iPLUG-HE

Integrating higher shares of renewable energy technologies puts pressure on the low- and medium-voltage distribution grids. Other challenges that modern distribution grids face include the construction of new lines and the connection of several loads at different voltage levels. To combat these issues, the EU-funded iPLUG project will develop novel power electronics based on multiport converters, thus facilitating the integration of multiple renewable sources, energy storage systems and loads to the grid. The proposed converters will be installed in several locations, preventing grid congestion.
