8-9 October
Distribution Automation Europe
In order to increase the capacity of the electricity network at a low cost and to facilitate the transition to a low carbon economy, Distribution Automation will offer significant savings, and will enable generation and demand to connect to the network faster. Utility Distribution Automation upgrades are also a necessity in supporting the proliferation of distributed renewables and electric vehicles. New capacitor banks, voltage regulators, load tap changers, as well as the retrofit of older units with monitoring and control modules to allow for feeder, substation, or system-wide coordination will be crucial for the next generation grid.

Maritime Security Asia
The maritime domain is key to the Asia-Pacific region due to the narrow channels between countries and islands and the imminent threat of piracy. Many Asian governments place Maritime Security at the top of their agenda due to their country’s trade and exports generated from the maritime environment such as oil drilling and fisheries. With certain maritime territories becoming under scrutiny this event will provide you the chance to hear from senior Naval Officers who work on keeping their country’s waters secure. Asia has more ports than any other continent and with such disputes in the maritime domain ports become fragile to attacks and during this 2 day event you will be gain the opportunity to hear case study examples from across the region on the challenges faced on securing a port from a lone-wolf attack or a CBRN threat. Do not miss the chance to network with senior Naval Officers at the only Maritime Security event in Asia.
