Shift2DC was represented at the 10th IEEE Workshop on the Electronic Grid (eGrid 2025), held in Glasgow, Scotland, from September 30 to October 2, 2025. The annual IEEE PELS conference gathered leading researchers and industry experts to discuss the latest developments in DC and hybrid AC/DC power systems, smart grids, and power electronics for future energy networks.
At the event, Tim Karsten from RWTH Aachen University, a key partner in the Shift2DC consortium, presented the paper titled: “High-Bandwidth Impedance Measurement of DC Grids Using Dual-Active Bridge Converters.”
This research introduces new methods to characterize the electrical response of DC grids using dual-active bridge converters, helping improve the stability and control of next-generation DC systems — a key goal of the Shift2DC project.
Tim’s poster presentation was an opportunity to engage with partners from both academia and industry in a discussion on the practical implementation and potential integration into wider DC grid architectures.
Other Shift2DC partners also participated in the conference, including Ahmad Makkieh from Schneider Electric, who joined as a panellist in the session “Panel 7: DC in Distribution Systems”, discussing the role of DC technologies in modern distribution networks. Harry Stokman, from Current/OS, was also part of the same panel, contributing his expertise on DC system standardization and interoperability.
Shift2DC’s involvement at eGrid 2025 highlighted its active role in the global DC community and confirms its commitment to advancing sustainable and efficient DC technologies. Through these collaboration efforts, the project continues to bridge the gap between theory and real-world deployment, and to shift from theory to practice, with its four demonstration sites now preparing for implementation.
