New Zealand scholarship student conducts impactful research in energy 

Una Drayton, currently in her third year of electrical engineering at Canterbury University, grew up in rural New Zealand near Ohakune. She received the Inspiring Local Minds Scholarship from TLC and is now researching their network, which she describes as a meaningful full-circle moment.

Why Developers and Power System Operators need an automated approach to Model Quality Tests

Model Quality Testing (MQT) is essential for ensuring accurate, validated models in power system studies. PSC’s Poria Astero highlights MQT procedures, risks of manual testing, and benefits of automation and multi-platform validation for improved efficiency.
