The 5th International Conference on Smart Grid Synchronized Measurements and Analytics

SGSMA 2026

June 1-4, 2026

Santiago de Chile, Chile

The broad electrification of the world economy, the continued deployment of renewables and the expansive means to reduce carbon emissions requires a reliable and resilient electric grid. Ensuring power system security and stability requires accurate, timely and verified synchronized measurements of time varying and noisy current and voltage signals, collected across vast electrical grids, numerous different electrical components and in the presence of volatile renewable energy sources. Synchronized measurements and their analysis support operational control and may enhance decisions in generation and grid investments. The infrastructure that enables, transmits, secures and stores synchronized measurements (incl. the cloud) becomes crucially important, too. The International Conference on Smart Grid Synchronized Measurements and Analytics 2026 (SGSMA 2026) is the leading forum for disseminating the latest research and innovations on this multi-faceted topic.

Topics of interest – all on synchronized measurements and their systems/devices:

Bad data detection and troubleshooting
Metrics for performance evaluation
Wide-area monitoring, control and protection of the electrical grid,
microgrids and industrial plants
Analytics and visualization of infrastructure
Cyber-physical security
The next generation control centers
Optimal placement
Theoretical and fundamental advances
Accuracy of waveform and phasor calculation

Signal processing for waveform components estimation
Modeling, simulation and digital twins
Time synchronization, clock sources, signal dissemination,
instrumentation & uncertainty
Certification, commissioning, field testing & calibration
Sensors, communications & computing for analytics
Databases & integration with legacy systems & the cloud
Educational needs and development
Experiences & views from IEEE WiP & YPs, & CIGRE Women
in Energy & Next Generation Network
