Project description

By means of the proposed power electronic control system that can act not only as a load (whatever its nature) but also as a source (whether of renewable energy, storage or electric vehicle), the aim is to conduct in-depth valorization research with all players in the field of energy transition, and more particularly with distribution network operators (such as Fluvius in Flanders), in order to predict the impact of this energy transition on the network as accurately and adequately as possible and to validate the solutions proposed by means of this equipment.
