With the transformation of the generation portfolio towards volatile, converter-dominated feeders, dynamic system stability is changing fundamentally - a challenge of the highest technical and social relevance. At the Institute, we are investigating the transient and steady-state stability characteristics of future grids and their dependence on power electronic components. The development of novel analysis methods, including real-time simulations and hardware-in-the-loop methods, allows us to take an in-depth look at the dynamic system behaviour. In this way, we are making a substantial contribution to ensuring grid security - especially at a time when security of supply is recognised as a systemic stability factor in a sustainable society.
