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.

LCA product analyses, economic building energy simulation, optimization of biogas plants (flexible gas production, stirring process, development of online measurement technology), exhaust gas purification in biomass combustion plants, system studies on renewable fuels, combustion processes (biomass, sewage sludge, etc)
The wide-ranging portfolio of topics extends from system studies in the field of renewable fuels, sustainable combustion processes, life cycle assessment product analyses, economic considerations in the energy sector at building and overall system level to the optimization of existing biogas plants with the development of practical measurement technology.
For this purpose, RES has a laboratory with analytical equipment (bomb calorimeter, IC, GC, HPLC, AAS and spectroscopy). There is also a technical center for setting up different types of test rigs. The largest pilot plants currently in operation are a retification column for the purification of dirt methanol from the pulp mill and a 2D PIV measurement system for the detection of velocity fields in fluid flows. The following software/databases are used at RES: Aspen Plus, Ansys Fluent, Python, Matlab, EcoInvent.

Oxyfuel combustion of sewage sludge with electrolysis O2 to utilize CO2 in Power-to-X processes
RES is modeling and simulating a power plant for both partial oxyfuel operation and full oxyfuel operation including a connected P2X process. The simulation of the power plant is intended to find the optimum operating point for both operating modes and to compare it with the experimental results.
