For the eighth time, another edition of the international workshop on dynamic stability challenges of the future power grids DynPOWER took place successfully. This year, the workshop was brought back to Switzerland and in the Kultur & Kongresshaus (kuk) Aarau, Switzerland, on Monday, 9 September 2024. 

The 2024 workshop covered a broad range of topics of power systems dynamics and where real applications to mitigate nowadays challenges where presented. It was attended by 35 people in Aarau and more than 300 people online from more than 60 nations. There were 7 presentations from experts from industry and academia, which thanks the financial support of the Swiss National Science Foundation came from abroad and the presentations triggered interesting discussions among the participants. Moreover, the persons attending the event in Aarau had the opportunity to also participate in the technical visit to Swissgrid AG, where they visited the control room and learned the operation of the Swiss power systems and its role in continental Europe. Visitors to kuk also had the chance to see a demonstration of the ABB SSC600 + HIL606 Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing Setup for Digital Substations from our sponsors ABB and Typhoon HIL.

On behalf of the organising committee, we thank Swiss National Science Foundation, ABB, Typhoon HIL, and Swissgrid AG for their support and to all attendees for making the event a big success once again. We look forward to welcoming you in Rome, 2025 in another exciting event co-organized by Terna, the transmission system operator in Italy.

After the event we conducted a satisfactory survey among participants. Following some feedback received from the persons attending DynPOWER 2024.
