Electricity grid with strong genes. Using a computer program, researchers are showing how to make the electricity supply in 2050 as cheap as possible.

The electricity grid is both dynamic and sluggish at the same time. On the one hand, it distributes electricity with rapidly fluctuating loads. On the other hand it takes a long time before constructional changes can be planned and carried out, which is due to both technical and social reasons. This makes it important to assess future scenarios with simulations. Scientists at RWTH Aachen are achieving this with their GENESYS software program.
