We are pleased to announce that our project FLEXSYS – Implementation of flexibility sources and advanced control algorithms to support modern power systems with a high share of renewable energy sources has successfully secured research funding. The project addresses key challenges in modern power systems and contributes to the transition toward a sustainable, low-carbon energy future.

Project Background

Global power systems are undergoing a profound transformation driven by the imperative of decarbonization and the transition to sustainable, low-carbon energy models. Renewable energy sources (RES)—particularly solar and wind power plants—have experienced significant growth in recent years. Together with hydropower, their share in global electricity generation has now exceeded 30%.
