System and Market Studies

Forecasting future developments and evaluating technologies and alternatives along the Hydrogen and Power-to-X processroutes

Assessment of market potential using system and market studies, as well as calculation of ecological and economic impacts using Life-Cycle Assessments (LCA).


Chair of Energy Systems (LES)

Energy system modeling in an European context and evaluation of the need for Power-to-X in an integrated energy system

Energy system modeling and operational planning of different types of power plants in a European context.

Definition of techno-economic framework conditions and determination of the potential of technologies in the energy supply

Chair of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Systems (ENS)

Energy system modeling for a better understanding of the transformations in business, technology, law and society through the energy transition

The ENS arranges itself on the system level in order to use its competences in the field of energy system modeling. Individual modeling results can also be studied in the laboratory facility CoSES (Center for Combined Smart Energy Systems).

Research, validation and implementation of "Power-to-X" concepts
The main research topics in the project network are: Electrolysis solutions for the production of H2 from renewable energy as well as further process routes.

Life cycle analysis and energy models
The contribution of ENS is on the one hand the life cycle analysis (LCA) according to ISO14040 of PEM electrolysis in cluster A1. On the other hand, the ENS is integrated into the roadmap process. The aim of this is to ensure that the cluster-specific results are comparable across projects. In relation to the energy sector in particular, the ENS provides an energy model in which the individual P2X technologies are integrated. This makes it easy and transparent to run through individual predefined scenarios over the entire duration of the project.
