Speaker
This presentation will deliver an in-depth exploration of the global electrical steel landscape, with a particular focus on the rapidly evolving e-mobility sector and its impact on non-grain-oriented (NGO) electrical steel demand. Complementary insights on grain-oriented (GO) electrical steel production and market volumes will also be provided
Speaker
Grid reliability increasingly depends on proactive, data-driven asset management rather than reactive maintenance. SAMSTEO introduces an intelligent monitoring solution that combines Earth Observation, IoT, and weather data to anticipate structural and operational risks across transmission infrastructure. By enabling condition-based maintenance and early fault prediction, the system empowers operators to optimise load distribution, reduce downtime, and lower operational costs.
Speakers
This presentation explored how Argentina’s energy transition is transforming distribution networks, with a particular focus on the impact of renewable-based distributed generation on distribution transformers. Drawing on real operating data, it analysed how evolving load profiles are affecting transformer losses and utilisation levels, highlighting the potential need to revisit and modernise efficiency standards to better align with emerging grid realities.
Speaker
This panel brought together DSOs, regulatory experts and manufacturers to explore how renovation approaches must adapt to regulatory pressures, market realities and environmental targets. From policy to production, the discussion examines how to balance resilience, compliance and competitiveness in a transforming energy landscape.

Henrik Stiesdal, by many considered the father of modern Danish wind power, shares how innovation in Transmission and Distribution (T&D) can transform the path to a resilient, affordable, and clean energy future.
Speaker
Accurate thermal insight is critical to transformer windings and electric motor reliability. This session presented a multipoint fiber optic sensing solution that delivers high-density, EMI-immune temperature mapping for precise hotspot detection and comprehensive asset-level thermal assessment.
Speaker
EU flagship and Horizon-funded energy projects play a vital role in validating advanced grid technologies, digital twins, and system-level innovations at scale. However, technical success alone rarely guarantees operational deployment or market uptake. Drawing on concrete case studies, including Digital Twin for Europe, this session explores the technical, regulatory, and organisational conditions that determine whether grid innovations progress beyond the pilot phase and deliver real-world impact.

Speaker
This session explored how greater transparency and understanding of the copper value chain can enable more informed specification decisions, support realistic sustainability targets, and help define feasible pathways for reducing embedded carbon in motor production.
Speaker
This work explores how metal additive manufacturing (AM) can unlock higher-performance electrical machine windings by enabling optimised conductor geometries, integrated cooling features, and tailored insulation systems. It addresses three key barriers to industrial adoption: systematic AM winding design, reliable electrical property characterisation, and robust insulation of complex as-built surfaces. Together, these developments support more efficient, power-dense and reliable machines needed for future electrified systems.
Speaker
With a particular focus on critical materials such as high-performance magnets, the discussion will address how the industry can navigate supply chain dependencies and volatility while supporting the transition to advanced electrification technologies, while also integrating principles of circularity and recycling to enhance overall sustainability.
Speakers
This session delivered by the President of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES), will provide an overview of the Society’s global role in advancing industrial electronics, automation, and power systems.
Speaker
Discover how Axial Flux Motor (AFM) technology is moving beyond niche applications and into the mainstream. This session explores its distinct performance advantages and the design and manufacturing strategies enabling scalable adoption across industries.
Speaker
This session explores the end-to-end decision process behind selecting rare-earth-free EC motor technology for axial cooling fans in transformer applications for the European market.
Speaker
The speech introduces a compact axial‑flux permanent‑magnet motor with an immersed double‑rotor layout tailored for high‑integrated electric water‑pump systems. A unified CAE workflow drives electromagnetic optimization and cooling performance tuning on e-motor design parameters in function of internal fluid‑flow effects. Prototype testing validates the motor’s performance, demonstrating high efficiency, robust thermal behaviour, and scalability for next generation thermal management modules (TMMS) in transportation applications.
Speakers
This keynote explores how motor technology has become a critical system driver in electric work functions. It compares traditional AC induction motors with Synchronous Reluctance Assisted Permanent Magnet (SRPM) technology, highlighting how SRPM enables higher efficiency, greater torque density, and improved machine integration in next-generation equipment.
