Opportunities and Challenges of Power Systems with High Penetration of Renewable Energy  

Synopsis

• How rising shares of variable renewables affect system stability, inertia and fault recovery
• Operational challenges created by greater intermittency and uncertainty across the grid
• The role of power electronics and what shifts in grid dynamics mean for system operators
• Barriers to large scale deployment, including high storage costs, evolving policy frameworks and immature market mechanisms
• Why data security, interoperability and cross sector coordination are becoming core system risks
• Where grid forming PCS strengthens system stability, and what gaps remain
• How NR’s NR ISGrid solution integrates power system engineering with power electronics and what has been demonstrated across more than 100 validated projects
