Integrated Infrastructure
The department Integrated Infrastructures develops models to analyze and evaluate technologies and infrastructure to identify possible transformation pathways from regional to global energy supply systems. The scientific questions focus on the areas of renewable resources in a national to global context, networked infrastructure with sector coupling options and future mobility concepts and technologies. The techno-economic analysis of the systems and their evaluation are carried out using models with high temporal, spatial and sectoral resolution, considering the possible transformation paths from existing to climate-neutral energy systems.
Research Teams
Global Energy Pathways
The scientific work of the team Sector Coupling focuses on the modeling, analysis and evaluation of infrastructures for the transport of electricity, natural gas, hydrogen, heat and other energy carries or energy related products.
Sector Coupling
The scientific work of the team Sector Coupling focuses on the modeling, analysis and evaluation of infrastructures for the transport of electricity, natural gas, hydrogen, heat and other energy carries or energy related products.
Distribution Infrastructure
The team Distribution Infrastructure focuses its research on modeling, analysis and evaluation of electricity, gas and hydrogen distribution grids and their transformation pathways.
Transportation Scenarios
The team Transport Scenarios works on research relating to the development of passenger and freight transport. To this end, model-based analyses take up the status quo in the transport sector based on traffic statistics and energy balance correlations and examine a broad spectrum of possible developments in the form of scenarios.
