Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE
The decentralization of the energy system as an important element of the energy transition requires new local energy and organizational structures. We provide answers for their design.
By using intelligent, data-based utilization concepts for flexibility, consumers become flexible energy industry assets. This makes them a solution option for integrating renewable energies into the grid and system. At the same time, decentralized business models and thus economic added value for the players involved are emerging.
In an environment made more complex by the high volatility of renewable energies, sector coupling and a dynamic regulatory framework, we are developing AI-based load forecasts and, on this basis, agile and predictive operational management algorithms that can be used to evaluate a wide range of energy industry use cases from the perspective of stakeholders and systems on the one hand and implement them in reality on the other.
With regard to the effects of energy industry trends on the energy system, we address the consulting needs of our customers, e.g. grid operators and municipal utilities. For technology providers, e.g. manufacturers of electricity storage systems, we provide tools based on scientific methods to further develop their products and business models.
