Description

The electricity sector is increasingly dominated by factors like decentralized generation based on renewable energy sources; the changing role of consumers by acting as producers, aggregators and flexibility providers; the proliferation of power electronics; interaction with communication systems and digitalization; and coupling of different sectors (transport, electricity, heat, gas supply and chemical energy storage). This transformation requires innovative products, solutions, and services, where the key to competitiveness is rapid prototype development, real-world testing, and adaptation to continually changing challenges.
