We are thrilled to announce that EPRA Energy is qualified by the @Masdar Azerbaijan Energy LLC (owned by Masdar (Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company) for the Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) & Frequency Control (FC) Analyses of the 230 MW Garadagh – Solar Power Plant in Azerbaijan.

The study, which will be performed with DIgSILENT PowerFactory, will investigate LVRT and FC capabilities of the SPP in terms of the Azerbaijan Grid Code and Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) of the plant.

Both LVRT and FC capabilities of the SPPs and Wind Power Plants (WPP) are getting more and more critical for the security and reliability of both renewable power plants and the power grids along with the increase in the penetration level of the SPPs and WPPs.

We are happy to support secure and reliable transition of the Azerbaijan power grid through advanced modeling and analyses in the scope of integration of renewables and battery storage systems (BESS).

We are thrilled to announce our new project “Grid Code Compliance Analysis 240 MW Khizi – Absheron Wind Power Project” with IMA ENERGY in Azerbaijan. Grid code compliance studies include:

  • Reactive Power Compliance Assessment
  • Low-Voltage-Ride-Through (LVRT) Assessment
  • Evaluation of active power control
  • Evaluation of frequency control
  • Power Quality measurements

Grid code compliance of renewables is important for the secure and reliable transition of power grids. We are happy to contribute such a transition of the Azerbaijan power system.

We would like to announce that EPRA Energy and OPAL-RT TECHNOLOGIES will be the Gold Sponsors of the CPEPowerEng 19th International Conference on Compatibility, Power Electronics and Power Engineering, a flagship conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES), which will be organized in Antalya Türkiye on 20-22 May 2025.

Our CEO Dr. Osman Bülent Tör will make a keynote speech at the conference with the title of “Power Grids Hosting Ambitious Renewable Generation Sources – Challenges and Solutions”.

Thanks to Naki Güler for inviting us this important event which is a great opportunity for engaging in inspiring technical state-of-the-art discussions in the power sector during the day and unwinding by the beach of Antalya in the evening!

Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department of Sivas Cumhuriyet University is now among the universities with DIgSILENT PowerFactory software license.

We are thrilled to announce the successful synchronization of the Baltic electricity system with the Continental Europe Synchronous Area (CESA).
As of 9 February 2025, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have permanently disconnected from the Russian and Belarusian grids, reinforcing regional energy security and European integration as announced by ENTSO-E.
As EPRA Energy we are happy to contribute this success by giving technical support to Litgrid since the pandemic period via on site visits to major power plants in Lithuania for dynamic modelling and stability analysis of the power grid, parameter tuning of AVR & PSS of major power plants to improve stability of the grid, teleconferences to discuss study results, island operation tests, and so on.

We are thrilled to announce our new project “Azerbaijan Energy Transition – Phase II”. The project is the follow up of our previous project with AzerEnerji which was satisfactorily completed by the end of 2024.
In Phase II, operational aspects of the Azerbaijan power grid under integration of large-scale renewable energy sources (RES) will be addressed. This will incorporate capacity building of AzerEnergy staff and implementation of advanced solutions for secure and smooth adoption of RES into the Azerbaijan grid

Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department of Samsun University is now among the universities with DIgSILENT PowerFactory software…

Our script algorithm which automatically integrates network investments planned in b-PRO software into the DIgSILENT PowerFactory network model, is now ready with its first user YEDAŞ – Yeşilırmak Elektrik Dağıtım A.Ş.

Adm Elektrik (DisCO) is now among the distribution companies which has an EP-OTD algorithm license developed by our team.

EP-OTD algorithm allows distribution companies to quickly analyze maneuvering alternatives in hashtag#DIgSILENT hashtag#PowerFactory model of the grid.

We performed ancillary service certification tests of the major power plants in Moldova satisfactorily in the scope of “Moldova Energy Security Activity (MESA) Project” with Tetra Tech.
Ancillary service performance of the power plants (Termoelectrica, Moldavskaya GRES, and CET-Nord) in terms of FCR, aFRR, mFRR, and RR are assessed with the representatives of the Moldova TSO, SE Moldelectrica.
