Continuously evolving grid codes and an increasing complexity of international standards for grid connectivity are bringing a portfolio of emerging challenges to performance validation and certification of smart inverters. This Symposium focuses on new technology-enabled solutions for inverter dynamic performance testing, protection, in-house product pre-certification, control software FW versioning and fulfilling the demands of the emerging cyber-physical grid.
The participants, will get exclusive insights into the latest technology developments that are completely automating grid code compliance testing,certification processes for future smart inverters.
This Symposium counts on the participation on all the actors involved in this area: Utilities, Converter manufacturers, Certification Labs, Plants Stakeholders and Research Centers, constituting thus a great networking and open discussion Platform.
