Brief Description of Professorship
The chair of Electrical Power Systems uses
classical methods of power engineering as
well as adapted strategies for the grid integration of decentralized power plants with
renewable sources. A focus lies on the topics grid control, energy storage technology, virtual storage and virtual power plants.
These issues are part of the interdisciplinary
research cluster „Sustainable Power Systems“, which the chair of Electrical Power
Systems joins. Further topics with the subject sustainability are developments for fu-
ture on-board grids of aircraft, including the
integration of fuel cells.
The scientific spectrum of the professorship
includes measurements with corresponding
simulations as well as the development of
new simulation tools for special operating
cases in power grids.

Research Projects
Project 1
At the professorship containers for measurements of the frequency-dependent grid impedance in 20- and 110-kV-grids are developed.
By means of these measurements the integration of renewable energies in power grids can
be improved.
Project 2
This project studies, how energy storage can
increase the amount of renewable energies
in power grids and homogenise renewable
energy feeding.
Project 3
A novel fuel cell is in development which has
an externally controllable power behaviour.
Project 6
The utilisation level of resources of on-board
power systems in aircraft shall be improved
by means of an intelligent load management.
In this way more effective designs can be expected.

Project 7
In electrical power grids new systems must
be planned and current systems must be extended or adapted to new constraints. Such
calculations are performed with several commercial and self-developed software tools.
•
Project 8
Implementations of the Renewable Energy
Law (EEG) in practice have to be monitored
and analysed regularly. The professorship
participates in this EEG monitoring in the
field of wind energy.

Project 9
Energy Research Network Hamburg is a common initiative of universities in Hamburg and
the Ministry of Science and Research (BWF)
in Hamburg. The intent of this network is to
intensify the crosslinking in the area of energy research.

The research conditions are exemplary and
reflect the high technical standard of the laboratories and the excellent libraries.
The university‘s central concern is the advancement of prospective scientists. Helmut Schmidt University (HSU) has been
granted the right to award doctoral and
post-doctoral degrees. In the field of research, Helmut Schmidt University closely
cooperates with other universities, nonuniversity research institutes and industry
in Hamburg and the metropolitan region: It
is part of the Hamburg aviation cluster, one
of the first leading-edge clusters honoured
by the German Federal Ministry of Education
and Research and sponsored with funds totalling 80 million euros. It is a partner in the
“Biocatalysis 2021” research cluster, within
which biotechnological methods for industrial production methods – the so-called
“white biotechnology” – are being developed.
Helmut Schmidt University cooperates with
the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht (Centre
for Materials and Coastal Research) in materials research, a field in which both institutes are global leaders in their respective
domains. Together with Hamburg University,
Hamburg-Harburg University of Technology,
Hamburg University of Applied Sciences
and Hamburg HafenCity University, a “Renewable Energy” research association has
been established, one of the focal points
of research at Helmut Schmidt University.
Other focal points are mobility and logistics,
medical and biotechnology, transformation,
knowledge and technology management,
globalization and markets, or conflict dynamics.
In 2012, over 12 million euros from thirdparty resources were spent on research. Almost half the amount came from industry.
Department of Electrical Engineering
The small group concept practiced allows
our students to complete a compact course
in electrical engineering in just four years.
The Bundeswehr understood a long time ago
that the current and above all future operational scenarios our soldiers will experience
are characterized by technology - and will
be even more so in the future. In the bachelor on electrical engineering course and the
master courses on energy technology, information technology, computational engineering, renewable energies and intelligent
networks, our students acquire basic and
advanced knowledge both for their military
careers and for their future civilian professions in which temporary-career volunteers
work after after serving in the Bundeswehr.
Our students have extremely high specialist
skills and, after completing their military careers, also leadership skills. Specialist skills
can, of course, only be conveyed by a doctrine that is based on Humboldt‘s educational
ideal and is backed by top-level research.
This is what the Department of Electrical
Engineering stands for with its numerous
projects and the national and international
research programmes it conducts with industry and renowned partner universities.
