The KDEE is concerned with device-oriented energy system technology for the use of renewable energies, with a particular focus on power converter technology in hybrid systems, in the distribution grid and in decentralized energy conversion and mobile energy supply systems.
The Competence Center for Decentralized Electric Power Supply Technology is divided into the following 4 pillars, each of which is coordinated by a research group leader:
- Department LE
- Structural studies of supply systems and energy conversion
- Development of units for power conditioning and their integration into supply networks
- Theoretical and experimental investigations on control, power conditioning, network formation and energy management of electrical power supply and energy storage systems
- Investigations and simulations of steady-state and dynamic component and system behavior
- Development of converter systems - especially converter units - as well as fundamental work on modularization and design of entire low-power supply systems
- Field e2n
- Control and design of generators, consumers, storage units and network resources for the provision of energy and network services
- Methods for energy management and grid operation / automation solutions in decentralized supply structures with different aggregation and incentive concepts
- Methods for automated network planning / optimized system design
- Solutions for robust system behavior in the event of a fault and for network reconstruction
- Field of AHT (currently not occupied)
- Application-oriented research in the field of high voltage technology
- Research on insulation materials in close cooperation with industrial companies
- Research on AC and DC systems (HVDC)
- Lightning and surge protection systems
- Field of INES
- Modeling and system description of static and dynamic behavior of power systems
- Development of optimization methods for future energy systems
- Cross-system research on electrical networks, heat and gas networks and the communication network
- Automation on the technical level and on the level of business processes
