Smart Self-Consumption and Storage for Better Energy Use (ASIMUTE)

The ASIMUTE project is a tri-national collaboration bringing together experts working in fields as varied as sociology, law, cybersecurity and smart grids. The results of their work will improve our knowledge of energy production, distribution, supply and optimisation in the Upper Rhine region.

In the ASIMUTE project, the Institute of Mechatronics and Electrical Drives and the Institute of Electromobility at RPTU University Kaiserslautern-Landau intend to develop converters and corresponding control methods that can stabilize future grids, both on the higher levels of the grid as well as the lower ones that are important for the supply of households and most small and medium-size businesses. The focus is on novel converter topologies and distributed control strategies for providing grid services such as grid impedance-adaptive dynamic voltage stabilization and voltage filtering based on grid impedance estimation.
