General Research Interest:

• Dynamical models of power grids
• Harmonic interaction in inverter-dominated power grids
• Non-linear coupled systems

Research Project:

Our research investigates vulnerabilities of power grids relevant to cyber-attack resilience focusing on non-linear dynamical phenomena. Studying universal features in transient dynamics numerically, we aim to gain a theoretical understanding of power grids' response to disturbances. Special emphasis is put on voltage dynamics in distribution grids and the interaction of inverter controls with the power grid. The gained insights are then used to formulate novel cyber-attack scenarios. Furthmore, we develop corresponding application-oriented defense strategies in collaboration with different grid operators. Overall, the research applies theoretical concepts from complex systems theory and statistical physics to the energy sector trying to contribute to today's power grid stability.
