Winter-Blackout in Berlin: Interview with board member Prof. Strunz
The current taz article on the attack on Berlin’s power grid impressively shows how vulnerable critical infrastructure can be: In the depths of winter, tens of thousands of households are without power for days. In an interview, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Kai Strunz (TU Berlin) emphasizes that there is “no such thing as absolute security.” It is therefore crucial to make power grids more robust — through decentralization, redundancies, and intelligent grid management, in order to better cushion outages and compensate for them more quickly.
This perspective is central to the Mobility2Grid research campus: Prof. Strunz is a member of the campus board and, with his area of expertise at TU Berlin, is actively involved in research on campus. In the interplay between the power grid, digitalization, and mobility, we are developing and testing solutions for a climate-neutral and crisis-proof energy supply in Berlin.
