Against this backdrop, the energy sector is facing new challenges, where precise time synchronisation is becoming a strategic asset — a topic that Gorgy Time will address during the CIGRÉ Paris 2026 session, the global meeting place for power grid professionals.
A common and accurate time reference is essential to ensure event consistency, automation reliability and secure communication between connected systems. Precise time synchronisation also plays a vital role in the performance of SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition), EMS (Energy Management Systems), DMS (Distribution Management Systems) and power system protection applications.
Reliable Time Synchronisation for Critical Energy Infrastructure
In electrical substations and control centres, every event must be accurately timestamped. Reliable time synchronisation helps to:
- ensure the correct operation of protection and automation systems;
- provide accurate event timestamping for faster fault analysis and diagnostics;
- synchronise equipment using NTP and PTP (IEEE 1588) protocols;
- improve data consistency across interconnected systems;
- strengthen infrastructure resilience through a reliable time reference and high-availability solutions.
Modern power networks also rely on standards such as IEC 61850 for substation automation. Accurate time synchronisation is essential to support these digital environments and ensure the reliable operation of connected equipment.
Time Servers Designed for the Energy Sector
For more than 50 years, Gorgy Time has been designing and manufacturing Made in France time synchronisation solutions for the world's most demanding applications.
Our portfolio of time servers is designed to meet the requirements of utilities, power producers and critical infrastructure operators for the energy Sector:
- LEDI NETWORK ITS V2m, an NTP/PTP time server designed for industrial applications and critical networks;
- LEDI NETWORK ATS, available with TCXO, OCXO or Rubidium oscillators, delivering outstanding holdover performance to maintain a stable time reference in the event of GNSS signal loss;
- RT4000, a high-precision time server engineered for the most demanding applications requiring exceptional timing stability, resilience and uninterrupted operation;
- solutions supporting the major GNSS constellations and incorporating redundancy mechanisms to ensure maximum service continuity.
Combining precision, robustness and security, Gorgy Time's time servers integrate seamlessly into modern power network architectures, including electrical substations, control centres, power generation facilities and other critical energy infrastructure.
Meet the Gorgy Time Team at CIGRÉ Paris 2026
CIGRÉ is a unique opportunity to exchange expertise, discover the latest innovations driving the energy transition and discuss the growing importance of time synchronisation in critical power infrastructure.
If you are attending the exhibition, come and see us from 23 to 28 August 2026 at the Palais des Congrès in Paris. We would be delighted to discuss your projects and introduce our time synchronisation solutions for the energy sector, designed to meet the highest standards of availability, accuracy and cybersecurity for today's and tomorrow's power networks.
We firmly believe that a reliable time reference is a fundamental building block for the performance, security and resilience of modern energy infrastructure.
