STRATON AUTOMATION will take part in CIGRE Session 2026, one of the leading international events dedicated to power systems, taking place from August 23 to 28, 2026, at the Palais des Congrès in Paris.
On this occasion, our team will be present on the COPA-DATA booth, Level 1 – Booth 125, to meet with energy sector stakeholders and discuss the evolution of control and automation architectures, interoperability, and the digitalization of substations.
Accelerating substation virtualization
The transformation of electrical infrastructures comes with new challenges: system modernization, reduced hardware dependency, cybersecurity, service continuity, and simplified maintenance operations.
In this context, substation virtualization opens up new opportunities for utilities and industrial players. By enabling automation functions to run in virtualized, containerized, or hardware-independent environments, it facilitates the evolution of architectures while preserving existing business logic.
With its IEC 61131-3 environment, hardware- and operating-system-independent runtime, and Virtual PLC approach, straton enables the deployment of flexible and scalable automation applications suited to next-generation architectures.
Strengthened expertise in IEC 61850
CIGRE Session will also be an opportunity to highlight our expertise in the IEC 61850 standard, which is essential for digital substations and modern electrical infrastructures.
STRATON AUTOMATION holds IEC 61850 Edition 2.1 Client Level A certification, confirming the compliance of its client stack with the requirements of the standard. This certification reinforces our commitment to providing interoperable, reliable solutions tailored to the needs of energy stakeholders.
Our IEC 61850 offering is part of a comprehensive approach combining soft PLC, communication protocols, simulation tools, engineering services, and technical support.
Meet our team
Throughout CIGRE Session 2026, our team will be available on the COPA-DATA booth to discuss your projects related to substation virtualization, IEC 61850 integration, or the modernization of your automation architectures.
