Automation technologies for society: Equitable and sustainable

Using more solar power without expanding the electricity grid: researchers at the Automatic Control Laboratory (IfA) have shown that the capacity of existing grids can be increased significantly through the coordinated control of solar installations.

At the beginning of September we uprooted the whole consortium for 3 days in Gruyères. Thank you to everyone who made it such a fun and successful event.

Using dynamic programming, as introduced previously, we eventually found the shortest route to the summit. We are finally at the top of the mountain! Naturally, many of us will directly reach for our phones. Perhaps to take a selfie with friends, to construct a panorama of neighbouring mountain tops, or maybe to record a video of some alpine birds effortlessly gliding around.
