BLACKOUT

by No Comments

The power grid is collapsing.
Industry, public authority, public life are paralyzed.
People are taken back to 19th century and try to survive.
Fear, chaos and violence are spreading.

A scenario to be read in books. But fiction can come true.
If a blackout really happend, the power grid has to be restored as fast as possible. This is the topic of our first exciting presentation this year:
System safety and reconstruction of a power grid – Operator Support Tools for reconstruction after a blackout in Germany.

The presentation is held by Prof. Wellßow and some of his staff members. In the beginning we will be introduced into the topic and then a simulation of reconstruction will be performed.

The event has to be relocated due to illness. The presentation will take place next thursday: 

When: 13th February 2020 at 5pm
Where: laboratory of power engineering in building 24

A really interesting and exciting topic
