IEEE PES ISGT Europe 2026 takes place on 19–22 October 2026 in Budapest, Hungary, organised by IEEE PES. Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe — a leading academic and industry forum at the Budapest Congress Centre on smart grid research, AI/ML for power systems, and digital substations.
Why it matters for grid operators
ISGT Europe brings academic research and utility practice together on smart grid technologies, with a strong track on AI and machine learning for power systems and on digital substations. It is one of the venues where the reinforcement learning research community around grid operation — including the Learning to Run a Power Network lineage we come from — meets the DSOs who would have to run it.
