Future energy systems
To capitalize on the energy transition, we require new technologies based on renewable sources of energy. In order to ensure that this transition takes place reliably and effectively, various aspects are being researched in the field of engineering.
Featured projects
In the suCOO-Lab, scientists from the faculties of Mechanical Science and Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mathematics, and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) combine their expertise and collaborate on research activities in the field of sustainable energy technology. The common goal is to utilize heat sources based on supercritical CO2 in an environmentally friendly manner. Supercritical CO2 is the state in which carbon dioxide is neither a liquid nor a gas. In this supercritical state, CO2 exhibits a combination of the best properties of a gas with the best properties of a liquid.

In the ideas competition “Reallabore der Energiewende” (“Real-World Laboratory of the Energy Transition”) by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, the project “CityImpuls – Opportunities through implementation and testing of innovations in typical neighborhood structures – Impulses for the heating transition from Dresden” was deemed eligible for funding. Under the leadership of DREWAG, TU Dresden outlined the project together with the city administration and an industry partner. Finally, it will be possible to implement decades of research under real-world conditions. This brings researchers a huge step closer to the heating transition.
