Qualitrol Technology Showcase at IEEE 2026
Qualitrol isn’t just monitoring the grid — they’re teaching it to think.
At the 2026 IEEE PES T&D Show, Alan Ross of APC Media sat down with Phil Caruso, Director of Product & Marketing at Qualitrol, for a first look at Grid Assist — a new software platform turning 80 years of fault data into real-time, automated insights for utility engineers.
With the workforce knowledge gap growing and grids becoming more complex, Qualitrol is redefining what it means to operate a smarter, safer, and more reliable power system — without replacing the engineers who know it best.
In this episode:
- 80 years of transformer monitoring — from accessories to advanced analytics
- Dissolved gas analysis, partial discharge & fiber optic temperature monitoring
- GIS substation monitoring with ultra-high-frequency partial discharge sensors
- Grid Assist: automated fault & disturbance analysis in minutes, not hours
- How AI acts as a “second brain” to bridge the retiring workforce knowledge gap
- Open architecture & COMTRADE compatibility for seamless integration
