DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nThe pandemic and the war in Ukraine are situations 
 that jeopardize the implementation of ambitious energy transitions in the 
 short and long term\, in Europe for instance due to the energy dependence 
 on imports of natural gas\, oil and coal. To overcome this major concern\,
  in March 2022\, the European Commission defined a new plan to minimize su
 ch problems. The panorama in Switzerland is not any different and is antic
 ipated to request transmission system operators (TSOs) to accelerate the i
 ntegration of renewable sources\, which can introduce sever challenges due
  to the lack of long-term energy storage and the volatility of these resou
 rces\, particularly during extreme winter seasons. The electrical network 
 in Europe span thousands of kilometres and it comprises several countries 
 with the particularity of potentially becoming even larger (incorporation 
 of Ukraine and Moldova). Decommissioning of nuclear based electricity and 
 dependence on highly stochastic energy sources made the operation of these
  systems highly complex as already experienced in serious events in 2021 a
 cross Europe. Although\, a system collapse has not been experienced\, the 
 recent events underlined the fragility of the system and evidenced that if
  no additional measures for the operation of the system are implemented\, 
 a future system collapse is around the corner. In this presentation a brie
 f overview of the current conditions of the European power system are disc
 ussed and then some examples of the technical work that the power system g
 roup at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences is doing to tackle these
  problems is provided.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Laboratory for Cognition and Co

 emic and the war in Ukraine are situations that jeopardize the implementat
 ion of ambitious energy transitions in the short and long term\, in Europe

 ommission defined a new plan to minimize such problems. The panorama in Sw
 itzerland is not any different and is anticipated to request transmission 
 system operators (TSOs) to accelerate the integration of renewable sources
 \, which can introduce sever challenges due to the lack of long-term energ

 eme winter seasons. The electrical network in Europe span thousands of kil
 ometres and it comprises several countries with the particularity of poten
 tially becoming even larger (incorporation of Ukraine and Moldova). Decomm
 issioning of nuclear based electricity and dependence on highly stochastic
  energy sources made the operation of these systems highly complex as alre
 ady experienced in serious events in 2021 across Europe. Although\, a syst
 em collapse has not been experienced\, the recent events underlined the fr
 agility of the system and evidenced that if no additional measures for the
  operation of the system are implemented\, a future system collapse is aro
 und the corner. In this presentation a brief overview of the current condi
 tions of the European power system are discussed and then some examples of
  the technical work that the power system group at the Zurich University o
