The modernization of the power system — on both a national and regional scale — requires more than technological upgrades: it requires new engineering methodologies, demonstrable reliability, and an integrated view of protection, automation, telecommunications, and cybersecurity. With this focus, the annual event organized by CIGRE-Paraguaybrings together professionals to discuss current challenges and explore solutions through real-time testing.

Conprove is participating as an event sponsor.

About the event: focus on digital transformation with technical evidence

The main objective of the event is to present and discuss the challenges of modernization in the power system, connecting real operation and maintenance needs with technological solutions that are already being implemented in the sector.

A relevant differentiator is the proposal to deepen discussions and solutions through real-time testing, creating a technical environment where digital transformation is not only conceptual — it is verifiable.

Digital Substations and IEC standards: what is at the center of the discussion

The event emphasizes the implementation of Digital Substations under the standards:

IEC 61850
IEC 61869-9

Within these architectures, critical topics gain priority, especially because they directly impact performance, availability, and operational security.

Key topics: from the bus to time, from traffic to security

The technical agenda highlights the main points of attention in digital substation projects and operation, including:

Communication networks and their requirements for critical traffic
Time synchronization and its impacts on digital applications
Cybersecurity in automation and digital substation environments
Operation and maintenance of Process Bus and Station Bus
O&M challenges in a digital transformation scenario that demands updated procedures and criteria
