Topics

The topics of the 3rd SEERC Conference in Vienna are:

1. Transition to Future Power Systems in the SEERC Region

• Development of generation portfolio and Market Design (impact on power system control and operation)
• Efficiency, sustainability and environmental aspects
• Integration and influence of RES and electric vehicles
• Ageing assets
• Power System Resilience and Stability (impact of RES, extreme weather conditions)

2. Cross Border Cooperation in the SEERC Region

• Regional cooperation in research and innovation
• Cross-border balancing market and regional electricity market for greater integration of RES
• Grid congestions
• TSO/DSO cooperation (e.g. integration of flexibility)
• Power System Development (cyber security, forecasting tools, loss of rotating generators, active power reserves)

3. Innovation and New Technologies in the SEERC Region

• Power cables (increasing share in the grid, subsea connections)
• Energy Storage (new technologies, cost/benefit analysis, carbon capture, use cases)
• Experience in HVDC technology
• Monitoring systems (e.g. wide area monitoring, sensors, dynamic rating, drones)
• Experiences in applying innovation and new technologies (generators, substation equipment, maintenance, modern diagnostic systems, telecommunication, block chain)
