CIGRE Symposium 2027 in Heidelberg, Germany. April 27-30, 2027
One Grid – Technological Innovations for Integrated Power Systems
CIGRE’s 105-year experience of integrated grid complexity will be showcased with technical and practical applications for System Operators, Experts, and Manufacturers to engage actively in CIGRE’s Symposium in Heidelberg – Distribution and Transmission, working together, as One Grid.
Distribution and Transmission are blurred without boundary fortoday’s One Grid. Power flows are becoming more dynamic and less predictable, while system inertia, fault levels, and voltage control characteristics are changing across all voltage levels. This unprecedented transformation puts Distribution at the core of the Energy Transition, intertwining the challenges of Transmission, Supply, and the Grid Edge.
Join us at the CIGRE international symposium on the Energy Transition in Heidelberg!
