The work at the chair of Transmission Grids and Energy Economics is primarily focusing the question:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em> \u201eHow should we design the future energy system so that it is environmentally friendly, reliable and economically efficient?\u201c<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This covers a wide range of interesting aspects. For example, lot of research is done on how the large amounts of energy from photovoltaic and wind energy plants, as well as alternative energy sources such as hydrogen, can be integrated into the current energy system. The transmission grid for electricity is essential for this. It can be seen in everyday life, for example, by the high-voltage power lines running alongside the freeways. The transmission grid enables electricity transport over long distances and thus the transport of large amounts of energy from wind turbines in northern Germany to regions with high electricity consumption. Current projects at the chair are investigating how the transmission grid needs to be expanded and operated in the future in order to facilitate the energy transition. Research is also ongoing in determining the locations where power lines to offshore wind turbines in the North and Baltic Seas should be connected to the grid or where large electrolysis plants for the production of hydrogen should be positioned. In addition to the technical aspects of the components, these studies must also take economic aspects into account, such as the costs arising from investments or possible congestions in the transmission grid.<\/p>\n<p>In general, the consideration of economic and market aspects plays a major role in the transformation of the energy system. European efforts to further strengthen electricity trading between the individual countries are leading to increasing electricity exchanges in Europe and thus to further challenges for the transmission grid. The chair is therefore developing methods and models to simulate the European electricity markets. In this way, various future developments can be examined and their potential impact on market participants and the transmission grid can be analyzed.<\/p>\n<p>A further focus of the chair is to deal with innovative concepts that will ensure the secure and reliable operation of transmission grids in the future and thus protect against blackouts. To this end, models and processes must be developed that can represent and investigate the dynamic system behavior of transmission grids and their components under changing conditions.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3768\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3768\" class=\"wp-image-3768 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/files\/2024\/08\/UeEW-Frauen-Dach_240409-IAEW-0079-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"The picture shows eight young women standing in two rows on a roof.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/files\/2024\/08\/UeEW-Frauen-Dach_240409-IAEW-0079-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/files\/2024\/08\/UeEW-Frauen-Dach_240409-IAEW-0079-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/files\/2024\/08\/UeEW-Frauen-Dach_240409-IAEW-0079-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/files\/2024\/08\/UeEW-Frauen-Dach_240409-IAEW-0079-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/files\/2024\/08\/UeEW-Frauen-Dach_240409-IAEW-0079-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/files\/2024\/08\/UeEW-Frauen-Dach_240409-IAEW-0079-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3768\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Martin Braun<\/p><\/div>\n<p>When you think of working at a university institute, your first thoughts usually revolve around working solely on your own research project. This often gives a false impression of work life at an institute, especially in the field of engineering. Work at the IAEW is characterized above all by the <strong>variety<\/strong> of different projects with both research and industrial partners. This allows you to get to know different topics and to gain a wide range of experience. You are often involved from the very beginning of the projects through working on them on to the presentation of the results.

In addition to scientific knowledge, your time at the institute gives you the opportunity to acquire a range of skills that qualify you for <strong>management positions<\/strong> in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you also experience many other things that make working at the institute worthwhile.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em> &#8220;In particular, the joint activities with other young colleagues after work, various institute traditions, parties and sporting events are all part of it.&#8221; <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Notably, the IAEW also offers the opportunity to gain insight into the institute and its research topics through student assistant jobs or a thesis.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Be inspired and find your own way!<br \/>\nOn our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elektrotechnik.rwth-aachen.de\/cms\/elektrotechnik-und-informationstechnik\/studium\/beratung-kontakt\/bachelor-studium\/~bfskoi\/warum-etit-besonderheiten-an-der-rwth\/?lidx=1\">website<\/a> we inform you about our study programmes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A look at the team from the chair of Transmission Grids and Energy Economics at the Institute of High Voltage Equipment and Grids, Digitalization and Energy Economics (IAEW) presents a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4543,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"c2c_always_allow_admin_comments":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,12],"tags":[248,207,247,206,53,250,252,80,249,251,45,192],"class_list":["post-3765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-allgemein","category-schuelerinnen-studieninteressierte","tag-bachelor","tag-beruf","tag-bildung","tag-chancen","tag-elektrotechnik","tag-forschung","tag-karriere","tag-mint","tag-promotion","tag-spass","tag-studium","tag-technik"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4543"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3765"}],"version-history":[{"count":52,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3765\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4554,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3765\/revisions\/4554"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/elektrotechnik\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
