From Point-to-Point HVDC to Converter-Dominated Networks: Why Benchmark Models Matter

10 septembre 2026
Few technologies have transformed modern transmission systems as profoundly as HVDC. As the global energy transition fundamentally reshapes power systems, ambitious decarbonisation targets, rapidly increasing renewable energy penetration, and the growing need for long-distance electricity transmission have accelerated the deployment of High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) technology around the world.Read More 

Synchronous Grid Forming STATCOMs With and Without Energy Storage

10 septembre 2026

The global energy transition is fundamentally reshaping the electrical characteristics of the AC power system. As fossil fueled synchronous generation is progressively displaced by power electronic interfaced renewable resources, one of the most consequential side effects is the steady erosion of system inertia.Read More

A Grid That Must Do More - Possibilities, limits and risks for increasing transformer overload capability

10 septembre 2026
Power systems worldwide are facing increasing demand from electrification, renewable generation, data centres and industrial growth. At the same time, utilities face growing challenges in delivering new infrastructure due to long equipment lead times, supply chain constraints and rising costs. As a result, industry is shifting from a traditional approach to one focused on making better use of existing assets.Read More
