Renewable Plants in Energy Systems
Our ambition is to drive power engineering research in how renewable power plants are designed and operated in weather dependent energy systems to the benefit for developers and owners of renewable generation supporting the green transition.
Our research has two strongly coupled focuses: one on design and operation of renewable power plants and one on analysing weather dependent energy systems which the plants are connected to. It is essential for renewable plant development to take power and energy system properties into account because financial and technical solutions must adapt to demanding future conditions. Special focus is on hybrid power plants to provide advanced grid capabilities and experimental validation in the Risø-HPP facility. The research is disseminated via education, publications, standardization, services, datasets, and software (e.g. CorRES, HyDesign, and Balancing Tool Chain).
