Systems
Research & Innovation Layer 1
The Systems layer considers the entire energy system, consisting of the electric power system with relevant extensions. The activities within this R&I layer will be performed by an interdisciplinary team of academic and industrial experts active in the area of power systems, power electronics, energy systems, business networks and related business models.
The main scope of this layer is to define and develop models, methods and technical solutions for the future renewables-based electric power system, which makes the best use of flexibility sources considering grid capacity and business aspects in different time scales.
The Systems layer covers the entire system, once the appropriate boundaries are decided, at the cost of details. The different solutions for energy storage and system control will be mapped, evaluated and ranked, providing requirements and needed functionalities as an input for the other R&I layers.

High voltage ac-transmission systems for grid-connection of offshore wind farmsThis project aims to explore and compare two key technologies used to transmit electricity from offshore wind farms to the shore: HVAC (High Voltage Alternating Current) and HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current). The goal is to understand the practical limitations of HVAC, particularly over long distances, and identify how it compares to HVDC.

Global value chains for local energy systemsA transition to an electricity system based on solar and wind power and a range of new energy conversion and storage technologies will shift the geopolitical and environmental concerns from fuel supply and combustion to the entire value chain of energy devices. The aim of this project is to monitor and analyze the temporal evolution and spatial distribution of these value chains by compiling datasets of global product flows.
