Technologies to improve the flexibility of the on-demand provision of heat and electricity will become increasingly important in energy systems with a high proportion of renewable energies. We develop components such as high-temperature storage systems, create overall concepts and simulate their use.
Energy storage systems

Energy storage systems will be a key issue for our future energy supply system. The energy transition will only be successful if the electricity generated can be intelligently stored, converted and transported. With its innovative storage concepts, the SIJ is already making an important contribution to a reliable energy supply.
Efficient building and systems technology

Most of our energy consumption is used to heat, cool, ventilate and light our buildings. The development and realisation of innovative ideas for new and existing buildings as well as for industrial processes is essential for a significant reduction in ourCO2 emissions. Together with partners from planning, industry and building operations, we develop new products, devise and implement new concepts and put demonstration buildings through their paces using our measurement technology.

A sustainable energy supply with a high level of system security can only be achieved through the intelligent interaction of energy generation, consumption, storage and distribution. Our projects, in which model regions are analysed and future scenarios developed with the help of intelligent software, make a contribution to this.
We have also been shaping the climate-neutral energy systems of the future together with the Fraunhofer IEG since 2021.
