Summary
Read more on ELECTRAThe safety and reliability of power systems must endure when facing today’s challenges such as RES integration, energy transition, capacity and power balancing adequacy, restoration and modernization of the networks, and the installation of new generating and power system equipment. Metropolitan area and Large city power systems come to the forefront of energy and another sectors transformation. That’s why the two basic issues are investigated by JWG C1/C4.36 in this Technical Brochure:
- Discuss the development trends that are influenced by RES integration, energy transition, consumption and load values, generating capacity, and grid development in MA&LC power systems; and
- Identify the most commonly used solutions, such as, new generating, grid and information technologies that can address development trends and current, as well as future, problems and features of MA&LC power system operation and development.
