SGF-IEC Week 2023

IEC standards are now essential to the efficient running of the smart grid. During this week-long event the three most critical standards; IEC 61850 for digital substations, IEC CIM for operational systems, and IEC 62443 for OT cybersecurity, will be discussed on a techno-commercial level with insights shared by pioneering utilities from their recent implementation experiences and their management approved roadmaps.

This is a great opportunity for your substation, control center, and cybersecurity teams to come together at one time under one roof, to explore the immediate and long-term opportunities of IEC 61850, IEC CIM and IEC 62443 for your infrastructure, and to get onto the same page and driving implementation activity in the same direction.

Utility CTOs will be joined by their Standardisation Leaders and their Engineering and Operations teams, providing a seamless opportunity for your organization to gather the latest intelligence, agree the most effective standardization direction, and commit to long term investment in these crucial standards.

Fundamentals Workshops on IEC 61850, IEC CIM, IEC 62443

Monday 16th October 2023

Participants choose from 3 Fundamentals Workshops on IEC 61850 for digital substations, IEC CIM for operational systems, and IEC 62443 for OT cybersecurity. Whether you are new to or experienced with these standards, this is a great opportunity to refresh your understanding of the core concepts, get up to speed with their practical application, and question the IEC working group leaders to raise your competence and extend your application of the standard.

IEC Standards Implementation Conference & Exhibition

Tuesday 17th to Thursday 19th October 2023

IEC Standards are now critical to the safe, secure and efficient running of the smart grid. However, the pace of standardisation development, their ease of implementation within the utility environment, and their full integration into next generation products and services remain complex and challenging. During this 3-day case-study driven conference, utility front-runners share their organisational and technical strategies for fast-tracking the implementation of IEC 61850, IEC CIM and IEC 62443. They provide insights that will help the working groups evolve these standards, and the supplier ecosystem integrate these standards with end-user requirements front of mind. Alongside the conference is a display of 30+ suppliers who are supporting these standards in their products and services, and a series of facilitated networking events to help you connect, collaborate and cooperate on the next phase of your deployment.
