The comprehensive integration of renewable energies is at the heart of the energy transition and poses new, complex challenges for the electrical system. The grid integration of PV, wind and variable hydropower plants, which generally have power electronic interfaces and therefore fundamentally change the classic behaviour of the grid, is particularly critical. Our institute is dedicated to both the technical design of compliant connection systems and the development of robust operating and protection concepts. In addition, we support the further development of standards at national and European level. The aim is to create a system architecture that guarantees stability and security of supply even under new boundary conditions.
