Power system restoration accounting for a rapidly changing power system and generation mix

Many power systems around the world are experiencing a rapid uptake of inverter-based resources (IBR), both in the form of large-scale generation and distributed energy resources (DER). This often coincides with a reduction in the number of online synchronous generators. IBRs and synchronous generators have different performance characteristics from several perspectives including the dynamic performance, and most notably the black start performance.

C2

Power system operation and control

This Technical Brochure has been created by a Working Group from the CIGRE Power System operation and control Study Committee which is one of CIGRE's 16 domains of work.
The scope of the SC C2 covers the technical, human resource and institutional aspects and conditions for a secure and economic operation of power systems in a way that is in compliance with requirements for network security, against system disintegration,
equipment damages and human injuries, and security of electricity supply. The members of C2 mainly come from transmission system operators. The SC is encouraging young members to participate in its activities.
