Publicly Funded Research Projects
The research teams at IAEW work on a multitude of publicly funded research projects, which, amongst others, are funded by the European Union, the federal government, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and Arbeitsgemeinschaft industrieller Forschungsvereinigungen (AiF). The topics of these projects range from classic high-voltage technology research to the modelling and simulation as well as the optimisation and assessment of the technical and economic development and behaviour of the electrical power system, in particular the electric power generation, transmission and distribution, but also profit maximisation, quality of supply and environmental compatibility. Moreover, the areas of electromobility, digitalisation and IT security form an important part of the research projects at IAEW.
The following list gives an overview of our current publicly funded research projects as well as former projects, which have concluded successfully. We wish to express our gratitude to the public entities and program managements for the continuous support of our research.
