The Research Focus Energy investigates issues relating to energy supply, energy systems and the
associated core components. The expertise lies particularly in the following areas, supported in each case by cross-sectional expertise in information and communications technology (ICT) and artificial intelligence (AI):
- Heat and process engineering
- Renewable energies
- Process and component simulation
- Energy conversion and storage
The researchers work at the three institutes in this Research Focus (Institute for Energy and Drive Technology, Institute for Electrical Energy Systems and Institute for Power Electronics) as well as other research-intensive laboratories.
