of autonomous, plug-and-play-type systems with minimal coordination in their power flow and energy management was foreseen.
The session concluded with a positive outlook of the
ongoing changes that are currently transforming the grid
and its capabilities. The attendees also acknowledged
the multiple opportunities in new emerging regions to
develop new power networks virtually from scratch,
where the role of power electronics would be preponderant from the beginning.
