Stability in transition: Solving the low-inertia challenge in the GB grid

Join us on 24 June 2026 for a seminar addressing the reduction of inertia levels in the UK, as well as the variability of short-circuit levels.

DNV, in collaboration with the IEEE Power & Energy Society, is hosting a seminar on evolving stability challenges in Great Britain’s power system, focusing on reduced system inertia and variability in short-circuit levels.

The event will examine how rising levels of inverter-based renewable generation are reshaping the network, with network operators and utilities sharing insights on current conditions, mitigation strategies, and future initiatives. It will also address emerging pressures, including increasing demand from large-scale data centres.

The programme includes a talk on NESO’s future approach to stability and insights from Imperial College on stability-constrained optimisation for IBR-dominated grids. DNV will lead a discussion on technologies addressing these challenges, covering synchronous condensers and grid-forming controls across HVDC, battery energy storage, wind generation, and E-STATCOMs, with case studies including Zenobē’s Blackhillock project and German grid code developments.
