Vestas had a cyberattack recently and shut down IT systems to help contain it. How bad was it? Plus, a recent article pegged microgrids as a potential source of 500,000 jobs by 2030 - is this realistic? And, how do wind turbines protect themselves in high winds - does feathering and idling actually work better than braking? We also discuss underwater drone missions by Rovco seeking out unexploded mines and bombs, and more. TRANSCRIPT - Vestas Cybersecurity Attack; Can Microgrids Create Half a Million Jobs?

I'm Allen Hall and I'm Rosemary Barnes, and this is the UpTime podcast bringing you the latest in wind energy, tech news and policy.All right. Welcome back to the Uptime Wind Energy podcast. I'm your co-host Dan Blewett on today's show. We've got a really full docket number one, we'll talk about Vestas and the recent cybersecurity incident. It's a scary thing for all businesses all around the world. 00:01:13:12 - 00:01:28:22UnknownSo talk about what that meant for them and if they're back up and running. We'll talk about Siemens energy. Their CEO has mentioned that Siemens Gamesa is doing well progressing and their turnaround, and whether we could expect a complete takeover from where they finished buying the rest of their shares. 00:01:28:22 - 00:01:46:23UnknownThey own about 67% of the company now. So about Shell, they've snapped up a majority stake in another offshore wind project off of iron off of Ireland in North Dakota. Some high winds have shut down wind turbines, which we know that this happens, but it's still always a curious about when it does. 00:01:47:15 - 00:02:02:13UnknownWind speeds up to 70 miles per hour. In that case, we'll talk about some unexploded mines from past wars just laying lurking in the North Sea and Rove Co's drones, which are trying to help locate them. We'll talk about microgrids. 00:02:03:07 - 00:02:21:19UnknownThe annual energy storage modeling some interesting stuff there. We'll talk about more supply chain crisis, whether that's going to continue to really affect the transition to clean energy. And lastly, we'll talk about artificial seaweed power. Is this the next big thing? 00:02:21:19 - 00:02:38:17UnknownI'm sure Rosemary has got strong feelings there. Spoiler, it's probably not. But before we get going, be sure to subscribe to the podcast in general.

She's been doing live streams and all of her regular content on everything renewables and wind energy. So let's get started. 00:02:51:11 - 00:03:05:02UnknownObviously, the, you know, cybersecurity is on everyone's front of mind nowadays. It seems like every other week there's another company that's been hit hard this week, it's been investors. So but there still seems like a little bit mum is the word at the moment. 00:03:05:03 - 00:03:22:17UnknownThey have mentioned that their crisis management team is on its. And besides that,
