🎉 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹! Today, our lab received 10 brand-new Typhoon-HiL 101 real-time simulators! These cutting-edge devices will be used in our new course, "𝗦𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀," providing students with invaluable hands-on experience. With these simulators, students will have the opportunity to explore and test real-world scenarios, enhancing their understanding of modern power systems and their complexities. 💥💥Stay tuned for more updates as we put these simulators into action!

Happy to share that our new paper on data-driven stochastic output feedback predictive control appeared in the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control. Guanru Pan and Ruchuan Ou devised a scheme to handle non-Gaussian stochastic disturbances of which only the first two moments are known. The paper relies on a stochastic extension to Willems' fundamental lemma to represent linear dynamics. Shoutouts to Guanru and Ruchuan who did all the heavy lifting. # Institute of Control Systems @ TUHH; ie3 at TU Dortmund University

Many thanks to Kim Krawiec and Erwin Burkhardt from Dipl.-Ing. H. Horstmann GmbH for the guest lecture which is part of the course “Power System Operation and Stability”. Today, the students were able to see what they had learned in theory put into practice. A whole collection of historically grown and further developed devices was presented and brought along “to touch”. In particular, the focus was on short and earth fault indicators, voltage testers and #voltage test systems, solutions for #monitoring, #telecommunication and #visualization, grounding devices and station accessories. #Horstmann #Innovation #PowerSystem #stability #EarthFault #TUDortmund

⚡️We are proud to share that our latest research, titled "𝗧𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 – 𝗔 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗜𝗖𝗧 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝗘𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲," has been published in the 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙅𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙀𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙋𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 & 𝙀𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮 𝙎𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙨! This paper opens new avenues toward robust and resilient #power and #energy systems by proposing the concepts of #holarchies and #holonic structures. These concepts serve as underlying design principles for #grid_automation and the coordination of #flexibilities in power and energy systems. We want to thank all the authors for their hard work. ✍️: Christian Rehtanz , Andreas Ulbig, Rajkumar Palaniappan, Timm Faulwasser, Selma Saidi , Anke Schmeink , Christian Wietfeld 🌐 You can read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/ecwnPNfs #TUDortmund #EnergySystem #ICT_Architecture #Automation_Architecture #DigitalTwin #Digitalization

50 Jahre Energieforschung – von EV zu ESW bis ie3   Am 1. März 1974 hat Prof. Dr. Edmund Handschin an der TU Dortmund in der Fakultät für Elektrotechnik den Lehrstuhl Energieversorgung (EV) in Betrieb genommen. Zu der Zeit war noch nichts vorhanden, außer ein paar leeren Büros. Nach einer schnellen Aufbauphase wurde der Lehrstuhl Ende der 90er Jahre in Energiesysteme und Energiewirtschaft (ESW) umbenannt, um den sich etablierenden liberalisierten Energiemärkten Rechnung zu tragen. Digitalisierung war damals genauso wie heute ein zentrales Thema der Energieversorgung. 2011 wurde aus dem Lehrstuhl das Institut für Energiesysteme, Energieeffizienz und Energiewirtschaft (ie3), welches heute von Prof. Dr. Christian Rehtanz und Prof. Dr. Timm Faulwasser geleitet wird.   Am 1. März 2024 haben mehr als 130 Aktive und Alumni aus all den Jahren zusammen mit Ehrengästen einen Workshop anlässlich des 50. Geburtstags durchgeführt. Der Gründungsprofessor Edmund Handschin und der erste Doktorand Dr. Peter Grafoner haben tiefe Einblicke in ihre langjährigen Tätigkeiten und Erfahrungen gegeben. Dr. Hendrik Neumann als Alumni und CTO von Amprion sowie Honorarprofessor Dr. Lars Jendernalik haben aktuelle Aspekte zum Netzausbau und Nachhaltigkeit von Netzbetreibern vorgestellt. In einem Science Slam wurden Schlaglichter auf die aktuellen Forschungen am Institut geworfen.
