Masterclass Network Congestion

The transition to renewable energy sources can lead to an uneven distribution of energy production and demand throughout the year. For example, too much electricity can be generated in places where it is not needed at that moment, and it cannot be transported in large quantities from those locations. This problem is called grid congestion and plays a significant role in the energy transition.
