Integrating power electronics into weak grids poses unique challenges, including voltage stability issues, control interactions, and reduced grid inertia. This presentation will outline the defining characteristics of weak grids, explore grid-forming converter technologies as a solution to improve stability and control, and share practical insights from Australia’s Broken Hill project, which demonstrates the application of grid-forming converters under real-world conditions. Key takeaways from this webinar -Weak grids create challenges for the connection of renewables -Grid-forming solutions provide an effective alternative for power electronics control in weak grids -Key solutions finding their way in networks around the world, including Australia Presenter Dr. Georgios Konstantinou Georgios Konstantinou is an Associate Professor at the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications, UNSW Sydney, specializing in power electronics and their integration into modern power systems. His research focuses on multilevel converters, HVDC/MVDC systems, renewable energy integration, real-time digital simulations, and digital twins in power engineering. He currently leads the Real-Time Digital Simulations (RTS@UNSW) Laboratory and is an ARC Future Fellow. __ The Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) is one of the only institutes in the world specializing in Engineering.
