Since its launch in 2021, the Global Power System Transformation Consortium (G-PST) has hosted hundreds of technical events and activities, helping system operators, industry leaders, researchers, and decision-makers from over 136 countries advance power system transformation. Nearly two-thirds of global power system operators have benefited from technical exchanges, training, and the deployment of cutting-edge tools and solutions in control rooms.
G-PST connects system operators with key technical innovation partners in industry and research. Many of core system operator members report that their participation has directly improved their ability to maintain stable, reliable, and affordable power systems.
By sharing experiences and tackling challenges together, G-PST accelerates the development and deployment of solutions that benefit system operators, manufacturers, and the broader industry. Experts from national laboratories, research institutions, and leading technology companies, including battery manufacturers and project developers, are using state-of-the-art data, tools, and methodologies to drive progress in power system transformation.
Explore G-PST’s impact through our accomplishments brochure, informational videos, and insights from partners featured in the rotating testimonials below.
I joined this mentorship program to position myself as a thought leader in the power industry.
Women are powerful agents of change and bring a unique view to the many dimensions of scientific, technical, social, economic and political issues of climate change and decarbonization strategies.
Sustainable global energy access requires inclusivity, and with women accounting for at least half the global population, it is a socioeconomic and environmental imperative to leverage women’s contribution in transitioning our power systems.
Sulawesi, Indonesia forecasts a huge uptick in near-term demand that will primarily be met with new renewables. We broadcast G-PST’s webinars to pertinent PLN staff to see innovative and modern ways global utilities are embarking on higher penetrations of variable renewable energy.
I joined the Women in PST and GWNET Mentoring Program to gain more knowledge and experience in the energy sector. I believe that this is crucial for my active involvement in the reconstruction of my native Ukraine. The energy sector in Ukraine requires significant upgrades and reconstruction to enhance its resilience, and I am eager to contribute to this important initiative.
