EES-UETP promotes a course on Synchronous Compensators, in Madrid, next June 13-14 2024 at and by UP. Comillas.

Organisation:

• Prof. L. Rouco (UP Comillas)
• Prof. Lukas Sigrist (UP Comillas)

Description:

The power system resulting from the energy transition will lack inertia and short circuit strength, affecting the stability of inverter-based resources (IBRs) under grid-following control
schemes. Despite the developments in grid-forming control of IBRs, synchronous compensators are being proposed and installed in many power systems to address the aforementioned issues. This course will provide the foundations to understand the behavior of synchronous compensators and their contribution to power systems dominated by IBRs. In addition, practical solutions will be described. The course will combine theoretical and laboratory sessions.
