Power Electronics for a sustainable and secure Energy Supply Michael Weinhold Technology and Innovation Siemens AG, Energy Sector
Challenges and Solutions for the energy system High efficient fossil power plants Need for more energy Increased use of renewable and distributed energy resources. Urbanization Bulk power transmission over longdistances Scarcity of natural resources Distribution within congested areas / mega cities. Climate Change Open markets Goal: efficient, reliable, flexible, safe and secure energy supply infrastructure
Future grids require more flexibility Increased energy trading Integration of distributed energy resources Increasing distance between generation and load Increasing short-circuit currents High supply quality along with greater network complexity and vulnerability Fluctuating infeed Cost pressure Aging infrastructure and lack of experts Legal & regulatory framework Drivers for flexible and (cost)-efficient grids
