Cigre Next Generation Network, NGN, Brazil and Sweden invites you to the upcoming Zoom webinar ”Hosting Capacity for Modern Power Systems”.
The event takes place at September 18, 2024 at 7 pm Swedish time (GMT+2).
Hosting capacity is a concept in electrical engineering that quantifies the amount of distributed energy resources connected before the grid performance deteriorates beyond acceptable parameters.
The upcoming International NGN webinar ”Hosting Capacity for Modern Power Systems” will explore the fundamentals of hosting capacity, approaching the importance of these network studies and highlighting the challenges and opportunities for the subject.
The presentations aim to share knowledge on hosting capacity for distribution grids, focusing on voltage quality problems, and explain how the subject investigation can be extended to other applications related to harmonic issues, equipment, transmission systems, and more.
Speakers:
Rafael S. Salles, Cigre Member Brazil. He is pursuing a Ph.D. degree in electric power engineering with the Electric Power Engineering Group, Luleå University of Technology, Skellefteå, Sweden. His research interests are power quality, energy storage, and smart grids. He is an active member of IEEE and CIGRE. Currently, he is a CIGRE Next Generation Network (NGN) representative for the Brazilian C4 (Committee of Power System Technical Performance).
Tais T. de Oliveira, Cigre Member Brazil. Currently she is pursuing a PhD in electric power engineering at Luleå University of Technology, Skellefteå, Sweden. Her research interests are power systems planning, power quality, renewable production and distributed energy resources. Her current research has been focused on Hosting Capacity.
Matt Bollen, Cigre Member Sweden. Professor in electric power engineering at Luleå University of Technology, Skellefteå, Sweden. He is since many years one of the leading researchers on power quality, having introduced voltage dips as a research area, having more recently contributed to defining supraharmonics as a research area, and having developed and spread the concept of “hosting capacity”. Beyond power quality, he has made research contributions to power-system protection, power-system reliability, integration of renewable electricity production, and smart grids. He is Fellow IEEE since 2005 for contributions to power quality and recipient of the CIGRE technical committee award in 2009.
