Register now: February workshop on reactive power and voltage coordination

The Electricity Authority Te Mana Hiko invites technical specialists working in transmission and distribution network operations and planning to a workshop in February. The focus is on managing reactive power flows and voltage coordination across grid exit points.

This is an opportunity to collaborate on technical challenges and share ideas on how we could improve voltage quality and coordination between New Zealand’s transmission and distribution networks.

We welcome up to 25 people to attend in person in Wellington. There will also be the option to join online.

This workshop is a part of our Review of common quality requirements in Part 8 of the Code project. This project sits under the Electricity Authority’s Future Security & Resilience work programme, which aims to ensure New Zealand’s power system remains secure and resilient as the economy electrifies and the generation mix changes.

It is also relevant to our Future System Operation project, which is considering how the operation of the power system needs to evolve to support an increasingly complex system.
