DESCRIPTION:[]\n\nDiscover grid modernization lessons from remote island sy
 stems. As part of the IEEE ISGT Latin America 2025 Congress\, we invite yo
 u to this unmissable webinar where we will explore how theory meets realit
 y in isolated electrical systems\, and the innovative strategies to face t
 he challenges of modern energy transformation.\n\nIn this talk\, Pavanchan
 dra Mandava\, Principal Engineer at NextEra Energy with over a decade of e
 xperience in global power systems\, will present the main challenges facin
 g the legacy electrical grid amid the exponential growth of energy demand 
 —particularly from data centers— alongside the imperative transition t
 oward decarbonization. Topics will include large-scale integration of crit
 ical loads\, seamless renewable energy interconnections\, deployment of ne
 w transmission infrastructure\, and the development of more agile\, resili
 ent\, and intelligent systems capable of managing the dynamics of a highly
  distributed and variable energy landscape.\n\nHis technical expertise spa
 ns from substation design\, protection & controls\, to renewable energy in
 tegration\, energy market operations\, microgrids\, data centers\, and dis
 tributed energy resources (DERs). This webinar is an excellent opportunity
  for professionals\, academics\, and decision-makers interested in learnin
 g coordinated systems-level approaches to project planning and execution t
 hat encompass technical\, regulatory\, and financial dimensions\, especial
 ly relevant for geographically isolated power systems where reliability an
 d resilience are paramount.\n\nSpeaker(s): Pavanchandra Mandava\, \n\nVirt
