Power system modeling and simulation approaches include quasi-static 8760 analysis, EMT studies, fault classification, and inverter-based resource grid integration. Attendees will learn to build power system networks programmatically, explore simulation workflows, perform comprehensive fault studies and machine-learning classification, and simulate grid integration of inverter-based resources. The webinar covers multiple timescales and engineering objectives.
New Zealand's grid operator Transpower predicts an emerging energy gap in the early 2030s due to growing electricity demand, despite committed investments. The country's efficient hydro and geothermal energy mix can meet short-term winter energy needs, but risks of delays or changes in renewable output could jeopardize this balance. To mitigate these risks, continued investment into new generation and battery storage systems is necessary until the 2030s.
India's renewable power generation rose by a record 98 TWh (+24%) in 2025, driven by strong growth in solar and wind. As a result, India's fossil power generation fell by 3.3%. Solar power growth alone met the country's electricity demand increase in 2025.
Australia's Energy Market Commission aims to reduce rooftop solar curtailment by introducing a new distribution planning framework and enhanced data reporting. The proposed changes include a 20-year distribution network plan published every five years and concise annual updates from service providers. This will provide clearer data on how rooftop solar, batteries, and electric vehicles are being used, enabling better planning and reduced curtailment of solar energy.
Noon Energy is partnering with Meta to develop up to 1 gigawatt of ultra-long duration energy storage using reversible solid oxide fuel cell technology. The system can store energy for over 100 hours and aims to achieve a cost of under $20 per kilowatt-hour, making it a promising solution for data centers and microgrids. By leveraging carbon-based storage media and avoiding scarce minerals like cobalt or nickel, the technology offers a flexible and scalable approach to grid-scale energy storage.
Enagás Corporate University hosted a roundtable on energy transition training to address the skills gap in hydrogen technology, with over 50 years of gas expertise being repurposed for building out hydrogen infrastructure. The lack of technicians, engineers, and specialists in hydrogen tech is a major roadblock to Europe's carbon neutrality goals. Without well-trained experts, even ambitious zero-emission projects can fail.
Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies and ProtonH2 collaborate to deliver modular, dispatchable electricity from hydrogen fuel cells powered by hydrogen production at revamped oil and gas sites, aiming to power AI data centers with zero-emission electricity. The partnership brings together Horizon's proven proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell technology and ProtonH2's ability to transform stranded hydrocarbon assets into low-carbon hydrogen production hubs. This collaboration enables a neat workaround for powering AI facilities without grid upgrades or peak-load headaches.
Grid modernization is hindered by existing data gaps, but efforts are underway to close these gaps and leverage data for a more efficient and resilient grid. Utilities are prioritizing data collection and analysis to improve situational awareness and inform smart grid decision-making. By addressing data constraints, utilities can unlock the full potential of grid modernization.
Hydrovia Energy plans to roll out over 500 hydrogen stations along three major east-west corridors in the US, with a focus on Class 8 haulers and big commercial fleets, in an effort to boost confidence and fast-track hydrogen infrastructure growth. The company has also launched H₂Ai, a round-the-clock AI-powered tool that taps into more than 36 expert frameworks, providing digital support for heavy-duty operators. Hydrovia Energy aims to create a seamless chain of hydrogen infrastructure that mirrors today's diesel networks, addressing range anxiety as a major hurdle for fuel cell technology-powered rigs.
The Land and Environment Court of New South Wales has amended the consent for Hydrostor's 1.6GWh long-duration energy storage project following an appeal, upholding a challenge to the original approval. The court's decision is related to the project's A-CAES technology.
