Intelligent Energy Cells: Modeled data as bedrock of decentralized Grid Operations
The energy transition is forcing a fundamental shift in how we manage grids: we are moving away from centralized, hierarchical "waterfall" structures toward a cellular architecture . In this model, local energy cells operate autonomously, balancing volatility exactly where it originates. In this...
Data-Driven Grid Operation in Low-Voltage Networks
The transformation of the energy system is increasingly shifting system responsibility toward distribution networks. With the ongoing electrification of the heating and mobility sectors, simultaneity factors and power demands in low-voltage networks are rising significantly. To integrate these new l...
GRIDNOW X GREEN TECH
From May 20 to 22, Berlin once again became a hub for forward-thinking solutions. At GREEN TECH FESTIVAL 2025, visionaries, companies, and changemakers from around the globe came together to showcase and discuss what's next in sustainability and technology - and we were right in the middle of it. !...

Power Triangle Basics
In AC circuits, current and voltage ideally oscillate in sync at a frequency of 50/60 Hz (fundamental frequency). There is no time offset between current and voltage, resulting in a state that is referred to as being in phase. This is referred to as a phase shift of zero degrees, which is described ...
GRIDNOW @ KOOPMANN 2024
Two days full of energy, exchange, and ideas - that's how we experienced the KOOPMANN Energy Days 2024. Together with our partner ELATEC POWER DISTRIBUTION, we were on-site to showcase how we are shaping the future of energy supply with adaptive, intelligent switchgear and smart services. ![image.]...
Real, Reactive and Apparent Power basics
In AC circuits, current and voltage ideally oscillate in sync at a frequency of 50/60 Hz (fundamental frequency). There is no time offset between current and voltage, resulting in a state that is referred to as being in phase. This is referred to as a phase shift of zero degrees, which is described ...
Power-Factor Correction Methods
The compensation of reactive power is one of the fundamental tasks in the field of power quality. Depending on the environment, area of application and focus, different solutions are available that are based on an identical operating principle. The reasons why, the relationships, the fundamentals an...
Open loop vs. Closed loop control of Active Filters
Besides the grid connection point (see article: Connection Configurations), the position of the current transformer (CT) for capturing the reference value of the active filter is a crucial aspect that can significantly influence the behavior of the active filter. Two fundamental variants can be dist...
Connection configurations of Active Filters
Regarding the mains connection of active filter systems, there are two basic configurations that can be distinguished: the parallel/shunt and series connection. There are also several hybrid or combined configurations possible. In the parallel connection also known as shunt configuration, the acti...
Active Filter Fundamentals
Active filter systems are a widely used means of addressing various phenomena of poor power quality. These mainly include effects that are caused by the specific current demand of loads (the load current of drive systems, for example) and thus determine the waveform of the load current (harmonics), ...
GRIDNOW meets Middle East
What an incredible event! Middle East Energy 2024 was so much more than just another trade fair - it was a showcase for the future of energy and a stage for fresh ideas, all set against the stunning backdrop of Dubai. Together with our partner ELATEC POWER DISTRIBUTION, we demonstrated how Industry...
