- ABB brings a comprehensive portfolio of grid solutions to DTECH 2026
- ABB technologies support grid operators in managing complex power demands while maintaining continuous service
- Live demos showcase ABB's digital tools transforming grid management and strengthening reliability
Reinforcing its dedication to advancing reliability and resiliency for the utility sector, ABB will present its full spectrum of grid solutions at DTECH 2026, a premier annual transmission and distribution conference. Utility professionals visiting booth #3129 will discover how ABB serves as a trusted partner in helping balance grid demand with rising costs. DTECH 2026 takes place in San Diego, California, February 2-5.
The power grid serves as the foundation of modern life and ABB delivers innovative solutions that strengthen the reliability and resilience of utility infrastructure. Representing more than an electrical network, the power grid is the essential system supporting critical services, including water systems, hospitals and data centers. Rising electricity demand requires utility operators to manage significant and simultaneous challenges, spanning aging infrastructure and diminishing reserve margins, as well as more frequent and severe weather events.
"Ensuring reliability and resilience drives everything we do," said Alex Richert, US and Latin America Region Leader for ABB Electrification. "ABB understands the urgent challenges utility operators face today. Our technologies help operators address the demands of modern power systems while maintaining dependable service their customers expect."
Attendees to DTECH booth #3129 can experience the Digital Control Center, featuring live demonstrations of ABB's reliability and resiliency solutions developed specifically for utility applications to optimize power grid performance. Core capabilities include:
Intelligent Substations: Grid expansion and renewable integration are accelerating faster than ever. Intelligent substations are critical for modern infrastructure, providing real-time data and seamless integration to support utilities and developers in optimizing grid performance and help ensure a reliable, future-ready power network.
Microgrid and Renewable Energy Management: As urban landscapes evolve and energy demands escalate, microgrid solutions are at the forefront of driving resilience and adaptability, revolutionizing power systems to address the urgent need for environmental sustainability and reliability. By incorporating diverse distributed energy resources (DERs), these solutions help deliver localized, flexible and cost-effective power.
Centralized Protection and Control: The ability to protect and control a wide variety of utility and industrial applications with a single device on substation level allows convenient station-wide visibility, minimal engineering, easy and cost-efficient process management, while delivering optimal, lifelong asset management.
eHouse and Power Distribution Centers: The eHouse simplifies execution by integrating all critical systems into a factory-tested enclosure, reducing interfaces, improving quality control and enabling faster commissioning. Whether deployed in data centers, mining, oil and gas, or utilities, ABB’s eHouse is backed by ABB’s team of solutions execution and product experts.
