Electrical power supply networks
Specialist areas / focus
Asset management / grid planning and grid strategy
- The main focus here is on decision-making under uncertain framework conditions using modular grid expansion/conversion strategies.
- Sustainable planning strategies are applied, taking into account service life / investment and operating costs.
Regulatory and grid management aspects of energy supply
- All solution options, in particular smart grid and ICT options, are considered while recognising the regulatory framework conditions, in particular (unbundling) requirements. This ensures the applicability of the research.
- Grid integration of renewable energies / flexibility / ICT in the grid
- All aspects and possibilities are explored, but always with a view to technical, legal, economic and sociological boundary conditions.
Technical connection rules (TAR) at all voltage levels
- As co-creator and chairman of various FNN committees, in particular the TAR-MS, the relevant aspects and their consideration are ensured
- Theoretical and practical implementation and testing of island grids
- To increase resilience, corresponding research and field tests have been and are being carried out on real systems and distribution grids in the MW range.
