➀ The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is establishing a unique research environment at the High Power Grid Lab (HPGL) to study the behavior of innovative power grid components under realistic conditions.
➁ The test platform is designed to mimic real power grids and will focus on low and medium voltage networks for regional electricity distribution.
➂ The HPGL is scheduled to be operational by 2030 and is being funded with 32.8 million euros from the Helmholtz Association's strategic expansion investment fund.
