Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Detlef Schulz
The department is headed since the end of 2005 by Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Detlef Schulz and covers the spectrum of conventional and regenerative power plants, transmission and distribution grids, grid coupling of decentralized power generators, electrical power systems and electromobility up to energy-efficient consumers.
Teaching includes lectures, exercises and labs in the following areas
- Electrical power systems
- Calculation of grid fault and grid operation
- Basics of high voltage engineering
- Transient processes in high-voltage grids
- Regenerative energy systems in grid operation
- Energy economics
The following topics are focus of research
- Electrical power systems — Modelling and grid computation, smart grids, stand-alone power systems detection
- Grid identification — Simulation and measurement of frequency-dependent grid impedance
- Electromobility — Optimisation of charging infrastructure and integration into grid
- Multimodal energy systems — Sector coupling, hydrogen, fuel Cells, electrolysis
- More Electric Aircraft — Aircraft electrical systems, power management, integration of fuel cells, 3D-printing
