Prof. Dr.-Ing. Holger Wrede is an electrical engineer, and in the fourth episode of our Change Maker podcast, he discusses an aspect of the energy transition that, while essential to its success, still receives little attention in the media—our power grid!
How does it work, and from the grid’s perspective, what is the difference between the old, fossil-fuel-based generation system and the renewable one? How are requirements changing in a world powered by wind and solar energy? From the grid’s perspective, what happens when large power plants are gradually shut down, and where is innovative thinking still needed to ensure grid and supply security in the future?.
He also tells us how his research is helping to support this transformation, and we conclude with a wonderful appeal to the next generation of engineers in Germany, the land of inventors.
