PowerDiag 2026

Workshop – PowerDiag

About the Workshop

PowerDiag 2026 (Days of Diagnostics) is an international professional event dedicated to the diagnostics, testing, monitoring, and maintenance of power system equipment. The objective of the conference/workshop is to bring together industry, electric utilities, research institutions, and the academic community through the exchange of knowledge, practical experience, and modern solutions for power system asset management.

The workshop and technical session program is structured according to the technical scope of the Study Committees of HRO CIGRE:

A1 – Power Generation and Electromechanical Energy Conversion
A2 – Power Transformers and Reactors
A3 – Transmission and Distribution Equipment
D1 – Materials and Emerging Testing Techniques
