Taipei, Taiwan, May 17, 2010—This year's POWERGRID Europe conference in Amsterdam will feature a keynote speech from Moxa. Edward Lu, Business Development Manager of Moxa Europe, will present Turbo Chain, a new recovery system for substation automation that upgrades Ethernet redundant tree technology.

This year's  POWERGRID Europe conference, to be held June 8-10 2010, comes at a time of growing global focus on electricity transmission and distribution (T&D). "Attendees of POWERGRID Europe will have access to insider knowledge and insights from thought leaders on industry adjustments, growing pains, experiments, and successes," explained Lu.

Lu will present "A new recovery system beyond Ethernet redundant tree technology for substation automation" on June 9th in Session 4: Interoperability: Raising the standard. Moxa's Turbo Chain is an advanced redundancy technology that solves the inflexible topologies of mesh networking, the slow recovery time of STP/RSTEP, and the limited interoperability and ring restrictions of ring redundancy.
