Roundtable Discussions - During this session the audience breaks out into several smaller working groups, each focused on a specific theme that arose during the day’s presentations. Each working group will comprise of representatives of the entire IEC 61850 community to ensure a well-rounded and holistic discussion.
|
| 16:00 |
Roundtable Feedback – During this session each working group leader will provide a 5-min summary back to the wider group, highlighting the issues raised, the solutions discussed, and the recommendations made to take the matter to the next level. |
