On 12 December 2025, the annual winter workshop of the Power Systems Group at TU Ilmenau, co-organized by the IEEE Student Branch Ilmenau, took place. The workshop is a great opportunity for us to discuss current topics with our students, employees and alumni.
This year, the workshop was organized with three contributions:
Presentation of the results from the hackathon in Energy Research and Innovation Methods 1
Jannes Grünberg on current challenges and approaches to solving the energy transition from the perspective of a distribution grid operator
Dr.-Ing. Michael Agsten with an overview of current trends in the use of AI in system operation
Many thanks to all speakers for their exciting insights and to all participants for the lively discussions. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy new year 2026!
