MEET US AT OUR BOOTH #210

Stop by at booth #210 at the CIGRE Energy Forum 2026 Conference for the latest insights into power systems. Learn more about our hardware.

This year’s conference takes place inside the TELUS Convention Centre in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We hope to see you there!

WHAT TO EXPECT AT OUR BOOTH

HIL TESTING: BUILDING CONFIDENCE FOR DATA CENTER OPERATORS, UTILITIES, AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS

Real-time simulation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing with the RTDS Simulator is a key technology for de-risking data center protection, automation, and control systems. There are increasingly high expectations when it comes to the reliable and secure operation of data centers. HIL testing supports the design and validation of data center electrical architecture, ensuring uninterrupted operation and improving the speed and cost of data center deployment.

ABOUT CIGRE Canada

The event in Calgary will undoubtedly be larger than previous CIGRE Canada events. The success of the International Symposium in Montreal will benefit development in terms of international delegates (e.g., from the US, India, and China) as well as Canadian delegates.
