Under the supervision of Prof. Albert Moser, the Chair of Transmission Grids and Energy Economics is researching on the market and grid integration of renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, battery storage systems, heat pumps and electrolysers to achieve climate protection targets.
Employees are offered the opportunity to work on a wide range of grid technology and energy economic issues and thus contribute to the goal of climate neutrality. By working in academia and on various projects as well as taking on management and project responsibility at an early stage, the chair aims to prepare its employees for future challenging tasks in the grid and energy industry.
Research on transmission grid focuses on grid development and the secure and stable operation of hybrid three-phase and direct current grids in Germany and Europe with a high penetration of renewable energies and power electronic systems. The energy economic topics consider interdisciplinary technical and economic issues regarding the coordination between electricity markets and the transmission grid, i.e. security of supply, allocation of transmission capacities for the markets, procurement of system services and market simulations. Digital simulation models of the markets and the transmission grid are being further developed as a methodological approach. The mathematical methods used include complex optimization algorithms, machine learning and the calculation of large dynamic systems. The research areas of the chair are as follows:
