100% Converter-Based Grids
• No conventional synchronous generation
• What is meant by system frequency?
• Achieving load balancing with ‘local’ controls?
• Operational rules in a ‘100%’ state?
• Requirement for (new) system services?
• …
• Achievable without ‘smart grid’ communications?

Future Plans …
• Power system stability assessment• New technical challenges?
• Robustness to system splits + Blackstart capability
• …
• Transitions between ‘100%’ state or ‘<100%’ state
• Definition of (new & existing) system services?
• Migration path from current to new ‘controls’?
• Equipment requirements and grid code updates?
• …• Telecommunication infrastructure?
