Abstract

The urgent need for a significant reduction of greenhouse emissions (around 50% by 2030 and net zero by 2050) is driving an acceleration of major technological upgrades in electrical power systems. This is gradually translating into new architectures of transmission and distribution networks. Ideally, the upgraded networks enable the technoeconomic, reliable, and environmentally friendly deployment of a high share of emerging technologies, primarily based on power electronic converters. Such major upgrades occur in renewable power generation, responsive demand (including data centers and electrolysis plants), electrical and nonelectrical energy conversion and storage, and flexible compensation devices.
