Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jutta Hanson
Jutta Hanson studied General Electrical Engineering at the Technical University of Darmstadt and received her doctorate from the university in 2000. Following her doctorate, she worked in industry, focusing on the planning and analysis of public and industrial power supply networks, with a particular emphasis on stability, especially for the use of power electronic equipment. From 2004, she was responsible for transmission and industrial networks within the Electrical Systems Consulting department.
Since 2011, she has been a professor in the field of Electrical Power Supply with a focus on Renewable Energies within the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the Technical University of Darmstadt. From 2016 to 2018, she served as Dean of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the Technical University of Darmstadt.
Her research focuses on two main areas: firstly, the stability of electrical power grids with an increasing share of converter-based, volatile renewable energy generation, and secondly, the use of sector coupling to create flexibility. She works on the control of hybrid AC/DC grids and the planning of energy-optimized urban districts.
Jutta Hanson is, among other things, a Senator of the Helmholtz Association for Energy Research, a member of the board of the ETG (Energy Technology Group), a Senator of TU Darmstadt, a member of the advisory board of the BMWE's Roadmap System Stability, a member of the German Academy of Science and Engineering (acatech), and a member of the Academy of Sciences and Literature Mainz.
