Saurabh Talwar from Siemens explains how SIPROTEC V turns substation protection and control into software, replacing dozens of hardware relays with up to 60 virtual IEDs running on a single substation-grade server. The result is faster deployment, easier scaling, and stronger cyber resilience, already in use rather than a future concept. At CIGRE 2026, Saurabh will unpack what this shift means for how substations are designed, commissioned, and operated going forward. Meet him in Paris to talk through what comes next.
