IEC’s white paper on virtualizing power systems explores how digitalization, virtualization, and advanced simulation can modernize grid operations amid rising demand, renewable integration, and climate goals. Virtualization enables real-time system modeling, testing, and optimization without physical risk, improving flexibility, resilience, and cybersecurity. By uniting physical assets with digital twins, utilities can forecast performance, enhance interoperability, and speed innovation. The paper stresses global standards, collaborative ecosystems, and regulatory alignment to ensure secure, interoperable, and future-ready virtual power systems for reliable, sustainable energy delivery.
