The research of the section ESAT - Electrical Energy Systems and Applications (ESAT-ELECTA) covers a broad spectrum of electrical energy systems and the robust control of industrial systems. More specifically, this group concentrates on the study of power systems, power quality, power electronics, information infrastructure and socio-economic issues. In this regard, the development of a future smart grid is a key objective. ELECTA is co-founder of the knowledge center EnergyVille together with VITO, imec and Hasselt University. At this knowledge center technologies are developed to support a transition to an energy efficient, decarbonised and durable urban environment. This research stretches from solar panels and energy storage, all the way to energy strategies and markets.
The marine research component of this group concerns the techno-economic aspects of the energy production by offshore wind turbines. Additionally, research is conducted on offshore transmission networks, the planning of hybrid offshore assets, a north-sea energy plan for transition to sustainable wind energy, electrical networks to connect remote offshore wind farms and testing of critical components in wind turbines.
