PristupačnostDepartment of Energy and Power Systems was founded at the 129th Faculty Council’s Regular Session of the Technical College University of Zagreb, on Tuesday June 26, 1934. Department of Energy and Power Systems studies and innovates in the fields of generation, transmission, distribution and use of electrical energy, energy efficiency, high voltage engineering, smart grids, energy management, nuclear engineering and safety, electricity markets, and electric vehicles. Throughout the years, the Department has become the leading authority in the field of electrical power engineering in the region, maintaining long-term collaboration with the industry sector. Furthermore, it is recognized through its research activities and a large number of published scientific papers in JCR journals, as well as numerous national and international research projects. In total, the Department has 52 employees (16 Professors – 9 Full, 4 Associate and 3 Assistant) and offers substantial educational and R&D facilities, including five Research Laboratories, six department teaching halls and a department library. Through its activities, the Department has developed valuable international collaboration with many research institutions around the world. Researchers of the Department are currently involved in 3 HORIZON 2020 projects, 2 bilateral projects, 1 Erasmus+ project, 5 projects financed by the Croatian Science Foundation, as well as the principal investigators of a number of industry-funded projects.
The FLEXIGRID project kick-off meeting was held in Zaragoza, Spain from 29th October to 30th October.
Department members prof. Capuder and prof. Pandžić together with colleagues and partners from HEP-ODS Elektra Zagreb participated in the meeting.
The team members discussed project goals that include development, implementation and testing of tools for advanced (smart) operation and planning of distribution grids. The set of developed tools aims to ease the RES (Renewable energy sources) integration and increase observability, reliability and flexibility of distribution networks.
The short project description alongside additional photos can be found in the extended news content.
Interoperable solutions for implementing holistic FLEXIbility services in the distribution GRID – FLEXIGRID
FER Team leaders: prof. Hrvoje Pandžić and prof. Tomislav Capuder
(48 months, 448k Eur)
FLEXIGRID project proposes to improve the distribution grid operation making it more flexible, reliable and cost-efficient, through the development of 4 hardware and 4 software solutions. Four demo sites will be used to upgrade FLEXIGRID solutions towards TRL8: a rural and peri-urban network in Spain with a RES share of 39%; a resort in the Greek Island of Thasos able to integrate 10% of RES; an urban grid in the city of Zagreb with congested areas, and an isolated valley in the South-Tyrol region of Italy with more than 50% of hydroelectric energy.
