ISGT Europe 2022 panel session 6: Enabling the energy transition while maintaining power system stability (Slides)

As the European Union (EU) continues to accelerate the energy transition, as shown by the implementation of the Clean Energy for all Europeans package and the European Green Deal, and prepares for finalising the Fit for 55 package, the IEEE European Public Policy Committee (EPPC), representing a large community of European engineering professionals, calls on EU policy makers to take action to maintain and enhance the security and stability of the electric power grid during the transition to a greener power system. Efficient, reliable and sustainable delivery of energy is critical to the health and welfare of the society at large. With an increasing penetration of renewable energy resources (RES) and high expectations from end-users for energy, business models are the key to integrating innovative technology into the grid. Developing business models within the transitioning energy sector can bridge the gap between technological innovation and climate impact, while leveraging an enormous economic potential. Maintaining power system stability is a complex task which greatly depends on the changes in the business models, technological developments and their roll up in the power system, policy and regulatory decisions related to it. This panel session will present the main challenges as well as indicating possible solutions to be further discussed:
- Stability and Control Challenges and Opportunities
- Modelling, analyses and information exchange/accessibility challenges
- HVDC, power electronics challenges
- DER and standardization harmonization challenges
