Join G-PST, the US-ASEAN Climate Solutions Hub, and Vietnam’s National Power System and Market Operator Company (NSMO) on December 4 from 8:00-9:00 AM Vietnam time (GMT +7) for a webinar on "Renewable Forecasting in Vietnam: Driving Efficiency and Reliability in a Dynamic Power System." Tune in as we explore the critical role of renewable energy forecasting in advancing Vietnam’s power infrastructure and supporting its sustainable energy goals. Event Overview: This session will delve into the transformative potential of renewable energy forecasting in Vietnam’s evolving power system. With the rapid integration of large-scale solar, rooftop PV, and wind power, accurate forecasting is essential to balance the variability of these resources. Key topics include: ?? Advancements in Forecasting Technology: Leveraging AI and machine learning to enhance forecast precision for solar and wind energy. ??? Real-Time Monitoring with Satellite Imagery: Innovations in rooftop PV forecasting and performance monitoring. ?? Data-Driven Grid Operations: How data models and monitoring systems enable effective grid management and renewable integration. Event Details: ?? Date: December 4 ?? Time: 8-9am Vietnam time (GMT +7) ?? Registration Link: https://bit.ly/3O5LDc4 Don’t miss this opportunity to gain insights into Vietnam’s pathway to a resilient and sustainable energy future.?

In our latest video, hear from some of our core team and system operator partners about how the G-PST Consortium's unique network connects expertise across borders, fuels innovation, and drives collaboration to tackle power system challenges at all scales. ???

Colombia’s energy transition just reached an important milestone. With XM SA ESP, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and EPRI, we’re excited to introduce a framework for Colombia’s "Control Room of the Future", designed to support resilient, reliable, and clean power system operations. This vision, along with a soon-to-launch online tool, empowers operators to assess and elevate their control room capabilities. Explore the blog from our Pillar 2 lead, Lina Ramirez, for a closer look at the pillars informing Colombia’s energy future!

?? Australia’s government is committed to expanding cooperation with SE Asia in promoting quality infrastructure to drive sustainable, inclusive, and resilient growth. Toward this goal, CSIRO & Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade hosted a workshop in October with a focus on managing electricity systems with increasing levels of renewable energy.? The event brought together major organizations, universities, and 25 representatives from four SE?Asian nations to share experiences, plans, and challenges in renewable energy integration. G-PST research was a key theme in the discussion of supporting the global transition to resilient, net-zero energy systems.

Thanks Grid Forward for hosting a fantastic conference in Banff, Alberta, earlier this month. Bethany Frew, an electricity markets expert at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, represented G-PST at the event, sharing insights on our efforts to accelerate the transition to 100% zero-carbon grids. Bethany’s presentation highlighted successes across G-PST’s five pillars and demonstrated the importance of collaborative, holistic approaches in driving long-term changes and real-world implementation. The conference provided an excellent platform to engage with partners like the Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA) Electricity Transition Hub, alongside system operators, industry leaders, and other energy transition initiatives. Thanks again for the opportunity to showcase our work and share lessons learned with such a dedicated and inspiring community! #GridFWD #GridFWD24

It’s always inspiring to see G-PST leaders sharing their insights on the global stage! From October 8-11, Hannele Holttinen, Mark O'Malley, and Julia Matevosyan joined other international experts at the 23rd Wind and Solar Integration Workshop in Helsinki, Finland, to discuss cutting-edge solutions for integrating variable renewable energy (VRE) into the power grid. A few key topics from the conference included: ? Grid-forming technologies and grid stability studies ? New research on hydrogen and electrolyzer integration ? Oscillations in renewable-rich grids (Mark O'Malley) ? Exploration of grid-forming technologies (Julia Matevosyan) ? IEA Wind Task 25’s latest recommended practices for wind/PV integration studies This important work continues to push the boundaries of grid transformation and accelerate the clean energy transition. ??? #GIW24

We are honored that Barbara O'Neill, representing G-PST, delivered a keynote address at the ASEAN Centre for Energy Power System Operators workshop in Manila this August. Her presentation provided valuable insights into global best practices for integrating variable renewable energy into grid operations. Additionally, John Ward, Research Director of Energy Systems at CSIRO and also representing G-PST, kicked off a Community of Practice session with a presentation about leveraging aggregated distributed energy resources (DER) for system flexibility at local and bulk power levels. There was much to learn from our partners and colleagues across Southeast Asia and beyond. Thank you ASEAN Centre for Energy for organizing such a professional and impactful event. We look forward to seeing how these discussions will shape the future of power system operations in the region!
