Research Concept
Our research work involves the simula-
tion of components and the system be-
haviour of electrical networks. Network
models are able to be developed by
means of coupling digital network com-
putations and the experimental simula-
tion of energy systems. This is carried
out by bench scale testing, verifying the
models against each other and analysing
them in terms of their operational behav-
iour. The results provide important find-
ings for the design and performance of
real systems, the development of new
technologies, as well as determining the
necessary investment costs .

About us
The Chair of Electrical Energy Systems at
the Friedrich-Alexander University of Er-
langen-Nuremberg was established on
1st April 2011.
In both training and research, we are pre-
dominantly engaged in the development
and operation of future innovative elec-
trical energy power supplies, as well as
the design of such systems. We wish to
achieve with the training we offer and
our work in research, a scientific contri-
bution to the future advancements of
sustainable energy systems. In doing so,
we count on practical relevant interdisci-
plinary collaboration and cooperation in
a national and international environment.

aforementioned subjects and research.
Research Focus
Our field of research is orientated to the
current challenges and innovation of
electrical energy systems :
•
The development and design of large
scale transmission systems (e.g. Elec-
tricity Highways, Offshore-Grids, etc.)
•
Design and integration of High Voltage
Direct Current (HVDC) transmission
systems and Flexible AC Transmission
Systems (FACTS)
