Workshop on Automated Control Systems for Flexible Heat and Power
Aug 2026A sustainable energy supply requires a flexible, robust, and cross-sectoral energy system that fully utilizes the specific advantages of different renewable energy technologies. To achieve this, controllable technologies must reliably compensate for the variability of non-controllable renewable sources. Appropriate control strategies for both real-time and forward-looking flexible operation are therefore essential. As part of the […]
