Event Sponsorship & Exhibitor Opportunities 
Port Electrical Distribution Networks
Ports aiming for climate-neutral operations must adopt advanced electrification and carefully designed power distribution systems.
IEEE-2664 Standard for Streaming Telemetry Transport Protocol
IEEE Standard 2664 is a secure IP-based protocol for streaming or on-demand power system data efficiently, supporting flexible data management, minimal fragmentation, and high-efficiency lossless compression.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) for Grid Sustainability, Stability, Reliability, and Resilience
Battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are critical for integrating renewable energy, supporting data center growth, and enhancing grid performance, with AI/ML approaches enabling efficient, chemistry-flexible state monitoring and health prediction. Key advances include improved SOC/SOH estimation, grid-forming controls, safer architectures, and tools for co-optimizing BESS with other energy sources and demand-side flexibility.
Behind-the-meter DC Microgrid
Behind-the-meter DC microgrids can boost efficiency, resilience, and renewable use—especially in data centers—by simplifying power conversion and resource integration, though they also pose challenges with protection, grounding, and AC system compatibility.
Flexible Loads
As energy systems face new challenges beyond peak demand, customer-side solutions are evolving into flexible load programs and virtual power plants, integrating customers directly into grid operations.
Inverter Based Resource (IBR) Modeling
Accurate modeling of Inverter Based Resource (IBR) plants in power system studies is essential for planning and the secure operation of power systems. The IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) provides technical resources and opportunities for industry professionals to stay informed and engaged in IBR modelling.
Application of IEEE-603 Safety System Criteria to Advanced Reactors
The next generation of nuclear power reactors utilizes a variety of non-light water technologies. These reactors are being designed and licensed using risk-informed (probabilistic) approaches to safety rather than the deterministic approaches used in the past.
Machine Learning for Microgrids: Resiliency, Stability, Control, and Operation
Microgrids are a critical component of the electrical grid energy transition. Concurrently, machine learning applications to smart grids have received significant attention in recent years. This Trending Technologies explores the dynamic intersection of the two technologies: microgrids and machine learning advancements.
Microgrid Protection
Microgrids require control and protection systems. The design of both systems must consider the system topology, what generation and/or storage resources can be connected, and microgrid operational states (including grid-connected, islanded, and transitions between the two).
Earthing of Marine Systems
Earthing (grounding) of maritime systems (waterborne vessels and ports) is an interesting issue with significant specificities in comparison with inland cases, but also with a significant impact on normal steady-state operation.
