The key focuses of the 8th Annual Protection and Control Conference are to assist electric utilities in identifying the best practices and processes for management of protective relaying and control systems, introduce new technologies and methods to optimize power system operational efficiency, provide possible solutions and discussions for current P&C challenges, offer training, and provide support for compliance obligations.
Protection practitioners are constantly being challenged as the demands of the power system evolve. Some of the biggest drivers of such change are the proliferation of distributed generation connected onto the network, technological advancements in microprocessors, the replacement of electromechanical devices with digital ones, and more readily available communications systems that tie these devices/systems together. There is a digital transformation taking place in the industry, and a move to digital solutions. There is an increase in demand to comply with many more reliability mandatory standards that impact P&C system design, maintenance, performance, and security.
There is a paradigm shift affecting protection and control systems. The protection and control discipline involves multidisciplinary utilities, and P&C systems are required in distribution, transmission, generation, automation, operations, and cyber security.
This conference was organized to include all utility P&C asset groups. It is a platform for gaining knowledge by sharing experiences and lessons learned, and keeping abreast of new technologies and innovative applications. Supported by 32 participating utilities, the Protection and Control Conference brings together leading subject-matter experts from around the world, while providing an exceptional opportunity for networking with consultants, manufacturers, and representatives from electric utilities.

SMART GRID EVENT OVERVIEW:
The 6th Annual Smart Grid Conference is a broad industrial event that will assist electric utilities in identifying the best practices and processes essential for modernized operation of the grid. Engineers and specialists working in the smart grid space are constantly being challenged as the demands of the power system evolve. Some of the biggest drivers of such change are the proliferation of DERs and EV connected onto the network. In addition, integrating emerging technologies such as ADMS, OMS, DERMS, SCADA, field sensors, and enterprise IT systems that tie these devices/systems together are constantly evolving and impose various challenges.

Professional Development Hours for CEATI Conferences
Did you know that you could be eligible to use your CEATI conference attendance towards professional development hours? A Certificate of Attendance is available to all conference attendees – simply check with your local accreditation body for more details on how to apply it to their requirements.
The CEATI Young Professionals Group (YPG) is a networking, mentorship, and peer-to-peer support group of inspiring professionals who are new to the electric utility industry. All are welcome, but the target audience is those with less than 10 years of experience in the industry. The YPG virtual networking event on October 18 will provide a focused, industry-open forum for young professionals to network with their peers across the energy sector, discuss common challenges, and share experiences and strategies for positive career growth.
Sign up for this event by emailing yp@ceati.com.
The conference will be hosted online and mirror our in-person event with seamless transitions between activities, including:
The conference will be held virtually this year using Hopin, we will be holding an Orientation Session on October 14th, 2021 for all attendees and presenters.
