Power grids were designed based on concepts that are continuously changing and our operation must adapt to the new paradigm. We are seeing power systems shifting from synchronous generation to inverter-based ones, we are moving from a small number of generators located in certain parts of the grid, to very high number of generators located in many parts of the power system, we are shifting from concentrated energy resources to consumer energy resources, also known as DER. While these changes have brought about many opportunities, they have resulted in the need to understand how these changes are affecting the power systems and the way we operate them. There are many aspects to be considered and the industry resources need to join with research community to rise to these challenges and use the opportunities created. This talk will focus on challenges and the potential solutions going forward. Speaker(s): , Dean Sharafi Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/438609
