Why this conversation
The grid is changing faster than the tools we plan it with.
Pioneer will be hosting the Edge of Grid Stability, a panel event aimed at sharing cutting-edge thinking in dynamic stability, FACTS devices and powering data centers — as well as comprehensive system analysis — required to reshape the renewables- and data center-forward grid of 2035.
The discussion will bring together system planning, design, and procurement SMEs from a major utility, power engineering leaders, and one of the major OEMs — the people actually doing this work — to discuss the latest innovations emerging on the global stage.
