The two public events focused on the many and complex challenges that TSOs and all those connected to the power system are faced with as we move towards a carbon neutral future with a growing share of renewable generation and a power electronics dominated grid. The webinars brought together experts in the field of grid operations and development for an exchange on the acceleration of the uptake of new technologies for stability management and RoCoF withstand capability.
- What is the impact of the energy transition on system behavior?
- How can different stability phenomena compromise security of supply?
- How can stakeholders collaborate and where to focus RD&I efforts?
- What is the impact of high RoCoF events on nucelar power plants and the risk of system splits?
- What is the ENTSO-E proposal for amending the connection network codes regarding RoCoF and grid forming?
These and other topics were discussed during the two events, together with concrete national examples of stability related challenges. As reference, please view the ENTSO-E Position Paper on Stability Management in Power Electronics Dominated Systems, published in June 2022 (LINK).
