Research Projects

The overall objective of the project is to increase the efficiency of biogas upgrading plants by significantly reducing emissions and improving economic efficiency. The project aims to identify new revenue opportunities for operators of biogas upgrading plants through the additional production and marketing of CO2 alongside biomethane.

The CombiPower project focuses on the development of a modular, cost-efficient and multifunctional charging and drive unit for electric vehicles.

InterSCADA is a research project that aims to optimize the stability and efficiency of hybrid AC/DC energy systems. An open-source, manufacturer-independent software framework based on microservices is being developed that serves as a modular SCADA platform. This platform enables the comprehensive analysis and control of hybrid power grids across multiple voltage levels.

Optimization of piped heat supply in existing buildings and efficient integration of renewable heat sources into the grids through secondary measures.

REWARDS behandelt spezifische Fragen, die einerseits die Energiesouveränität und andererseits die Resilienz des Energiesystems betreffen. Es unterteilt sich in sieben komplexe Arbeitspakete mit verschiedenen Zielsetzungen und wird insbesondere von vier geförderten Projektpartnern bearbeitet.

METIS IV enhances the METIS energy modelling suite through targeted model and data upgrades, including improved representations of electricity markets, grid constraints, global hydrogen trade, and sectoral demand flexibility.

The “GFI Pilot” research project aims to demonstrate the stable operation of grid-forming battery storage systems distributed in the high-voltage grid as well as their contribution to instantaneous reserve and grid restoration through field tests in a high-voltage sub-grid.
