Research and Development

advancing the energy transition

For over 15 years, our technologies have set new standards in the successful integration of wind and solar energy. The foundation of our success is the continuous work in research and development. Whether under our own direction or in cooperation with partners, we develop innovative solutions for the diverse challenges faced in the decentralization of energy systems. Here, our focus is always on providing IT-based services to grid and plant operators as well as to energy providers and electricity traders for applications in the energy economy.

A selection of our research and development projects:

Use Cases

Electricity mast - enera, the showcase for the energy supply of the future

enera - energy supply of the future

enera is a part of the development program "Smart Energy Showcases – Digital
Agenda for the Energy Transition" (SINTEG) by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy.

Minimize icing of wind turbines by icing forecast

Minimizing wind turbine icing

In the context of the PiB research project, an intelligent operational management to reduce the risk of wind turbine icing is to be researched.

The energy supply for this cold store in Cuxhaven is controlled by the Virtual Power Plant.

eTelligence & Virtual Power Plant

In the project eTelligence a Virtual Power Plant bundled electricity from renewable energies and placed it on the power market as a tradable product.

Current carrying capacity of overhead power lines

ORKA 2

Optimisation of ensemble forecasts with regenerative inputs for short-term forecasts applied to the example of grid security calculations and current carrying capacity forecasts.
