Opportunities and Challenges of Grid Modernization

With Decarbonization as one of our greatest challenges, more renewables are being connected. The restriction of this energy source to certain regions requires long AC or DC interconnectors. Therefore, Grid Modernization has been a global focus on changes needed in the power grid to accommodate all technical developments in generation, transmission & distribution. It is also often considered the increased application of sensors, smart assets and resilient smart infrastructure. In this session, we will address the main opportunities and challenges for Grid Modernization.
