Electric grids are the backbone of the power system and must be expanded and modernized to adapt to the energy transition. This shift involves challenges such as fluctuating and distributed generation and new infrastructure for electric vehicle charging, among others. Grid flexibility, which has historically relied on fossil fuels and hydropower, will increasingly depend on battery storage systems, energy carriers like hydrogen and ammonia, demand response, and bioenergy. Additionally, grid power will evolve from a single-direction flow to a bidirectional one.
At ITA, we address the challenges of hybrid electric distribution grids through our expertise in sustainable electrical systems, energy storage, and power electronics. This foundation enables us to develop intelligent, high-efficiency, low-noise systems, supporting companies from the initial design stages with model development and digital twins to prototyping and experimental testing in relevant environments.
Our Zero Emissions Laboratory can operate both connected to the grid and off-grid, allowing us to assess transitions between modes, conduct black-start tests, and analyze harmonic effects in off-grid mode. It features renewable sources (photovoltaic and wind), storage systems (batteries and hydrogen), and load emulators to define and evaluate energy management strategies (EMS). Our experience in power inverter modeling, both at dynamic-scale and transients, underpins the analysis and definition of control strategies for grid stability, which can be validated experimentally, even for combined control of DC and AC grids.
