As part of the TUHH course Electrical Energy Systems II, we recently visited the control center of the transmission system operator TenneT TSO GmbH in Lehrte-Ahlten, Germany. The TenneT team shared with us a variety of insights into the new challenges of managing the increasingly complex electric power system.
At the end of the substation tour, we performed a switching operation on the 380 kV busbar, which impressively demonstrated the power of electric current.
