Super-Smart Grid Workshop: Superconductivity and Smart Grids for Power System Transformation

The International Energy Agency (IEA) High Temperature Superconductivity (HTS) TCP and the International Smart Grid Action Network (ISGAN) TCP are pleased to invite you to a joint event exploring how smart grid approaches and superconducting technologies can jointly contribute to power systems transformation. The workshop will take place online on 21 April 2026, from 13:00 […]

Capacity Mechanisms

In recent years, the electricity market has experienced strong fluctuations and frequent market interventions (e.g., windfall profit taxes in Austria, Germany, Italy, and Spain, or the introduction of electricity price caps), which can significantly affect the security of supply. In addition, high shares of renewable energy sources (RES), driven by support mechanisms, have led to […]

Webinar: Grid-Forming Units and their Impact on the Power System

As power systems transition to high shares of inverter-based resources, grid-forming (GFM) technology is emerging as a critical enabler of stability and resilience. Unlike conventional grid-following inverters, GFM converters actively shape voltage and frequency, providing the synthetic inertia and damping that modern grids increasingly require. This webinar brings together leading researchers from across Europe to […]

Hydrogen sector impact on power grid: production/storage/transport

The planning and operation of the power system will be affected substantially by the development of the hydrogen sector, mainly due to the electrification of hydrogen production. This work explores the impact of the integration of the hydrogen sector on the power sector in three dimensions: power grid planning; power system development; and power grid […]

31st Executive Committee Meeting

The 31st meeting of the ISGAN Executive Committee (ExCo31), which took place from 17 to 19 March 2026, brought together over 30 delegates from 17 member countries and the European Commission for three days of strategic discussions, knowledge exchange, and technical dialogue. Hosted by Ricerca sul Sistema Energetico (RSE) in Rome, Italy, the meeting reinforced […]

WG 6 Contributions Featured in IEEE Power & Energy Magazine

The March edition of IEEE Power & Energy Magazine, titled “Flexibility for Resilience,” features contributions from several experts active in ISGAN Working Group 6. The articles reflect WG6’s recent activity on flexibility for resilience and highlight the growing importance of flexibility as a foundation for secure and reliable power system operation. Flexibility as a Solution: […]

ISGAN WEBINAR – GDBN: A Digital Grid Data and Business Network to support the Flexibility-Centric Energy Value Chain

GDBN dashboard GDBN: A Digital Grid Data and Business Network to support the Flexibility-Centric Energy Value Chain The increasing dependency from digital tools in the energy area in pushing for key digital coordination platforms to control, oversight and coordinate processes, removing adoption barriers and increasing interoperability. This is the case for the energy flexibility value-chain. […]

Concepts of flexibility provision by local resources

Electrification of energy demand (particularly in heating and mobility) alongside the rapid proliferation of distributed generation (especially rooftop PV) is presenting significant challenges to distribution system operators (DSOs). Most distribution grids were not typically designed to accommodate the increased, and especially the bidirectional, power flows. To reduce the need for costly and extensive network extensions […]

Upcoming 31st Executive Committee Meeting

The 31st meeting of the ISGAN Executive Committee (ExCo31), hosted by Ricerca sul Sistema Energetico (RSE), will take place in Rome, Italy, from March 17 to 19, 2026. In conjunction with ExCo31, ISGAN will organize two on-site side workshops addressing key topics for the clean energy transition and smart grid development. These workshops will bring […]

Flexibility acquisition mechanism designs

This report has been developed within the framework of international collaboration between ISGAN, BRIDGE, and the European Commission’s BeFlexible project. It reflects the joint efforts of project partners to analyse how different acquisition mechanisms, such as network tariffs, flexible connection agreements, and local flexibility markets, can support DSOs in addressing network needs. The results presented […]
