The energy industry, especially the electrical power industry, relies increasingly on multi-technology solutions associated with decentralisation, electrification, and data-enabled optimisation.

Technologies including quantum computing and quantum sensors are actively being developed and demonstrated for processing advanced metering data and for state estimation of distribution networks and microgrids.

Decentralised Energy Canada has partnered with Quantum City and Alberta Innovates to deliver a Q-Discovery Program designed for the decentralised energy industry. This webinar will explore the fundamentals of quantum computing, hardware roadmaps and capabilities, and practical use cases helping attendees identify datasets best suited for quantum solutions. We will gain insights into capabilities of real-world devices and help us to develop practical use cases for quantum computing in decentralised energy.
