About the author
did his electrical engi-
neering in computer and control systems
at Germany's first technical university in
Braunschweig with Prof Werner Leonhard.
He then elaborated his study through
his PhD in digital control of independent
power grids.
He joined the University of Kassel
in 1984 with Prof Werner Kleinkauf
and become project leader for decentral
energy systems. From 1989 onwards, he
started building up the Department of Systems Engineering
Jürgen Sachau
of the
German Energy Research Institute (ISET)—today Fraunhofer-
IWES—and their strategic programme. He has participated in the
foundation of the European Agency of sustainable energy research
institutes and companies, such as EUREC-Agency and has thus
contributed to a number of EU conference boards and scientific
committees on renewable energies, as well as to a number of
committees of IEA and IEC. He has also participated in EC project
evaluation and assessment. He is editor of the journal
European
Transactions on Electrical Power
and has served as editor-in-chief
of the
during their print era for
over one decade. He is also the founding editor of the
International Journal of Solar Energy
International
Journal of Sustainable Energy
and has published several hundred
articles.
From 1995
he guided three clusters of over 50 non-nuclear
energy projects in four EC-programmes at the European General
Directorate for Research in Brussels, after which he took over the
responsibility for supply quality management of the EU-funded
solar power demonstration programs and the advanced storage
strategy at the EU's joint research centre (JRC), Ispra. He was also
professor at the Energy Institute of the University of Kassel, where he
taught systems and control engineering from 1992 to 2003, after
which he founded the Systems and Control Engineering Department
,
of the University of Luxemburg. Currently, he is scientific director
in Luxembourg's Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability
and Trust, where his major responsibility is security and reliability
of future electricity grids fully powered by distributed generation.
