The chair of Electrical Power Systems is headed since the end of 2005 by Prof. Dr.–Ing. habil. Detlef Schulz. The core competencies of the chair lie in the field of electrical grids, grid operating equipment and grid-connected systems for energy conversion from or to electrical energy. The strategic research areas are stationary and mobile electrical grids, smart energy systems, electromobility charging infrastructures and hydrogen systems for sector coupling, taking into account and applying the latest technologies, methods and concepts such as digitalization, networking, cyber-physical systems and AI methods.
The chair is divided into three research groups: “Electrical and Multi-Modal Grids”, “Electromobility and Charging Infrastructure”, and “Hydrogen Facilities in Grid Operation”.
Teaching includes lectures, exercises and labs in the following areas
- Electrical power systems
- Calculation of grid fault and grid operation
- Basics of high voltage engineering
- Transient processes in high-voltage grids
- Regenerative energy systems in grid operation
- Energy economics
The following topics are focus of research
- Electrical power systems — Modelling and grid computation, smart grids, stand-alone power systems detection
- Grid identification — Simulation and measurement of frequency-dependent grid impedance
- Electromobility — Optimisation of charging infrastructure and integration into grid
- Multimodal energy systems — Sector coupling, hydrogen, fuel Cells, electrolysis
- More Electric Aircraft — Aircraft electrical systems, power management, integration of fuel cells, 3D-printing
