Pillar 1 – System Operator Research & Peer Learning

Representatives from leading technical institutes and system operators worldwide have developed a research agenda focused on the near-term priorities of power system operators. This research aims to help operators reliably and cost-effectively integrate high levels of inverter-based resources (IBRs) over the next decade. Findings are shared globally to support system operators everywhere.
Pillar 1 research is guided by the Research Group, which brings together system operators and researchers to address key challenges. An Innovation Group, made up of Pillar leads and members from implementation councils and task forces, also contributes to research, development, and outreach efforts. These groups include system operators, energy companies, developers, manufacturers, universities, national labs, and consultants, ensuring a diverse and collaborative approach.
