Discover grid modernization lessons from remote island systems. As part of the IEEE ISGT Latin America 2025 Congress, we invite you to this unmissable webinar where we will explore how theory meets reality in isolated electrical systems, and the innovative strategies to face the challenges of modern energy transformation.

In this talk, Pavanchandra Mandava, Principal Engineer at NextEra Energy with over a decade of experience in global power systems, will present the main challenges facing the legacy electrical grid amid the exponential growth of energy demand —particularly from data centers— alongside the imperative transition toward decarbonization. Topics will include large-scale integration of critical loads, seamless renewable energy interconnections, deployment of new transmission infrastructure, and the development of more agile, resilient, and intelligent systems capable of managing the dynamics of a highly distributed and variable energy landscape.

His technical expertise spans from substation design, protection & controls, to renewable energy integration, energy market operations, microgrids, data centers, and distributed energy resources (DERs). This webinar is an excellent opportunity for professionals, academics, and decision-makers interested in learning coordinated systems-level approaches to project planning and execution that encompass technical, regulatory, and financial dimensions, especially relevant for geographically isolated power systems where reliability and resilience are paramount.
