The 11th Annual Global Outage Management Forum for DSO’s will be held on April 16-17, 2026 in Barcelona, Spain. We are looking forward to the event and are excited to exhibit our solutions while meeting people from the industry. Our VP of Sales for Europe, APAC and MEA Klaus Ola is giving a presentation “From data to insights – The new era of fault prediction for DSOs”. Come and listen!
Key topics of the event include:
✅ Lessons Learned from the Iberian Blackout
Explore first-hand insights from the recent large-scale disruption in the Iberian system. What triggered the blackout, how did the DSO / TSO community respond, and what practical lessons can be carried into other networks?
✅ AI, Analytics, and Predictive Tools for Outage Prevention and Faster Restoration
How are cutting-edge data science and machine learning platforms being leveraged to anticipate failure, prioritise responses and accelerate restoration? Hear from utilities adopting predictive models and automation frameworks.
✅ Future-Proof Grid Strategies
From flexible network design to resilience-driven investment planning, this stream addresses how DSOs can build grids that will remain robust in the face of changing generation sources, extreme weather and evolving regulation.
✅ Advanced Grid Protection & Automation: Strengthening Grid Resilience
Protection and automation systems are at the heart of modern resilience strategies. We’ll examine advanced relaying, adaptive protection schemes, self-healing automation and how these deployments are shaping outage recovery and reliability.
✅ Advanced Grid Inspection Technologies
With rising asset complexity and hidden defects in aging infrastructure, new inspection technologies—drones, robotics, AI-enabled vision, sensor networks—are gaining traction. Explore how these tools are transforming condition-monitoring and proactive maintenance.
✅ Harnessing Data for Proactive Outage Management
Data is only as powerful as the insights you derive. In this phase we’ll look at how DSOs are aggregating, visualising and operationalising outage- and network-data to move from reactive to proactive outage management—reducing downtime, improving customer experience and optimising capital deployment.
