Summary of a Virtual Workshop on Integrated Planning: Ensuring Stability in Modern Power Systems

This virtual workshop was held on September 15 and 16, 2025, with 230 participants from 21 countries and regions including Africa, South America, Australia/New Zealand, East and South Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean.

This workshop was the fourth in the series, following three Integrated System Planning Workshops that took place between October 2024 and April 2025. The three previous workshops focused on key concepts for successful integrated planning from the perspective of different industry stakeholders including capacity expansion and the emerging arsenal of tools and techniques that support the necessary spectrum of analyses. This workshop expanded on these topics by providing technical details on planning power systems with high levels of inverter-based resources including fundamentals for power system dynamics, power system voltage and frequency stability, modeling and studying in the new paradigm, and what system conditions can be studied and with which tools. Recordings and workshop materials for this workshop as well as the previous workshops can be found on the Integrated Planning Forum web page.
