Digitalization and the energy transition bring new challenges for the generation, transport, and use of electrical energy. We research and develop solutions for our partners across technical, economic, and organizational topics.
Our Focus Areas
Smart Grid
- Leveraging smart meter data for new applications
- Using big data technologies for grid operation and planning
Energy Management
We develop concepts and algorithms for:
- Demand Response/Management
- Prosumer-Management, Eigenverbrauchsoptimierung
- Ladeinfrastrukturen für Elektromobilität
- Virtuelle Kraftwerke auf Basis dezentraler Anlagen
Energy Storage Systems
From large pumped-storage power plants to private battery systems, we support you with:
- Design and dimensioning
- Applications and use cases
- Business case analysis
Grid and System Analysis
- Grid studies for distribution and transmission networks (load flow, short-circuit, network security, optimization)
- Analysis of energy systems with multiple carriers (electricity, gas, heat)
- Assessment of grid compatibility of new technologies
Prosumerlabor
The lab includes, among other things, a 9 kWh battery storage system, a 10 kWp PV system, and various loads. It is networked with the Energy Research Lab at the Institute for Energy in Building at FHNW in Muttenz.
