IBER participates in the ETG Congress 2025

Efzn lead project SiNED ends after five and a half years at the ETG Congress in Kassel

Selected results of the SiNED project of the Energy Research Center of Lower Saxony (efzn) were presented at the ETG Congress in Kassel on May 22, 2025. SiNED stands for “System services for secure power grids in times of advancing energy transition and digital transformation”. In this large-scale project, several universities and institutes conducted joint research into how system services can continue to be provided safely and reliably in an energy system that is increasingly determined by renewable energies and their volatility. More details on the project can be found here.

The SiNED project has thus come to an end after five and a half years of successful collaboration. Participants of the project came from the Technical University of Braunschweig, Clausthal University of Technology, Leibniz University Hannover and Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg as well as OFFIS - Institute for Information Technology Oldenburg and the DLR Institute of Networked Energy Systems.

The ETG Congress of the VDE (Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies) offered the opportunity to present the results of the SiNED project to the specialist public once again. In a separate session, the various project partners presented individual exciting sub-projects and gave an overview of what has been achieved overall in recent years. The Institute of German and International Mining and Energy Law (IBER) at Clausthal University of Technology took part with a presentation on electricity storage with the topic “Flexible use of electricity storage - does the new exclusivity principle fit?”.

The IBER also conducted research on numerous other topics as part of the SiNED project. For example, legal aspects of data access and data processing in connection with electricity grid operation and electromobility were examined. The use of loads for congestion management in the electricity grid and the interaction between congestion management and system services (e.g. balancing reserves) were also examined in more detail.
