Grid Forming & their impact on the power system
As power systems transition to high shares of inverter-based resources, grid-forming (GFM) technology is emerging as a critical enabler of stability and resilience. Unlike conventional grid-following inverters, GFM converters actively shape voltage and frequency, providing the synthetic inertia and damping that modern grids increasingly require. This webinar brings together leading researchers from across Europe to explore the latest advances in GFM control, real-world deployment experiences, and the regulatory landscape shaping adoption.
