Farewell and Best Wishes, Ramon! 💬 It was with a heavy heart that we bid farewell to Ramon Abritta, whose time at the Department of Geosciences, NTNU, has been marked by great contributions. 🎓 During his tenure with us, Ramon co-authored a significant study on the short-circuit current contributions of large-scale full-converter-based wind power plants, published in IEEE Access. 📚 His collaborative work on grid compliance advancements in wind power, focusing on component and subsystem testing, has been influential in the field. Abritta has recently submitted the first version of his PhD thesis for internal review. 🔬 Additionally, Ramon's research on the challenges of representing digital applications within the Smart Grid Architecture Model has provided valuable insights for the integration of modern technologies into power systems. 🎉 It’s a testament to our vibrant community that Ramon was sent off with heartfelt cards and cake, lovingly prepared by his fellow PhD students and researchers. We extend our best wishes to Ramon in his future endeavors and look forward to hearing of his continued success! #GeosciencesNTNU #WindPowerResearch #SmartGridChallenges

- What challenges are imposed by the current limitation on the transient stability of grid-forming converters? - In which situations does a grid-forming converter transition between current-saturation mode and normal operation mode? - Under which circumstances does a grid-forming converter fail to recover from the current-saturation mode to the normal operation mode? Our recent paper, Modeling Fault Recovery and Transient Stability of Grid-Forming Converters Equipped With Current Reference Limitation, focuses on addressing the above questions. You can access the paper at https://lnkd.in/e6bm5eii. I would like to thank Prof. Bikash Pal, Dr. Yifei Guo, and Dr. Guangya Yang for their invaluable contributions and to acknowledge the funding support from the InnoCyPES Marie Curie project.

It is our pleasure to invite you to attend the webinar "Building Resilient Autonomous Software-Defined Industrial OT Networks: A Case of Offshore Wind Farms" by Agrippina Mwangi, InnoCyPES ESR.

A few days ago, I submitted the first version of my #PhD thesis for internal review. I know modifications will be needed, and the defence will still wait for at least a few months. Still, the feelings of 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 are starting to kick in. When I left Brasil to begin this adventure around 3 years ago, I could never imagine how many amazing people I would meet, how much I would learn, and how many incredible places I would visit. Since LinkedIn is more on the professional side, I'll leave my personal reflections for other social media. Here, I want to thank the Department of Geosciences and InnoCyPES, also extending to my supervisors, Alexey Pavlov, Damiano Varagnolo, and Børre Tore Børresen, for the fantastic experiences they enabled me to have during my project. I am eager to face the next challenges awaiting me!

It was a pleasure to attend CIGRE UK NGN AGM and present a keynote speech on "An Overview of Challenges Imposed by the Current Limitation on Transient Stability of Grid-Forming Converters" on 13th November 2024. I enjoyed the follow-up discussions and questions on this topic, which is part of my PhD research at Imperial College London. My research is funded by the InnoCyPES Marie Skłodowska-Curie project.

📖 ☀ Summer School 2024: Exploring the Cyber-Physical Evolution of Offshore Wind and Distribution Grids. The event was hosted at the Università del Salento in Lecce, Italy, from September 9th to 13th, 2024. The programme focused on innovative and key topics for the future of power systems: IoT-Edge Networks, Cybersecurity, Data Management, Power Quality, and Grid-Forming Inverter-Based Resources and Stability. The event was a hybrid experience, with participants attending in-person and online, creating an international platform to discuss innovations and challenges in renewable energy systems. Simultaneously, we also held a consortium meeting of our doctoral network, reviewing recent activities and mapping out plans for the future. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed and participated. Innovative Tools for Cyber-Physical Energy Systems (#InnoCyPES) is part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme.

We’re proud to see our Early-Stage Researchers, José (ESR 14) and Roberto (ESR 15), making a real impact at Sustainable Energy Week 2024 in Geneva. Their active participation within the UNECE Task Force on Digitalization in Energy reflects the importance of our InnoCyPES Work Package 5, which focuses on the socio-economic, regulatory, and policy aspects of energy digitalization. Congratulations! #InnoCyPES #EnergyTransition #UNECE #Digitalization #EnergyEfficiency

Excellent news from Geneva! It is fantastic to see our early-stage researchers (ESRs) making such impactful contributions. We are glad that ESR 14 and ESR 15, José Ángel Leiva Vilaplana and Roberto Monaco, participated in Sustainable Energy Week 2024 in Geneva. Their significant involvement with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe - Group of Experts on Energy Efficiency and the 'Digitalization in Energy' Task Force highlighted the value of our InnoCyPES Work Package 5 on Socio-Economic, Regulatory, and Policy Aspects of Digitalization. Stay tuned for more updates from the InnoCyPES project on the economics and regulation of digitalization!

Excited for tomorrow’s session at the InnoCyPES PhD Summer School! Join us on Wednesday, September 11th, 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM CET for a deep dive into questions such as: how to assess the costs and benefits of digitalization in electricity distribution grids? What are the barriers hindering digitalization? How to apply modeling tools to assess the complexity of digitalization in energy? How these tools can enable both qualitative and quantitative analyses? I'm thrilled to co-present with Roberto Monaco on System Dynamics in Energy Digitalization: Enhancing Decision-Making and Regulatory Analysis. 📍 Location: In person at the University of Salento, Lecce (Italy) or online via Teams. 💻 Online link: https://lnkd.in/gXVgWuSb Meeting ID: 354 118 288 744 Passcode: SkSXms Looking forward to a great discussion! ⚡ #Digitalization #EnergySystems #SystemDynamics #InnoCyPES #PhDSummerSchool

Within the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe 'Digitalization in Energy' Task Force, one of our main focuses has been on monitoring emerging trends that drive innovation in the energy sector. In the study 'The Twin Transition in Non-Electricity Sectors' (https://lnkd.in/gsHb-XjE), I have been delighted to collaborate on expanding our perspectives and uncovering synergies, particularly in exploring how digitalization can benefit energy sectors beyond electricity, including the Oil & Gas and Heating & Cooling sectors. I am looking forward to presenting the main highlights of the paper during the 2024 UNECE Sustainable Energy Week in Geneva, 16-20 September! Special thanks to Andrei Covatariu, the leader of this study, for this exceptional initiative. Additional thanks to DTU Wind and Energy Systems and InnoCyPES for all the support! #energytransition #twintransition #energydigitalization #oil #naturalgas
