- New applications and technologies applied to AC and DC onshore and offshore grid
- AC and DC onshore and offshore grid
- AC grid development, protection of the future meshed AC and DC system
- Sector integration including hydrogen, EV, energy hubs, DER
- Services/operation applied to AC and DC onshore and offshore grid
- Monitoring the system applied to AC and DC onshore and offshore grid
- Maintenance and Services applied to AC and DC onshore and offshore grid
PS2: Technologies supporting the power grid for energy transition to carbon neutral energy production
- Requirements for power grid and its equipment
- Inverter based control interacting with existing system and Converter stability issues (resonance stability, converter driven stability)
- Coordination between AC and DC networks
- Grid forming
- Multivendor interoperability
- New modelling tools
- Planning and operation of lower inertia system • System analysis (technical)
- Black start and resilience aspects including DER integration
- Optimize and increase the capacity of the energy transmission network
- Reliability and security – critical infrastructure
SYMPOSIUM VENUE
Trondheim is the 3rd largest city of Norway. The university NTNU together with the SINTEF research institute leads the world in many technology-based research areas. Nidaros Cathedral is one of Trondheim’s most famous tourist attractions and is worth a visit.
The venue for the Symposium will be Clarion Hotel Trondheim. 19 meeting rooms – with a capacity of 1800 participants for the largest one – make Clarion Hotel one of Scandinavia’s largest convention centers. Discover the view on the fjord, enjoy the modern Nordic design and the vibrant atmosphere.
