Our consortium will be delivering an exciting tutorial not to be missed!

Check all the information here

The proliferation of renewable energy resources in transmission and distribution networks towards resilient carbon-neutral power systems highlights the growing need for well-rounded training and education of a large workforce of engineers to tackle the emerging challenges and needs of renewable-rich power systems. This tutorial brings together experience and expertise from several European partners of the newly funded Horizon Europe “Transition to sustainable future through training and education” (TRANSIT) project to provide novel training and education methodologies, tools and technological solutions on renewable energy systems. It will first introduce the challenges and needs of renewable-dominated power systems in the context of the European Green Deal for clean energy transition, and then it will provide holistic training on innovative approaches using state-of-the-art tools and solutions based on a wide range of power system software platforms (such as Typhoon HIL, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, and Matlab/Simulink), offering a unique opportunity to the participants for hands-on experience on renewable energy system simulation, modelling and planning.
