Decision support for distribution networks

To ensure that the grid does not get overloaded due to the increasing number of electric vehicles, heat pumps, and solar panels, grid operators need new digital tools. At EnergyVille, we combine power system techniques with smart technologies like artificial intelligence to build grid digital twin tools that essentially create a virtual version of the electricity grid. These tools help grid operators better understand what’s happening in the low-voltage grid and assist them in making optimal operational, investment, and policy decisions. Additionally, we also have expertise in modeling the impact of regulations on the distribution grid and on the behavior of grid users (see the Strategies and Markets research).
