Project Description: One of the challenges of the energy transformation is among others the intelligent networking of the various components of our energy systems. The collaborations across sectors, e.g. between generators, storage options, consumers and different transport systems are currently only represented insufficiently. The project focusses on the technological and economical interaction of the components of the energy system. The goal of the project is to shape an environmental friendly, resource efficient, flexible and stable energy system of the future. One special feature of the project is the integration of processes of the metal, cement and petro chemical industry.
