CIGRE International Symposium Trondheim 2025 - Call for papers

Hosted by the Nordic Regional Council of CIGRE (NRCC)

Symposium theme

The CIGRE NRCC 2025 symposium in Trondheim will be on the theme: Changes Needed in The Power System - for the Energy Transition. This will be divided into two topic streams:

PS1: Integration of renewable energy resources to the grid

• Environmentally friendly power grid and its equipment
• New applications and technologies applied to AC and DC onshore and offshore grid
• AC and DC onshore and offshore grid
• AC grid development, protection of the future meshed AC and DC system
• Sector integration including hydrogen, EV, energy hubs, DER
• Services/operation applied to AC and DC onshore and offshore grid
• Monitoring the system applied to AC and DC onshore and offshore grid
• Maintenance and Services applied to AC and DC onshore and offshore grid

PS2: Technologies supporting the power grid for energy transition to carbon neutral energy production

• Requirements for power grid and its equipment
• Inverter based control interacting with existing system and Converter stability issues (resonance stability, converter driven stability)
• Coordination between AC and DC networks
• Grid forming
• Multivendor interoperability
• New modelling tools
• Planning and operation of lower inertia system
• System analysis (technical)
• Black start and resilience aspects including DER integration
• Optimize and increase the capacity of the energy transmission network
• Reliability and security – critical infrastructure

Participating Study Committees

• A3 - Transmission and distribution equipment
• B1 - Insulated cables (co-lead)
