It’s the Energy Transition Week at UCLouvain!
At iMMC, sustainability is not a slogan — it’s our daily scientific reality.
Every day this week, discover one of our academics whose research drives real change toward a sustainable future.
How can we power the transition to a low-carbon future?
Electrical power systems are the backbone of the energy transition, enabling the integration of renewable sources like wind and solar. They ensure reliable transmission and delivery of clean electricity while supporting electrification of industry and sectors such as transport and heating, which is essential for reducing carbon emissions. Their modernization and flexibility are key to achieving a sustainable, low-carbon future.
Prof. Emmanuel De Jaeger’s research group focuses on the dynamic behaviour and control of electrical power systems (including micro-grids), the exploitation of flexibility from electrical loads and distributed resources, and the integration of advanced power electronics converters into grids. Their work addresses technical and economic challenges to ensure resilient, smart and efficient electrical power networks in the context of the energy transition.
