The Energy Grids Simulation and Analysis Laboratory is a hardware and software infrastructure for modeling, simulation and analysis of energy grids. Both microgrids (house networks, island networks) and the KIT Campus North power grid as well as interconnected networks (Karlsruhe city grid, transmission and distribution networks Germany, transmission network in Europe) are being investigated. State-of-the-Art software and self-developed, novel computer solutions form the basis for this.

Energy networks (electricity, gas, heat, fuels) connect producers, storage facilities and consumers. The future electricity grid will play a central role in the integration of all energy forms and networks in the energy transition. Planning, simulation, analysis and optimization of the interconnected grid is therefore imperative.
