Microgrids and Metrology Research Group, incl. Laboratory of Lighting Technology
The research group work is focused on developing two scientific fields: power supply and metrology.
Research in the field of power supply is focused on studying prediction and characterization models for consumer-side power system flexibility, increasing the flexibility of energy communities by applying artificial intelligence to manage and optimize energy flows in microgrids, and developing novel flexibility services and products. The possibilities of using street lighting infrastructure for the broader integration of green technologies (electric vehicles, renewable energy, etc.) into the power system are also being investigated.
Research in the field of metrology is mainly focused on developing measurement methods essential for electric lighting and industrial equipment diagnostics. In electric lighting, the impact of new lighting technologies on humans and the environment (including traffic safety) is studied, and new photometric measurement methods are being developed, for example for assessing LED screens and the effects of light pollution. Methods and algorithms suitable for the diagnostics of industrial equipment are also being researched in order to prevent economically costly failures and malfunctions.
