Limassol, Cyprus
June 2026
Power Systems Computation
More than 350 academics, researchers, students, and industry practitioners from 36 countries gathered in Limassol, Cyprus, from 8 to 12 June 2026 for the XXIV Power Systems Computation Conference (PSCC 2026), one of the world’s leading scientific gatherings dedicated to power systems computation.
Participants travelled from across the globe, including Switzerland, China, Australia, and the United States of America, to discuss the latest developments shaping the future of electric power systems. The conference was hosted by the University of Cyprus and Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) and took place in person at the luxurious St Raphael Resort and Marina.
The Power Systems Computation Conference addresses theoretical developments and computational aspects of electric power systems research, with applications ranging from micro-grids to mega-grids. There is an emphasis on modelling and simulation for understanding a system of components, power plants and distributed energy conversion resources, or actors, the interactions between them and their collective behaviour, and methods to inform decision-making in power systems.
Contributions focused on analytical techniques, modelling challenges, complex software engineering issues and experimental studies as well as analyses with respect to today’s and the future’s power system challenges. Papers from utility and manufacturing industry engineers were just as welcome as those from academic researchers.
Anjan Bose and Carlo Alberto Nucci chaired the PSCC Executive Board, while Louis Wehenkel and Florin Capitanescu led the 66-member Technical Program Committee responsible for developing the scientific programme.
The Local Organizing Committee was co-chaired by Matthaios Panteli and Petros Aristidou, who oversaw the successful delivery of an event that brought together experts from academia, industry, utilities, and technology providers.
Scientific Programme
The scientific programme covered a broad spectrum of topics through dedicated conference tracks, including Assessment of System Issues in the Presence of Uncertainty or Unbundling, Power System Modeling, Analysis, Operation and Control, Integrated Modelling and Operation of Information and Communication Technologies in Power Systems, and Data Analysis and Computation.
The conference featured five high-level tutorials, a panel session, and a round table discussion, along with a series of remarkable presentations.
• Modelling, Control, Stability Analysis and Simulation of Low-Inertia Power Systems – Introduction presented by Federico Milano and Mario Paolone
• Toward a Coherent Theory for Grid Forming Control Analysis presented by Xavier Guillaud
• Harmonic Stability Analysis of Power Grids Hosting Converter-Interfaced Resources presented by Mario Paolone
• A Broad Perspective on Converter Synchronization: From Stability Guarantees to Power Quality Issues, presented by Federico Cecati
• Complex Frequency, Local Synchronization and Transient Slack Capability presented by Federico Milano
• Insights from Practice: How to conduct large-scale dynamic simulations of low-inertia power systems? presented by Johanna Vorwerk
A panel session entitled Emerging Risks of Major Power System Supply Interruption Events: Needs for New Modelling and Analysis brought together Enrique Lobato Miguélez, Razvan Pabat-Stroe, Jean-Baptiste Heyberger, and Johanna Vorwerk to discuss the increasing complexity and resilience challenges of modern power grids.
The round table discussion, AI for Power, Power for AI: Opportunities and Challenges, featured Peter Palensky, Pascal Van Hentenryck, Vladimir Dvorkin, and Patrick Panciatici.
Selected contributions from PSCC 2026 will be published in a special issue of Electric Power Systems Research (EPSR), indexed by ScienceDirect, further extending the conference’s scientific impact and visibility within the international research community.
Social Programme
Outside the meeting rooms, participants enjoyed a vibrant social programme designed to encourage networking and strengthen professional relationships. The welcome reception took place in the gardens of the conference venue overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, where attendees enjoyed local drinks, canapés, and informal discussions in a relaxed setting.
A mid-conference excursion offered delegates the opportunity to explore the historic centre of Limassol through guided walking tours led by licensed guides. Participants visited the city’s most important historical landmarks, such as Limassol Fort and Medieval Alleys, before gathering for cocktails at the iconic Carob Mill, one of Limassol’s most celebrated heritage venues.
The conference dinner combined culture, history, and hospitality. Before the evening event, participants visited two of Cyprus’ most significant archaeological sites: the UNESCO-protected Neolithic settlement of Choirokoitia and the ancient Kourion Amphitheater. The evening continued at a local winery, where guests enjoyed traditional Cypriot cuisine, local wines, live music, spectacular views, and plenty of dancing, providing a memorable conclusion to an outstanding week of scientific exchange.

Next Location
The PSCC community will meet again in 2028 in the historic city of Delft, Netherlands.
Known for its picturesque canals, elegant bridges, centuries-old architecture, and world-famous blue pottery, Delft offers visitors a uniquely Dutch experience. The city combines the charm of a preserved medieval centre with the energy of a modern innovation hub, thanks in large part to its globally respected technical and engineering institutions. Walking through Delft means passing canal-side cafés, quiet cobblestone streets, market squares, and historic buildings that have inspired generations of scientists, engineers, and artists.
The organisers of PSCC 2028 look forward to welcoming the international power systems community to a destination where history, technology, and culture coexist in remarkable harmony.
