Grids & Energy Systems

As the climate change increases weather variability and chances for extreme events to happen, a climate resilient planning and operating processes for the electricity grid is necessary. This includes understanding how the electricity system might be sensitive to weather, as well as what adaptation solutions must be implemented to increase the grid resilience.

This factsheet summarises key elements of discussions held during RGI’s Modellers’ Exchange Workshop organised in September 2022 in collaboration with Hitachi Energy. It includes tools, challenges and solutions to be considered when building the electricity grid of the future.
