“As a result of the energy turnaround and the ever-increasing proportion of volatile producers and consumers, energy suppliers and in particular grid operators are faced with the major challenge of planning their grids to be future-proof. The current planning approaches of the conventional approach with deterministic load scenarios do not take this volatility sufficiently into account and thus bear the risk of wrong dimensioning of electric circuits.
My research focus is on time series-based probabilistic load flow calculations with the aim of future-proof dimensioning of distribution grids and to promote grid expansion only where it is really necessary. The possibility of determining the probability of occurrence and its duration offers completely new insights and possibilities in grid planning. The knowledge gained from the past can be used in conjunction with future forecasts for various scenarios to create a new planning tool and thus drive forward grid expansion planning in line with requirements.”
