Smart Grid Forums

This week-long conference draws together 200+ smart grid technical professionals for a review of grid innovation projects in the context of increased regulatory pressures, intense cybersecurity threats, and rapidly rising demand for renewables integration. The week begins with a practical workshop focused on one of the most crucial IEC standards for the smart grid: IEC 61850 for Substation Automation. Led by Christoph Brunner, Convenor of TC57 WG10, this is a great opportunity to get up to speed with the latest evolutions and applications of the standard. The main 3-day conference opens with a morning of plenary sessions addressing the big macro issues affecting the Energy Transition, and then breaks out into three technical tracks focused on innovations in Digital Substations, SCADA and Control Centres, and Utility Telecoms. The week wraps up with a future-focused briefing on smart grid cybersecurity, addressing everything from the threat landscape to innovations in prevention, detection and response strategies. Running alongside the main conference is an exhibition displaying 30+ suppliers of grid infrastructure products and services. An extensive facilitated networking programme ensures that participants are able to technology scout and develop new partnerships that will help propel their smart grid deployment projects to the next level.
