The University of Strathclyde will host the 3rd International Summer School on IBR‑Dominated Power Systems, taking place 31 August – 4 September 2026.

Building on the success of previous editions at Imperial College London (2024) and Tsinghua University (2025), this year’s summer school will once again bring together a global community of researchers and industry professionals working at the forefront of inverter‑based resource (IBR) integration.

Participants will learn directly from 30 leading experts representing top institutions such as University of Cambridge, Nanyang Technological University, University of Edinburgh, Seoul National University, University of Melbourne, National Technical University of Athens …and many more.

We are pleased to highlight that Professor Qiteng Hong (University of Strathclyde), Co‑I for WP2 Electrical Network Sub Digital Twin of the ENSIGN – IES-DT project, will deliver a specialist session on: IBR Fault Ride‑Through, Protection Impacts and Practical Solutions.

By the end of the programme, attendees will have developed a deep and holistic understanding of the behaviour, stability and operational challenges of IBR‑dominated power systems—equipping them with a strong foundation for future research and professional practice in this rapidly evolving field.

The summer school will explore key technical areas, including:

  • Modelling and control of IBRs and IBR‑dominated systems
  • System stability and advanced analysis techniques
  • Fault ride‑through, protection impacts, and mitigation strategies
  • Reliability, security and resilience in modern power systems
  • Data‑driven and AI‑enabled applications
  • Distribution networks with high IBR penetration
  • Optimisation tools and economic assessment

Applications Now Open!
The deadline to apply is 30 April 2026.
