Future Skills and Industry Trends in High-Voltage Engineering | HVDC, AI, Digital Grids & Careers
Abstract
This talk examines how high-voltage engineering is evolving as power systems shift toward HVDC, digital grids, renewable integration, and AI-enabled operation. It covers the skills that defined HV engineering over the last decade and the emerging capabilities now in demand, including power electronics, digital twins, condition-based maintenance, cybersecurity, climate-resilient design, and SF₆-free technologies. The video also discusses global workforce demand, manufacturing and utility trends, academia–industry alignment, and career pathways across utilities, manufacturing, R&D, and energy transition projects. This session is aimed at engineers, researchers, students, and professionals planning their future in the HV and energy sectors #HighVoltageEngineering #FutureSkills #IndustryTrends #HVDC #DigitalGrids #PowerElectronics #EnergyTransition #AIinPowerSystems #DigitalTwins #ConditionBasedMaintenance #GridForming #RenewableIntegration #SF6Free #HVDiagnostics #EngineeringCareers #STEMCareers #GlobalWorkforce #Utilities #EnergyInfrastructure
