#4 | The Net in Transition
Prof. Dr. Holger Wrede is an electrical engineer and talks in the fourth episode of our Change Maker podcast about an aspect of the energy transition that is essential for its success but still receives little attention in the media - our electricity grid!
How does it work, what is the difference between the old, fossil-based and the renewable generation system from the grid's point of view? How are the requirements changing in a world driven by wind power and photovoltaics? What will happen from the grid's point of view if the large power plants are successively shut down and where will inventiveness still be needed to ensure grid and supply security in the future?
We also learn from him how his research is helping to support change and conclude with a wonderful appeal to the next generation of engineers in Germany, the land of inventors.
