Lifelike look-alike of the power grid

News - 01 February 2022 - M. Vielvoije

Professor Peter Palensky is developing a digital twin of the Dutch electricity grid, making it possible to do free research on innovations in the energy system without risking a blackout.

The digital twin of the energy network forms the ideal testing ground for research and experiments. The causes and effects are lifelike and totally virtual, with no risks of injury, damage or power cuts. But when a transformer or cable are physically connected in the new ESP Lab, they will go ‘pooff’ in the event of a short circuit or overload in the digital version of the grid.

Peter explains everything in detail at Delft Integraal.
