The focus is on several key aspects\, including the simulation and soft ware modeling of renewable energy units\, the need for automation and mach ine learning\, and the importance of grid forming inverters.\n\nOne major challenge for power system studies for renewable energy resources is the a ccurate simulation and software modeling of these units. This presentation provides the recent development of these units where the actual hardware codes can be extracted and used in the power system studies software.\n\nT he lecture also elaborates the need for automation and machine learning te chniques in future power systems with high renewable energy penetration. B y leveraging these technologies\, various applications such as renewable e nergy generation forecasting\, grid operation optimization\, and system st ability enhancement can be achieved.\n\nFinally\, the lecture elaborates t he importance of grid forming inverters. Traditional grid-following invert ers rely on stable grid conditions to operate\, making them less suitable for systems with a high share of renewable energy. Grid forming inverters\ , on the other hand\, play a critical role in providing grid stability and enabling system operation even during grid disturbances. Developing grid forming inverters with advanced control strategies and robust functionalit y is essential for ensuring reliable and stable power system operations in the future.\n\nThe event is open to all and includes light snack and netw orking.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Mehdi Narimani / Marjan Alavi\n\nSpeaker(s): D r.
