Is grid forming just a technical concept—or could it be the key to preventing future blackouts like the one in Spain?
In a rapidly electrifying energy system, where decentralised renewables and converter-based assets are becoming the norm, traditional “grid-following” is no longer enough. Tomorrow’s grid must be stable, secure, and smart—starting with grid-forming technologies that actively shape the system.
Join KBVE-SRBE for a half-day of expert insights, real-world project cases, and strategic discussion on how we prepare our grids for the widespread deployment of renewables, converters and grid-forming.
What to expect?
