Infrastructure
The future is created where knowledge flows together. In the Future Energy Lab, we are pooling TU Dresden's excellently equipped infrastructure - from state-of-the-art laboratories to established research institutions - and networking them on an interdisciplinary basis. In this way, we create space for new ideas, strengthen cooperation with partners from industry and society and drive sustainable innovations in the key areas of energy, environment, materials and culture.
Area labs
- Process-To-Order Lab
- Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Lab
- Dresden Center for Intelligent Materials (DCIM)
- Hydrogen Lab
- Future Robotics Lab
Centers
- Center for Energy Technology
The Center for Energy Technology (ZET) of the Faculty of Mechanical Science and Engineering is an action platform for interdisciplinary energy research and serves to network energy technology research with non-university partners from science and industry.
Equipment and facilities
- Training nuclear reactor AKR-2
The AKR-2 training nuclear reactor is primarily used for the interdisciplinary, theoretical and above all practical training of TU Dresden students. However, due to its unique properties, the facility is also used in national and international joint research projects. - High-voltage and high-current laboratories
In the laboratories, electrical power supply equipment can be exposed to numerous high-current and high-voltage loads. - Helium liquefaction plant
The plant is primarily used to provide extremely low temperatures. This is achieved by liquefying helium at a temperature of approx. 4 K (- 269°C). The plant operates according to the so-called modified Claude process.
