Room: tba

Information

ESIG (Energy System Integration Group) is organising a workshop on electric systems planning and reliable operations with large loads. This event is organized in cooperation with Energynautics.

The workshop will be held at the venue of the 25th Wind & Solar Integration Workshop, the Pestana Douro Riverside.

Workshop Details

The workshop is planned to address the evolving challenges of electric systems planning and the reliable operation of large loads. As significant new demand sources—ranging from large-scale data centers to hydrogen and Power-to-X plants—enter interconnection queues, the exchange of technical knowledge between European and North American stakeholders becomes increasingly essential.

Anticipated sessions of this one day workshop include:

Load Growth Forecasts and Flexibility for planning
Connection Processes and Network Upgrades
Technical Reliability and Grid Codes and system stability studies

Join us for a cocktail reception in the evening following a day full of inspiring talks, insights, and exhange.
