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.
