Welcome at the digi-PES lab website
The digital Power & Energy Systems (digi-PES) lab associated with the Electrical Energy Systems group at TU Eindhoven aims to enable an energy transition of electrical energy systems towards the future integrated energy system. The laboratory environment is a cyber-physical ecosystem for students and researchers to explore innovations in various energy-related aspects of, but not limited to, dynamics and stability of inverter-based nano/micro-grids, stochastic optimizations for local energy communities, self-adaptive market integrations, grid-edge monitoring and control, hand-in-hand with emerging (big) data and Internet-of-Things (IoT) domains to lay a foundation for comprehensive data-drive and inter-dependencies models of energy system integration. The lab hosts a dedicated digital twin platform based on a microgrid-oriented real-time digital simulator with basic features, including real-time adaptability, observability, and predictability. Enabling such a digital twin platform will ease validation of the proposed scientific (stability analysis and control) studies with the detailed models or even hardware components, i.e. hardware in-the-loop simulations. This allows prototyping various software, hardware, and twin models rapidly, while exploring insight on their interactions with the electricity grid.
You are warmly invited to explore our research activities and provide us with any feedback that will enhance our work.
