In this talk, Willem Kuipers and Arjan Mossel from Enexis will demonstrate how the integration of DevOps culture is crucial for modern grid management. They will share insights into how digital transformation is becoming a necessity for grid operators and how DevOps practices drive innovations in grid stability.
