Grid Integration Studies

Ensuring seamless integration of renewable energy sources into power grids with comprehensive analysis of converter-based systems and grid code compliance.

Integration of Renewables

Renewable Challenges

As renewable energy sources like wind and solar increasingly penetrate power systems, they pose challenges to grid operation and control due to their converter-based nature.

Grid Code Compliance

Grid integration studies ensure the feasibility and reliability of interconnecting renewable resources to AC networks while ensuring compliance with grid codes for renewable energy sources.
