The growing electrification of the economy, large-scale integration of renewable energy, deployment of major energy consumers such as data centres, and digitalisation of grid infrastructure are transforming the operating conditions of power systems. This webinar will explore the emerging challenges related to grid stability, operational resilience and cybersecurity, with energy storage systems and Grid Forming inverter technologies playing an increasingly prominent role in providing the essential services required by the power grid of the future.

During this webinar, we will address some of the main challenges facing system operators, developers and energy asset owners:

• The reduction in inertia and grid strength in systems with high renewable energy penetration.
• The need for new stability services to ensure safe and resilient grid operation.
• The role of energy storage systems and Grid Forming technologies in providing frequency and voltage support, inverter-based inertia and Black Start capabilities.
• The evolution of grid services markets and remuneration mechanisms associated with stability and inertia services.
• The impact of data centre growth and other new power-intensive loads on grid planning.
• The cybersecurity challenges associated with energy infrastructure that is becoming increasingly connected, digitalised and dependent on distributed resources.

Through an analysis of regulatory trends, practical case studies and SMA Solar Technology's international experience, we will explore how the technical requirements of power systems are evolving and what capabilities will be needed to ensure the security, stability and resilience of future electricity systems.

This webinar is aimed at grid operators, developers, integrators and owners of renewable energy and energy storage projects, as well as professionals interested in the challenges of power system stability, resilience and digital security.

Our speaker will be Héctor Rodríguez, Application Engineer for the Large Scale segment in Southern Europe. He provides technical support for photovoltaic projects and utility-scale BESS systems, while also monitoring regulatory and technological developments in the region's energy sector.
