Show notes

Today's data centers are increasingly integrated into the wider energy ecosystem, requiring solutions that can manage operational complexity, flexibility, and evolving grid conditions. We're joined by Ben Frazer, Global Data Center Segment Leader for Grid Automation. He will discuss the urgent deployment of data centers in the midst of the energy transition, as well as how Grid automation is central to meeting these demands, providing real‑time visibility, intelligent control, and utility‑grade reliability across the entire power distribution chain, from grid connection through high, medium, and low voltage systems.
