Due to the displacement of fossil-fired power plants in the course of the Energiewende, the formerly centralized energy system is developing into a decentralized system in which bidirectional energy flows occur and the increasing number of decentralized energy plants must increasingly provide ancillary services. This poses major challenges for the energy landscape.
A further development of the smart grid infrastructure under the aspects of the Energiewende must therefore meet a wide range of requirements. Above all, the expansion of renewable energies, the flexibilization of the load and the integration of innovative resources such as controllable local grid transformers and electrical storage units into the active distribution network pose a major challenge. The research group "System and Network Integration" meets these challenges with software-based quasi-static and dynamic network calculations. Laboratory measurements and field tests are used to validate the simulations.
