INDUSTRY 4.0 TECHNOLOGIES IN THE TRANSMISSION SECTOR

Location: Mogra AB, Convention Centre

India’s electricity transmission sector is undergoing a decisive transformation as Industry 4.0 technologies reshape how grids are planned, built, operated and maintained. Digitalisation, artificial intelligence, advanced analytics, automation, and connected field technologies are enabling utilities to move from traditional reactive operations toward predictive, adaptive and data-driven grid management.

As India’s power system expands rapidly to support large-scale renewable integration, electrification of the economy and growing electricity demand, the role of intelligent and resilient transmission infrastructure has become increasingly critical. Industry 4.0 technologies provide utilities with the ability to enhance asset reliability, operational efficiency, system visibility and decision-making capability.

Within the framework of the Bharat Electricity Summit, this programme focuses on the technological and operational foundations required to deliver India’s clean-energy and reliability goals. The Summit provides a unique platform to align policy vision, utility strategy and technology deployment, and this session highlights practical pathways for integrating digital technologies across the transmission value chain.

The programme will bring together utility leaders, technology providers, researchers and domain experts to explore how Industry 4.0 is being deployed in modern transmission systems. Discussions will focus on enterprise digital transformation frameworks, AI-enabled asset management, digital substations, adaptive protection philosophies for renewable-rich grids, virtualised protection systems and advanced manufacturing technologies such as additive manufacturing.

Through focused technical discussions and practical insights, the session aims to showcase how next-generation digital technologies are transforming transmission utilities and enabling a more resilient, efficient and future-ready power grid.

The session is expected to bring together senior representatives from utilities, technology providers, academia and industry experts working on advanced grid technologies and digital transformation. There shall be around 250 nos. participants in the event consisting of Utility Participation, Industry and Technology Participants, Research and Academic Institutions. The session will facilitate interaction between transmission utilities deploying Industry 4.0 technologies and technology providers developing next-generation solutions.
