Hybrid power plants and continental scale energy system modelling
The Renewable Plants in Weather Driven Energy Systems group focuses on the integration of wind power and other renewables into energy systems and markets. Their expertise spans power engineering, electrical engineering, control engineering and more. They work on various topics, including renewable system integration, wind power modeling, grid connection and offshore transmission. Their research aids grid planning, supplementary services, converter control, and renewable plant design and operation. The Risø Hybrid Power Plant (2 wind turbines, a solar field, batteries and ultracapacitors, 1MW) closes the loop of model development and validation.
Their work is useful in the renewable energy sector, benefiting industry stakeholders. They address weather-dependent renewable variability and uncertainty, informing grid and energy system planning. They optimize wind and hybrid power plant performance and integration, ensuring efficiency.
