Grid integration
With increasing renewable power generation, the topic of grid integration has become more and more relevant in recent years. The grid integration of renewable energies should be driven forward by optimizing existing grids, saving costs and expanding the grid efficiently. This can be made possible through the development of new operating resources, the use of intelligent technology, the restructuring of grids into cellular and resilient grids and the use of DC grids. In addition, indicators such as grid serviceability or system serviceability are to be developed and defined in order to be able to evaluate the energy transition. The Grid Integration group focuses on all approaches to the technical and economic control and regulation of local energy supply grids and their integration into large-scale grid structures.
To this end, the following focal points and potential for cooperation are defined:
- Integration of renewable generation plants
- Cellular networks
- Resilient networks
- Power electronics in the application
- System and network efficiency
- DC grids
