Webinar: Grid Forming E-STATCOM

11 February @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm EST

Electricity transmission towers

Presented by: Sergey Kynev, Siemens Energy

This webinar:
The E-STATCOM (Enhanced Static Synchronous Compensator) is introduced as a cutting-edge solution leveraging grid-forming (GFM) technology. We will explore its technology overview, control structure, and methods to measure its grid-forming capabilities. Rather than merely stating whether a device is GFM, we will quantify its benefits through metrics such as inertia and short circuit power. The webinar will also present comparative plots illustrating the performance differences between GFM and grid-following systems. By the end, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how E-STATCOM can significantly improve grid resilience and reliability, making it a pivotal component in modern power systems.

Presenter bio:
Sergey Kynev received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Power Transmission Systems from St. Petersburg Polytechnical University, Russia, in 2008 and 2010, respectively. He joined Siemens Germany in 2011 as a System Engineer and later became a Lead Engineer at Siemens Energy in Raleigh, NC, focusing on grid stability, renewable integration, and advanced power electronics, contributing actively to IEEE and driving innovation in the energy sector.
