Unlocking renewable energy for tomorrow’s grids

As the world moves toward a low-carbon future, integrating large volumes of renewable energy is creating new challenges for power grids everywhere. Reduced damping, lower inertia, and voltage recovery issues can disrupt grid stability, but they also create opportunities to rethink and innovate how we deliver energy.

At CIGRE Sweden’s Annual Conference 2026, AFRY will share insights from a national grid study focused on enabling reliable integration of renewable energy ahead of 2030.

Join Session 2B – Power System Technical Performance to hear “Application of Grid-Enhancing Technologies for Stability Improvement in Low-Inertia Power Systems: A Case Study from Egypt,” presented by our expert Mustafa Ibrahim.

What you'll learn

  • A tested and flexible approach: Actionable strategies for grid operators navigating high renewable integration and the demands of low-inertia systems
  • Key challenges addressed: Steady-state modeling, voltage stability, short-circuit management, and performance under critical contingencies
  • Real-world solutions: How GRID-Enhancing Technologies (GETs), such as FACTS devices and large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), restore dynamic stability, without increasing short-circuit levels
  • Scalable impact: Ideas and strategies for operators worldwide who are part of the transition to low-carbon power systems
