Abstract: The energy transformation is bringing more and more power electronics into the power system. As result, we are moving from a classical electromechanical system to a fully electronic driven system. This change is significantly affecting the dynamics of the power system but also opening completely new opportunities. The presentation will discuss challenges and opportunities opened by this transformation. The main conclusion is that it is more an opportunity than a problem even if a lot of research is still needed to reach the definition of a full concept of automation for future power systems. At the same time, thanks to the experience earned in several projects, interesting options are emerging showing how the future power electronics-based power system could be actually more reliable than the classical power system.
