Episode notes
Global Renewable Simulation Standard
- China led a four-year international effort to create a universal simulation model for renewable generators.
- The standard gives manufacturers, software developers and grid operators a single language to assess dynamic stability.
Standard Enables Plug‑And‑Play Integration
- Hosts likened the standard to USB: a single protocol that makes devices interoperable.
- A universal model prevents technical 'translations' and speeds safe grid connections worldwide.
Renewables Make Simulation Critical
- Growing wind and solar shares make grid behavior less predictable compared with steady fossil generators.
- Accurate dynamic simulation becomes essential to prevent blackouts and protect industry and households.
