FEST – Future Electricity Systems & Technologies brings together engineers, system operators, planners and technical specialists to examine how power systems can be designed, operated and protected in an increasingly converter-dominated environment. The conference focuses on the practical engineering challenges facing transmission and distribution networks, from grid-forming control and protection redesign to congestion management, digital operations and large-scale renewable integration.

Electricity systems are undergoing their most significant technical transformation since the creation of interconnected power networks. As synchronous generation is replaced by inverter-based renewable resources, battery storage, HVDC links and distributed energy assets, system operators must maintain stability, reliability and resilience under fundamentally different operating conditions.
