DynPOWER 2026
Celebrating 10 Years of International Collaboration
The 10th edition of the International Workshop on Dynamic Stability Challenges of Future Power Grids DynPOWER took place successfully at the Casinotheater Winterthur, Switzerland, bringing together experts from academia, industry and power system operators for a full day of technical exchange and discussion.
Held in hybrid format, DynPOWER 2026 once again connected the international power systems community both in Winterthur and online. The anniversary edition provided an opportunity not only to discuss current and emerging challenges in power system dynamics, stability and control, but also to celebrate ten years of collaboration and knowledge exchange since the first DynPOWER workshop in 2017.
DynPOWER 2026 at a glance
In this edition, we received 418 registered participants from 59 countries. Participation spans all regions of the world, with Nepal, Switzerland, Mexico, India and Italy among the most represented countries. Asia and Europe account for the largest shares, highlighting DynPOWER’s strong and growing global reach.
Impressions
Around 40 participants joined us in person at the Casinotheater Winterthur, with more than half travelling from abroad, reflecting the truly international character of DynPOWER.
