flexible power grids for reliable integration of broad decentralised generation and storage

• speeding up decarbonisation of electricity supply by large-scale integration of decentralised generation and storage
• harmonising physical behaviour of Smart Grids and the new structure of markets
• reducing ICT requirements and the risks of cyber-attacks 
• improving data privacy 
• supporting cross-sectoral coupling
• embedding largely self-sufficient energy players in the general powersys-LINK-based power grid 
• ensuring the most reliable and sustainable operation of the power grid at all voltage levels – both in normal and in emergency situations
• has been validated by a comprehensive fractal analysis

Level of innovation

• first operating architecture for smart grids of the "energy transition", whose full functionality on all network levels was confirmed by a comprehensive fractal analysis
• first broad public presentation of the opportunities that arise from fractal analysis

Target groups

• operator of high voltage networks (TSOs) as well as medium and low voltage networks (DSOs) 
• manufacturer of power engineering components and controllers or management systems for power supply networks
• network regulators, authorities and energy politicians - the "energy turnaround" requires an operating architecture for its power networks, the consistent functionality of which is documented on all network levels by comprehensive fractal analysis
