By connecting strategic insight with practical innovation, Iskraemeco demonstrates how outage management is no longer a standalone process, but an integral part of intelligent, resilient distribution networks.
Global Outage Management Forum for DSOs |Barcelona, Spain | April 16-17
Shaping the future of outage management and LV grid intelligence.
At the 11th Annual Global Outage Management Forum for DSOs, Iskraemeco takes an active role in shaping the dialogue on grid resilience, flexibility and digital intelligence. With leadership in the conference program and a deep-dive technical session, we contribute both strategic perspective and practical innovation.
Iskraemeco brings together strategic leadership and hands-on innovation. Our experts will address how distribution system operators can respond to increasing grid complexity, decentralization and outage challenges by combining system-level and edge intelligence.

Presentation: The Rise of Edge Intelligence in LV Networks
Klemen Žbontar, Lead Innovation Engineer
In his session, Klemen Žbontar, Lead Innovation Engineer at Iskraemeco, together with technology partners from Plexigrid, explores how low-voltage networks are evolving under the pressure of decentralization and increasing operational complexity. The presentation focuses on how combining system-level intelligence—such as AMI, GIS, weather data and digital twins—with edge intelligence embedded in smart meters transforms meters into active grid sensors and actuators. This approach enables faster, near-real-time decision-making and moves LV grids closer to autonomous, self-healing operation.
