Building-grid interaction signals and transformer aging at cluster level
The increasing integration of renewable energy into power grids poses challenges for operational stability, especially at the local distribution level. Buildings can support grid stability through flexible operation guided by building-grid interaction (BGI) signals. This webinar presents results from a recent study investigating how different BGI signal types such as single (electricity price or average CO₂eq.) and sequential (price/CO₂eq. combined with transformer critical status) influence both building operation and transformer aging in building clusters.

Her research focuses on building-grid interaction in buildings and co-simulation of building and energy systems. She has contributed to international research collaborations such as IEA EBC Annex 82: Energy Flexible Buildings Towards Resilient Low Carbon Energy Systems, where she investigates how control strategies and flexibility signals can support grid stability and decarbonization goals.
