CROM

Center for Research on Microgrids

CROM is a European leading research center, affiliated to the AAU Energy department at Aalborg University. It is dedicated to the sustainable development on multi-disciplinary electrification frameworks and optimal cutting-edge energy AC & DC Microgrid solutions in applications such as Marine (shipboard power systems and seaports), Space (closed ecological systems and manned lunar bases), AI-enabled energy systems, and system integration. With more than 15 years of experience, CROM currently comprises world-class laboratories, having so far more than 50 members, including Researchers, PhD/MSC students, and visiting scholars. As a major research center, CROM has established a close international cooperation with industry firms, universities, and research institutions worldwide.

CROM is aligned with the following UN Sustainable Development Goals.

CROM’s research and innovation agenda is closely aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 13 (Climate Action).

By developing intelligent microgrid technologies that enable efficient, decentralized, and low-carbon energy systems, CROM actively contributes to expanding access to clean energy, promoting resource-efficient energy planning, and reducing the environmental impact of energy generation and consumption. Through its interdisciplinary approach and strong ties with industry and policymakers, CROM plays a pivotal role in shaping sustainable energy futures at both local and global levels.
