The Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Energy (WISE) of the University of Waterloo organized the 11th Bulk Power Systems Dynamics and Control Symposium – IREP’2022 in Banff
The series of Bulk Power Systems Dynamics and Control Symposia was established by Les Fink in 1988 and is managed since 1994 by the International Institute of Research and Education in Power System Dynamics (IREP). IREP’2022 continued the outstanding and proud tradition, albeit delayed by the unfortunate and challenging world health crisis of 2020/2021, of previous and truly special meetings at Potosi (1988), Deep Creek Lake (1991), Davos (1994), Santorini (1998), Onomichi (2001), Cortina D´Ampezzo (2004), Charleston (2007), Buzios (2010), Rethymnon (2013), and Espinho (2017).
The attendees to IREP’2022 who came from all over the world had the opportunity to share their research work with a prominent technical audience, providing a venue for friendly and in-depth technical discussions of the presented work, which is a very unique characteristic and tradition of IREP symposia. The timely and relevant theme of the Banff Symposium was “A 100% Renewable Energy Source Bulk Power Grid: Opportunities and Challenges.” As with previous meetings and as part of IREP’s custom, there were also many opportunities for distinctive social engagements and interactions amidst the exceptional and beautiful settings of the Canadian Rockies.
