Virtual Protection Relays – An Overview

By Shwetha Bhat FEB 6, 2025 (THU)

As renewable energy sources grow, grid protection systems face unprecedented challenges. Legacy hardware-dependent systems struggle to meet the demands of a modern, agile, and digital grid. It’s time to rethink how we protect our energy infrastructure.

 

Join us for an insightful webinar, during which we’ll introduce Virtual Protection Relaying (VPR) that decouples protection functions from traditional hardware, enabling software-defined platforms to handle critical circuit protection tasks.

 

Topic: Virtual Protection Relays – An Overview

Date: 6th February 2025

Time: 9am PT | 12pm ET | 6pm CET

 

What you’ll learn:

– The pressing need for relay virtualization

– How Virtual Protection Relaying works

– Key benefits: flexibility, cost reduction, reliability, and security

– Practical steps to implement VPR

– An overview of the Kalkitech/ASE VPR Lab powered by Intel

 

This is a must-attend event for utilities and grid operators seeking innovative solutions for advanced grid protection in the era of renewables.
