Whether you're looking to expand your knowledge or spark new collaborations, this is the place to be. Let’s talk about FACTS, and the grid of the future.
Preliminary Agenda
It is going to be a hectic week, so we are kicking things off with a relaxing networking evening.
Stop by the registration table to get your name tag.
Enjoy a continental breakfast to power up your day with us.
The energy sector is evolving faster than ever — surging demand, rapid electrification, the rise of renewables, and grid digitalization require bold action and smarter infrastructure to meet tomorrow’s needs. We face urgent challenges—but also extraordinary opportunities—to modernize infrastructure, enhance resilience, and unlock new value. Join us as we explore more about this always evolving landscape.
As power grids evolve, ensuring stability and reliability becomes increasingly important. This session explores how the advancements in Grid Forming (GFM) technologies—can support your grid’s voltage stability, short circuit strength, and system inertia.
This session will present a comprehensive overview of a ±50 MVAR STATCOM project jointly executed by Hitachi Energy and ATCO Electric between 2018 and 2023. The discussion will highlight the scope of work undertaken by each organization, detailing the technical and operational contributions, key successes and challenges encountered throughout the project lifecycle.
New technologies are available to provide grid stability and ancillary services to the power system as loads become more complex and generation from rotating machines is replaced with renewable sources. They feature added functionalities and optimized design to increase system resiliency and flexibility. Join this session to learn what is new.
Enabling smart and flexible grids is to emphasize the raising importance of the medium voltage SFCs as grid interties for facilitating seamless grid interconnections. This session showcases real-world intertie solutions, including interconnecting 3ph-1ph rail grids (Litrail projects), 3ph-3ph utility grids with the same frequency (WPD), 3ph-3ph industrial grids with different frequencies (Offshore platforms & Yammama) and Hydro variable speed pumped storage power plant with Converter Fed Synchronous Machine solution (Malta).
Cyber threats to the power grid are growing more sophisticated—and the consequences are more severe. Join us to learn how proactive cybersecurity and compliance with NERC CIP can help you safeguard your systems, maintain trust, and stay ahead of evolving risks.
Discover how to monitor and optimize your systems with IdentiQ™, the game-changing Digital Twin technology. Gain instant access to actionable information for better decision-making and extended lifecycles. This all-in-one solution helps you maintain a healthier and more efficient grid.
Time to ask questions, clarify complex topics, or share your thoughts. We want to hear you.
