SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, is pleased to host a live webinar, ‘Global Grid Code Solutions for Power Conversion Systems and Power Plants,’ on July 7, 2026.
As electrical grids evolve to accommodate higher shares of renewable energy, grid operators are introducing increasingly complex requirements to ensure system stability and reliability. Power conversion systems (PCS) and power plants must now meet advanced performance criteria, including voltage and frequency control, Fault Ride-Through (FRT) and emerging grid-forming (GFM) capabilities.
At the same time, grid codes across Europe, North America and other global markets continue to diverge, creating a fragmented regulatory landscape. This presents significant challenges for manufacturers and developers, including duplicated testing, increased certification costs and extended time to market. Staying aligned with these evolving requirements is critical to ensuring successful project deployment and access to international markets.
In this webinar, SGS experts Omar Kalim and Roger Hu will provide a comprehensive overview of global grid code frameworks, covering key requirements across major markets and the latest technical developments. They will also demonstrate how an integrated approach combining testing, simulation and certification can streamline compliance, reduce project risk and accelerate time to market.
The session will explore topics such as international grid compliance, model validation, power plant simulation and future trends, including the transition toward GFM technologies. It is aimed at energy sector professionals, including compliance managers, electrical engineers and project developers, as well as PCS manufacturers and independent power producers operating in highly regulated markets.
