The power system of the future: sustainability and growth of inverter-based resources

SPRINT was funded in October 2020 with the aim of supporting the development of the future power system.

 

To achieve this aim, we are working on these key areas:

  • Advanced modelling of power system equipment

  • Development of controls to facilitate integration of power-converter based resources into the electricity grid. 

  • Applications of machine learning to electricity demand and generation forecasting. â€‹

  • Dissemination events and engagement. 

Sustainable Power
and Renewable energy INTegration
