Switching from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy is the key to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving the climate protection targets. Particularly renewable electricity has made great progress in...
E for Energy Distribution
Intelligent controls for the energy supply and demand as well as the development of components for the smart grid both fall under the topic of energy distribution. The entire framework of energy system technology responsible for optimizing the interplay between suppliers and consumers belongs to one of the most important areas of work for the energy transformation. Power electronics, ICT for energy systems and the system integration of electricity, heat and gas are important topics in this field.

Christoph KostPaths to a Climate-Neutral Energy System – the “counter-large-infrastructure scenario”
One of the scenarios in our study assumes that there will be massive resistance to the expansion of new infrastructures in the energy sector. What needs to happen by 2050 to reduce our CO2 emissions from transport...

Paths to a Climate-Neutral Energy System – the “We-save-more” Scenario
This scenario assumes that enough of us become so aware of climate change and the need for a climate-neutral energy system that we are prepared live more economically. What needs to happen by 2050 to reduce our CO2...
Digital Tool for the Electricity Grid: Forecasting Model to Determine the Power Output of PV Modules
As part of a research project, Dr. Sven Killinger developed a forecasting model that provides grid operators with data on the power output of PV systems in real-time. In the interview, he explains how it works. The...
