The German Federal Government has set milestones for the expansion of renewable energies in its energy concept from 2010 and in the "Climate Protection Plan 2050". By 2050, primary energy consumption should decrease by 50% compared to 2008, the share of renewable energies in final energy consumption should increase to 60% and greenhouse emissions should decrease by at least 80% compared to 1990.
In order to achieve this, new processes are needed to balance supply and demand in order to compensate for the weather-related and varying availability of renewable energies over the course of the year as their share of supply increases. In addition to intelligent control instruments and electricity-based gases and fuels, this includes electricity storage.
Many of the developments mentioned are not yet technically mature or cannot yet be operated economically. The aim must therefore be to advance the usability of energy technologies such as electricity storage in order to enable the integration of renewable energies and the rapid transfer of research results into the application and into the market.
In view of these tendencies, the DEMIKS project aims to develop innovative knowledge in the field of single-rotor rotary mass energy storage (RKS).
