This session will feature insights into how the MEA region’s energy landscape is rapidly transforming through decarbonization, electrification, and digitalization. With renewable integration, EVs, green hydrogen, and AI-powered data centers reshaping demand and supply, the traditional grid is evolving into an intelligent, flexible network. Experts will explore the challenges of maintaining system inertia, voltage and frequency stability, and overall resilience. The discussion will highlight how future grids can deliver sustainability, reliability, and adaptability in this dynamic environment.

Key topics covered:

• STATCOMs for voltage stability and power quality, with potential upgrade to Enhanced STATCOMs using supercapacitors.

• Hybrid systems for adaptive and intelligent grid configurations.

• Solutions for grid interties and frequency synchronization in hydro and railway systems.

• Modularization and standardization for rapid deployment and scalability.

• Managing new loads and distributed generation while ensuring grid resilience.

This session aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how the energy sector can navigate the complexities of sustainability and make informed decisions to foster a greener future
