Smart Energy innovation area
The Smart Energy innovation area pursues the research and development of data- and model-driven solutions in the context of sustainable, integrated energy systems. This includes technical issues relating to the operation and planning of energy systems as well as economic issues relating to the development of products and services. The solutions should enable various stakeholders to operate in an increasingly complex energy system. The target group-orientated preparation of information for the design of applications is therefore another important topic in the field of innovation.
