Microgrids and Metrology Research Group

The TalTech Microgrids and Metrology Research Group (22 team members) is part of the Department of Electrical Power Engineering and Mechatronics. The group focuses on two main areas: electrical power supply systems (including microgrids) and lighting systems.

In the field of lighting, the group studies the impact of new lighting technologies on human health and the environment, including road safety. New measurement methods are being developed to assess light pollution and the effects of various lighting sources, including LED screens. Additionally, the potential of indoor and outdoor lighting applications to provide flexibility to the energy system is being explored. These efforts support the development of sustainable energy systems and improved lighting quality.
