- ABB delivers reliable and resilient grid technology at IEEE PES 2026
- Live equipment showcases and technical sessions explore grid automation, AI capabilities and advanced distribution solutions
Continuing its support of the utility sector in meeting growing power demands while prioritizing reliability and resiliency, ABB will present its comprehensive portfolio of grid solutions at the biannual IEEE PES T&D conference and exposition. ABB invites utility professionals to visit booth #1131 to experience innovation through hands-on and virtual showcases in Chicago, Illinois, on May 5-7, 2026.
The power grid is changing rapidly with greater demand needed to support critical services such as water systems, hospitals and data centers, while overcoming challenges from aging infrastructure, weather events and rising operational costs. ABB delivers innovative solutions to address these challenges, strengthening the reliability and resiliency of utility infrastructure.
"Balancing the growing demand on the grid with the urgent need for more responsible, sustainable energy generation requires the right partner," said Deni Miller, U.S. Business Leader, ABB Electrification. "With over 100 years of industry knowledge and proven grid innovations, ABB is committed to delivering electrical solutions that help improve reliability, minimize outages and enable utilities to create a more sustainable and resource-efficient future."
Attendees at IEEE PES T&D booth #1131 can evaluate live equipment, explore advanced digital automation and interact with real-time demonstrations. Attendees are also invited to 20 technical sessions focused on grid automation, AI-driven capabilities and advanced distribution solutions with live product demos and Q&A with ABB engineers.
Intelligent Substations: Intelligent substations are critical for grid expansion and modern infrastructure, providing real-time data and seamless integration to optimize grid performance and help support a more resilient, adaptable power network.
Microgrid and Renewable Energy Management: Microgrid solutions are at the forefront of transforming 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 for Distribution: A single device on substation level provides convenient station-wide visibility and protection across a wide variety of utility and industrial applications. This approach brings 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, eHouse is backed by ABB's team of solutions execution and product experts.
