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.

We performed very productive and pleasant trainings with Çoruh Elektrik Dağıtım A.Ş. grid planning engineers in our Ankara Office in the scope of our “Implementation Oriented Special DIgSILENT PowerFactory Training Program” which is provided by our experts for the special needs of institutions.

Content of the training is determined based on specific needs of Çoruh Elektrik Dağıtım A.Ş. with an emphasis on “Advanced grid analysis with hashtag#DIgSILENT hashtag#PowerFactory in the scope of distribution grid master plan”;

• Definition of network investment alternatives as network variations
• Impact analyses of grid investment alternatives in terms of grid performance indices
• Metropolitan distribution MV network contingency analyses (N-1 alternative feeding)
• Optimization of tie open point positions at metropolitan distribution MV network

Did you know that supercapacitors are an electrical energy storage technology that, in its most basic definition, stores energy in the form of an electrostatic field enabling;

• Usage of the full capacity of the battery from 0% to 100%,
• Charging & discharging up to 4 times a day,
• Efficiency (AC-AC round-trip efficiency) is at the level of 95-97% ?

What about its feasibility at the Turkish Electricity Market?

We are thrilled to announce our new Project with Supracap; “Comparison of Supercapacitor & Li-Ion Technologies in Turkish Electricity Market” which will provide answers to this question.
Scope of the project includes comparison of two different storage technologies in terms of following business models: Ancillary service (frequency control), Management of imbalances of renewable generation sources (wind & PV solar), and Arbitrage in the power market.
