Master's thesis in Energy Economics – Topic Control Reserve: Dimensioning, Availability and Penalties (m/f/d)
As a transmission system operator, we secure the power supply for around eleven million people in Baden-Württemberg. We create the infrastructure for the energy transition by maintaining, optimizing and expanding the high-voltage network according to needs. With our network, we not only make the country an innovative power turntable in the heart of Europe, but also make the energy system of the future significant. The system operation area is responsible 24/7 for the safe, environmentally friendly and efficient operation of the transmission network and the control zone of TransnetBW. In addition to the control of the 380- and 220-kilovolt transport network, this includes the provision of efficient IT and infrastructure systems, the trade in energy and balancing markets, HSE tasks and the development of future-oriented platform solutions for controlling the power grid. .
