COMSOL Invited to Attend the 2026 IEEE PES Transmission and Distribution Technical Committee (China) Annual Conference, Where Its Showcase of Multiphysics Simulation Technology in Power Equipment Design Optimization and Digital Twins Drew Significant Attention.
ShanghaiJune 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The 2026 IEEE PES Transmission and Distribution Technical Committee (China) Annual Conference, co-organized by the IEEE PES Transmission and Distribution Technical Committee (China), the Zhongguancun Smart Power Industry Technology Alliance, and the Electric Power Technology Committee of the China Energy Research Society, was successfully held in Beijing on May 22-23.
This annual conference established a high-level international exchange platform in the field of transmission and distribution, bringing together authoritative experts, research scholars, and leading industry enterprises from around the world. It showcased cutting-edge global innovations in transmission and distribution technology and the innovative application of digital twin technology for power equipment, injecting new momentum into the green and low-carbon transformation of energy and the high-quality development of the power industry.
As a globally leading provider of multiphysics simulation software, COMSOL showcased its innovative solutions tailored for the power industry during the conference, attracting numerous professional visitors from grid companies, power enterprises, and research institutes.
Attendees showed keen interest in the powerful capabilities of COMSOL multiphysics simulation software for power equipment design optimization and digital twins. They engaged in in-depth discussions with COMSOL simulation experts on specific topics, including design optimization of key power equipment such as switchgear, transformers, and power cables; electric field distribution and insulation performance evaluation under short circuits, discharges, lightning strikes, and ultra-high voltage environments; and the practical application of digital twins in equipment safety and maintenance. The lively on-site response highlighted the significant impact of multiphysics simulation technology in China’s power industry.
As a global leader in multiphysics simulation technology, COMSOL continues to focus on the application of simulation technology in the energy sector. The company co-authored the “White Paper on Digital Twins for Power Equipment,” led by IEEE PES and State Grid Corporation of China. This white paper was officially released globally through the IEEE platform in 2024, systematically summarizing the latest research achievements in power equipment digital twins both domestically and internationally, with a particular emphasis on China. In the white paper, COMSOL demonstrated high-fidelity multiphysics coupling simulation methods, shared practical experience in developing simulation apps deployable in digital twin scenarios based on its simulation platform, and systematically outlined a full lifecycle digital pathway from R&D and design to operation and diagnostic maintenance.
This deep participation in the 2026 IEEE PES Transmission and Distribution Technical Committee (China) Annual Conference marks a solid step forward for COMSOL in driving the digital transformation of the power industry. Looking ahead, COMSOL will continue to collaborate with industry partners, leveraging innovative simulation technology to support the high-quality development of the power sector.
