Future Energy Lab
The energy transition is one of the greatest challenges facing society, the economy and politics. It is currently being implemented step by step on the basis of existing structures and conventional concepts. Both are increasingly reaching their limits in terms of reliability and acceptance.
The focus of the Future Energy Lab is on researching pioneering methods and technologies for designing a resilient, stable and secure energy supply network (electricity, heating, cooling, gas).

Focus of the Future Energy Lab
The focus of the Future Energy Lab is on researching pioneering methods and technologies for designing a resilient, stable and secure energy supply network (electricity, heating, cooling, gas) that addresses the following challenges:
- Fluctuating energy supply from renewable sources
- Increasing electrification and rising energy demand
- Strongly varying energy use
- Previously limited capacities for energy storage and energy transportation
- Mapping, controlling and automating grid structures for energy transport
A holistic view of the aforementioned requirements and technical possibilities is the basis of a future energy system and thus the opportunity to take on a global role model and demonstrate that the energy transition can be successful on a global scale.
