International Workshop DynPOWER

5th edition of the International Workshop DynPOWER 2021

On September 13^th, the DynPOWER workshop took place for the fifth time, and once again in virtual mode, with more than 450 registrations from 62 different countries. The workshop was divided into two sessions discussing different topics related to the challenges of integrating large amounts of renewable energy sources.

We had 9 guest speakers who are experts in different fields. The presentations were complemented by two panel discussions, where participants had the opportunity to interact directly with the invited speakers. On behalf of the organising committee, we would like to thank the invited speakers for sharing their experience and time to this event, as well as all the participants who attended the event and triggered many fruitful discussions.

Call for speakers DynPOWER 2022

The current uncertainty caused by COVID-19 makes it difficult to know in advance whether future events can take place in presence or whether we should continue to meet virtually. What is certain, however, is that we will not stop working and sharing our findings.

For this reason, we would like to give you the opportunity to become one of the speakers at DynPOWER 2022, share your latest results with us and show us how you are solving the challenges to ensure a secure and reliable energy supply. We are looking for presentations with demonstration cases and high application content, without neglecting the innovative methodological part.

If you are willing to give an online presentation to our international audience, please download the guide and send us your application by 17^th December 2021.

Co-organiser Rafael Segundo on the fifth edition of DynPOWER: "The response clearly exceeded our expectations"

At the fifth edition of DynPOWER, 454 interested people from 62 countries were present as experts from all over the world presented their latest findings on the stability of power grids. Compared to the previous year, this represents an increase of almost 70 percent. In an interview, co-organiser Rafael Segundo explains the success.

Over 400 registrations from all over the world: How did the workshop go under these challenging conditions?

Rafael Segundo: We had a constantly high number of live participants throughout the event. Nevertheless, everything went smoothly and without any technical problems. The presentations triggered many follow-up questions and constructive debates allowed for additional knowledge sharing among the participants.

You were surprised by the response to the workshop. Why?

Our goal was to match last year's registration numbers – the actual response clearly exceeded our expectations. Apparently, DynPOWER has become an event that is known by many people from all over the world.

How do you explain this success?

I see three reasons. First, the last edition of DynPOWER helped to make the event more popular. Secondly, the new structure with two presentation blocks and panel sessions in between has made the DynPOWER workshop even more attractive. And thirdly, the international reputation of the speakers aroused the interest of many participants.

So nothing stands in the way of a sixth edition.

No, and we already have many ideas. We would like to set up a hybrid event with on-site lectures, recorded video presentations and online live events. We have also launched a call for interesting topics and researchers. Potential speakers can nominate themselves via an online form.
