The department e²n uses state-of-the-art simulation tools in research and teaching. In addition, the department develops accelerated and parallelized methods for computationally intensive tasks, such as annual calculations and holistic smart grid simulations.

The range of commercial simulation tools of the department includes:

Siemens PSS®Sincal
DIgSILENT PowerFactory
Mathworks Matlab / Simulink / SimPowerSystem

pandapower and pandapipes

Together with the Fraunhofer Institute for Energy Economics and Energy System Technology (IEE), the department is developing the open-source network calculation software pandapower and pandapipes with the aim of automating the analysis and optimization of electrical power systems.

Real-time simulation

Furthermore, the department has a modern simulator for dynamic real-time simulation of electrical networks from the company Opal-RT. This enables, for example, the simulation of networks with a high number of nodes or the testing of operational control in real time.
