On November 25, 2025, DSET participated in the Partnership for Resilience Building Conference at the Warsaw School of Economics in Poland, where Bo-Xiang You, Non-Resident Fellow of the Energy Security and Climate Resilience Research Program, presented DSET’s latest research findings.
The conference explored how Poland and Indo-Pacific partners can bolster the resilience of critical infrastructure, renewable energy systems, and digital networks amid accelerating climate change and geopolitical uncertainty, with a particular emphasis on technological innovation. Speakers included Piotr Guzdek, Director of Poland’s Institute of Microelectronics and Photonics under the Łukasiewicz Research Network; Grzegorz Lota, Head of the New Battery Technology Team at the Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals, also part of the Łukasiewicz Research Network; Hwayoung Lee, Director of Korea’s National Cyber Security Laboratory; Worawarong Rakreungdet, Executive Vice President of Thailand’s National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA); and Mateusz Pawełczuk, Head of Innovation at Respect Energy, a leading Polish renewable energy company.
In his presentation, You shared DSET’s latest research on Taiwan’s energy security and infrastructure resilience. He underscored that, given the rapidly growing electricity demand from the semiconductor industry and AI data centers, the development of distributed grid systems—supported by key enabling technologies and appropriate policy instruments—is essential. He also exchanged views with fellow experts on how Poland’s rapidly expanding battery industry can contribute to grid-scale storage solutions, helping address the intermittency of renewable energy.
Following the conference, participants visited the Central Office of Measures (Główny Urząd Miar) and the Military University of Technology (Wojskowa Akademia Techniczna) to gain insights into Poland’s advanced eCzasPL national time-synchronization system, and the critical role of temporal coherence in protecting information systems against GNSS spoofing and other cyber threats. The visit also included demonstrations of quantum key distribution (QKD) systems designed to enhance the security of OT networks in energy infrastructure, along with laser-based UAV detection technologies and high-capacity laser communication systems.
Through this exchange, DSET emphasized that reliable time synchronization and quantum communication will be essential components of secure distributed energy systems in the future. Poland’s strengths in advanced monitoring technologies and battery manufacturing provide a solid foundation for deepening bilateral cooperation on energy and digital resilience. DSET noted that the insights gained from this international engagement will serve as an important reference for forthcoming policy reports.
