Innovation and emerging technologies

Enhancing resilience and efficiency through Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) management for power transmission and distribution networks

The growing complexity of modern electric utility systems demands robust management of Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) to ensure reliability, efficiency and grid resilience. IEDs are the cornerstone of advanced grid operations, supporting protection, control, automation and communication functions. However, their proliferation introduces challenges such as device interoperability, lifecycle management, cybersecurity and compliance with evolving standards like NERC CIP and IEEE 1613.

Key Components of IED Management

  • Gateway and data bridge: These components manage communications with devices and retrieve both real-time and non-operational data
  • Passthrough manager: Provides secure remote maintenance and engineering access to IEDs, meeting security requirements
  • Configuration manager: Automatically retrieves and stores IED asset management information and detects configuration changes. Keeping the firmware up to date.

Why Attend?
Join this session to explore the future of IED management, its role in supporting grid modernization and actionable steps to navigate challenges while unlocking the full potential of these intelligent devices.

3:30 PM - 4:00 PM Wednesday, March 26, 2025
