Welotec Joins the vPAC Alliance: A Leap Towards Digital Transformation in Energy

We are proud to announce our latest partnership: Welotec is now an official member of the vPAC Alliance! The vPAC Alliance stands at the forefront of innovation, specializing in the virtualization of protection, automation, and control technologies within substations. By joining this groundbreaking initiative, Welotec will collaborate with leading companies and organizations worldwide to drive the transformation and digitalization of energy supply infrastructure.

What is the vPAC Alliance?

The global shift towards sustainable energy infrastructure is putting significant pressure on the power grid. With the integration of weather-dependent renewable energy sources, the grid is experiencing increased complexity. Simultaneously, the demand for electricity is soaring due to the electrification of transportation, heating, cooking systems, and the growing need for computing and communication systems. To manage these dynamic and bi-directional power systems, a new paradigm of adaptive, resilient, secure, and intelligent grid control is essential.

The vPAC (Virtual Protection Automation and Control) Alliance was formed by technology leaders to address these industry challenges. The Alliance calls for standards that promote flexible, manageable, and interoperable platforms. By leveraging software-defined technologies and virtualized versions of standard solutions, industry participants can develop the adaptive, intelligent tools and algorithms required for the future grid.
