Energy Transmission

The Challenge

Grid Stability

Increasing renewable generation is creating new challenges for maintaining stability across transmission networks.

Frequency & Voltage Regulation

Inverter-based generators must increasingly contribute to frequency and voltage regulation to maintain a reliable power system.

Wide-Area Monitoring & Control

Advanced monitoring and control technologies are needed to improve system awareness and manage disturbances across large geographical areas.

Our Research
