew up in Madagascar, has been researching treefrogs over ten years.

Unlike most girls who like fairy tales, Wang has been passionate about creature and nature since childhood. Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo, not far from her home, was a place she often visited as a child.

“I see one. Is that it?……That one on the wheat. So beautiful!” The species’ breeding season is May and June. During this period, Professor Amaël conducted regular field surveys to locate populations of the treefrog, known for its unique calls that can be heard from a distance. The documentary began with Wang listening to the calls of the treefrog in the fields at night.

A Chorus of Frogs is positioned as an ecological and humanistic documentary. By following Wang Ningjing and Amer to explore the traces of the Chinese immaculate treefrog, it vividly tells the story of people and frogs.

Chinese path to modernization has the distinctive features of respecting nature, following its laws and protect it as well as promoting harmony between humans and nature. The harmonious coexistence between human and the environment is important not only to China but to the world as well.

Where does the Chinese immaculate treefrog go? I believe everyone will find their own answer after watching.

Nanjing Newspaper Media Group, a state-owned media group in Nanjing City, was established on December 17, 2002 with the approval from the National Press and Publication Administration. In recent years, the group has seized strategic opportunities for media convergence to develop a new type of mainstream media based on the Internet. Fully committed to mobile first, it has accelerated the establishment of all-media communication system. The group’s flagship brand, Zijinshan Video, focuses on short video creation, particularly the production of documentaries. It currently has more than 65 million followers across all platforms.
