Africa: Research and Teaching platform for Development -
Sustainable Modular Grids for Grid Stability (ART-D Grids)
REFNo: SIR94ES
Together with the African and German partners, the objective of the project is to develop new
ways of electrifying remote regions in East Africa through microgrids and their
interconnection. These grids on the one hand meet the needs of rural communities for a robust and largely uninterruptible energy supply and on the other hand meet the politically motivated need for a centrally well-manageable power supply within the framework of a national grid. Many years of experience have shown that an interdisciplinary approach makes sense for
such a project, since the sustainable operation of infrastructure systems not only depends on sound technology, but social and economic factors also influence sustainable operation.
