Smart Grid Technologies
The research group deals with the transformation of the existing distribution network into a Smart Grid. For this purpose, applications, as well as functions and algorithms, are considered that will enable a technically viable and sustainable distribution network of the future. In addition to the analytical and simulation-related consideration, the research group has two laboratories at its disposal. The laboratories are used for analysis, development and validation. A core component of this is the (power) hardware in the loop environment using real time simulations. The research group is divided into two sub-teams, Smart Grid Technology Lab and Protection & Automation, which together work on the following research topics:
Research Areas
- Smart grid applications
- Protection and automation functions for smart grids
- Voltage control and congestion management
- Grid integration of electric vehicles
- Power / controller hardware in the loop tests
- Standardized engineering and test processes for smart grids
