Yesterday we hosted a workshop for a client.
This is not unusual, workshops are a useful open forum to discuss a future project, a concept or simply a rough idea.
In this instance we were discussing Wind Farms and the various interfaces they have that require monitoring, control and safety around them.
When we start with a client, we set an agenda to understand what they have already, what they know and also what they don’t know.
Proeon Systems is celebrating its 20th Anniversary during 2024, which is a proud milestone for the business.
What began as a humble endeavour in a garden shed in 2004 has evolved into a thriving multi-million-pound business having navigated the challenges of a competitive business climate, experiencing highs and lows along the way.
The RenewableUK Cyber Security Seminar 2004 took place from the dizzying heights of the 9th floor of Fieldfisher’s Riverbank House, overlooking the capital’s most famous river.
Four guest speakers gave inspiring talks, spanning different elements of cyber security around renewable energy, each sharing their knowledge and experience on practical cyber security implementation for renewable energy projects. Content included implementation and monitoring, considerations for the full cyber security lifecycle, supply chain risks, the rollout across Europe of the NIS2 Cyber Security Framework and what the UK's likely version might look like and concluded with an interesting overview of physical security and the cyber threat landscape.
On Friday 12 April, some of the Proeon team enjoyed an afternoon of relaxation and creativity.
We arranged for them to undertake an afternoon at a local pottery . The host Diana was a great teacher, very helpful and encouraging, despite the fact that some of us managed to develop lovely pots, only to see them suddenly fall apart on the wheel…. Clearly more tuition sessions might be needed.
All in all a lovely afternoon was had by all, good to step away from the office and do a fun activity together.
We have some candid shots to share of the team participating in this activity.

It’s a battle-field out there, we don’t like to admit it, but our appetite for technology and the connected everything is blurring our admission we’re at war. It’s not a conflict in the true sense of the word, with hand-to-hand combat and bombs, but it is a conflict that affects us all, it can damage people, business, finances and of course the environment.

Hydrogen: “what’s it all about?”
Are you ready for Hydrogen? With the global drive for clean energy for homes, transport and industry the balance of power is more important than ever before.
With sources and access to energy being separated in to smaller and more diverse fractions; Solar, Wind, Nuclear, Bio-Mass, Geo thermal at-al, as well as traditional; Oil, GAS, and Coal, what are the common denominators for an energy dense, distributed system? Can we keep our insatiable appetite for energy consumption and its production, joined up?
Join Proeon System’s Dr Dorian Hindmarsh and Randall Williams, as we explore Hydrogen as an Energy facilitator, from the basics through to generation, transport and consumption. Covering safety, the rainbow of colours, and why some think it is the wonder transition fuel of the future.
This event will be punchy, factual, and focused, and delegates will leave informed and enlightened in the potential future world of H2.
