Extreme weather. A surge in distributed energy resources. Interconnection delays. Rising demand and growing cybersecurity threats. Now, imagine a grid that can think, adapt and respond in real time — one that is intelligent, resilient and sustainable. Envision streamlined operations and infrastructure that is both reliable and flexible. In this forward-looking session, explore how next-generation, open, AI-powered and interoperable technologies are empowering utilities to overcome their most pressing challenges and shape the future of energy systems.

Aging grids and rising demand are increasing pressure on transformer technology. Digitalization—using digital twins, automation, and data integration—enables on-time delivery and high quality. This presentation explores how these innovations translate into real value for customers and end users by keeping projects on track and power reliably flowing.

Over the past few years, we have seen a significant surge in stationary battery energy storage projects. However, as these projects grow larger, significant challenges lie ahead: How can we protect these projects, which are increasingly becoming part of critical infrastructure, against cyber threats? How can we connect them to HV grids quickly enough and ensure seamless communication from grid to cell? And finally, how do we ensure the systems are properly maintained and available?

Power transformers play a critical role in electrical grids, ensuring efficient energy transmission and distribution. However, their reliability and performance are susceptible to various factors, including aging, environmental conditions, and operational stress. In the rapidly evolving landscape of asset management, advanced analytics and technology play a pivotal role. One area that has gained prominence is asset monitoring. This paper explores the advantages of implementing an online monitor for asset managers, focusing on how it enhances decision-making, improves distribution, and boosts productivity.
