Event Info - 2026 EuroDoble Conference

As electrical networks face a new transformation driven by digitalization, renewable integration, ageing infrastructure and rapidly growing energy demand from data centers, utilities are under increasing pressure to make smarter, faster and more sustainable asset management decisions.

Join your peers from Europe, Middle East, Africa, and around the world to collaborate about the operational and strategic matters that impact your work. Hear innovative industry approaches and learn how to optimize operations and improve performance, ensuring reliable flow of power.

This year's program focuses on the technologies, strategies and lessons learned that are helping power system operators improve reliability, extend asset life, and reduce operational risk.

Key topics include

Transformer condition assessment and insulation ageing.
Synthetic ester and alternative insulation technologies.
Partial discharge diagnostics.
Digital substations.
Data-driven asset management.
SF6 monitoring.
Cable diagnostics.
Advanced testing methods for critical high-voltage equipment

The conference will also address emerging industry challenges, including the impact of large-scale data centers on the European power system, the management of ageing assets, and insights gained from major incidents such as the Heathrow power disruption. Attendees will gain practical knowledge through real-world case studies, new standards, innovative diagnostic methodologies, and utility experiences from around the world.

Whether you are responsible for transformers, substations, cables, rotating machines, protection systems or strategic asset management, EuroDoble Conference offers a unique opportunity to learn from industry leaders, exchange experiences with peers and discover solutions that can improve network performance and reliability.

These two panel discussions are reserved exclusively for DSA customers, providing a dedicated opportunity to exchange insights and discuss key industry challenges.

Panel 1 – Adapting Asset Management Strategies in a Changing World

How are companies adapting their Asset Management strategies to cope with increasing demand (data centres etc), increasing renewable penetration, disruption from the effects of climate change (storms, floods, fires etc) and long lead times for new assets?

Panel 2: – Training the Next Generation

With increased remote working how will the next generation of experts develop their skills and knowledge to support the power network in the future?

EuroDoble Innovation & Insight Day is a one-day tutorial designed for engineers, asset managers, and utility professionals looking to strengthen their understanding of modern power system testing and digital protection technologies. This engaging, engineer-friendly tutorial offers a unique opportunity to explore two critical areas shaping today’s grid: partial discharge (PD) testing and virtual protection.

Attendees will discover why these technologies are essential for ensuring asset reliability and enabling smarter, future-ready substations. Through practical, accessible sessions, participants will learn how PD measurements support condition monitoring and asset health decisions, as well as gain a clear introduction to virtual protection concepts and the digital architectures driving next-generation grid design—even with little or no prior experience in protection systems.

Morning Session: An Introduction to Partial Discharge Testing and Monitoring

An introduction to partial discharge measurements, exploring how this powerful diagnostic tool supports modern testing and condition monitoring strategies. Attendees will gain practical insight into why PD matters, how it’s detected, and how it informs asset health decisions across multiple asset types.

Afternoon Session: Stepping Into Virtual Protection

An accessible, engineer friendly overview of virtual protection concepts and the digital architectures that enable them. Designed specifically for those with little or no protection background, this session demystifies the technology shaping the next generation of substation design and operation
