From October 16th to 18th, the eGrid-Workshop hosted approximately 170 international experts at KIT in order to discuss about innovative solutions for power electronics in energy grids.
The 8th IEEE workshop eGrid2023 focused on the integration of power electronics in energy grids. During these three days, new solutions were presented and interfaces and potentials were discussed. In addition to numerous team talks, six keynotes, and five tutorials, there were also visits to Energy Lab 2.0.
Scientists and experts from all over the world were given an insight into research at the Energy Lab. Power-to-X plants demonstrated how green electricity can be converted into chemical energy carriers and thus be stored. The PHIL lab demonstrated real-time simulation of various grid integration options. The solar field and large-scale batteries nearby provided insights into different generation and storage technologies.
This eGrid workshop was organized by Sandia National Labs and sponsored by OPAL-RT, EGSTON, GE Vernova, RTDS/MPE, Typhoon, the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS), and the IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES). In previous years, it has taken place in various locations, including Charleston, USA, Auckland, New Zealand, and Hefei, China. The Energy Lab is pleased to join the ranks of esteemed hosts in this series.
