In­sti­tute of Net­worked En­er­gy Sys­tems

The Oldenburg DLR Institute of Networked Energy Systems develops technologies and concepts for the future energy supply on the basis of renewable energies. The focus is on the challenge of turning weather-dependent decentralised generation into stable and efficient energy systems. This transformation process is being researched within the framework of a consistent D3 approach (D3 = decarbonisation, decentralisation, digitisation). With its departments of Urban and Building Technologies, Energy System Technology and Energy System Analysis, the Institute is dedicated to system-oriented questions on the intelligent and efficient linking of the electricity, heat and transport sectors. System levels ranging from individual systems to 'smart' buildings to networked residential neighbourhoods and cities are considered. In addition, the Institute evaluates energy systems on a national and international level using its own network structure models and technology assessment methods.
