Electrical networks

The electricity grid is an essential building block of the energy system of the future. Due to the increasing electrification of sectors such as heating and transport, and the strong growth of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, the grid is being used more intensively and dynamically. At EnergyVille, we are investigating how the electricity grid of the future can be designed, managed and optimised to accommodate these developments in a reliable and efficient manner.
