Left: grid planned according to conventional principles with many voltage band violations (blue dots). Right Planning the same grid with time series leads to significantly fewer predicted voltage band violations.
Due to increased sector coupling loads in low voltage distribution are raising fastly, which results in a challenging grid reinforcement task. Precise grid modelling may at least avoid unnecessary grid expansion. Therefore, a realistic, spatially localized, time-series-based modeling of the low-voltage grid under the consideration of operational management is developed. | Duration: 01/2024 - 12/2026

Illustration of building-integrated PV modules with integrated insulation and cabling.
The majority of the building stock in Germany is in need of energy-efficient refurbishment - the annual refurbishment rate is less than 1%. In order to achieve the climate policy targets in the construction sector, an energy renovation rate of well over 2% per year and a rapid switch to renewable energy sources in building operation are required. In addition, considerable increases in efficiency in production are necessary. The Fraunhofer lead project "Bau-DNS" aims to significantly increase productivity in the construction industry, particularly in building refurbishment, and at the same time create the conditions for cost reductions. Three parallel process strands are being pursued, which are highly interdependent and must therefore be optimized simultaneously: the consistent use of data, the design of sustainable processes and the systemic production of components. | Duration: 01/2023 - 12/2026

Segmented along the channel test cell for the investigation of locally-resolved mass transport phenomena in PEM electrolysis.
The aim of the StacIE project, which is part of the H2Giga hydrogen lead project, is to continue developing PEM electrolysis technology, both at component level and at subsystem level. The focus here is on increasing the efficiency and service life of the stack system and the individual components. In addition, manufacturing costs are to be reduced and production processes suitable for series production are to be further developed. Fraunhofer ISE is focusing on the analysis of the flow-conducting components with ex-situ investigations, the development and analysis of a newly designed along-the-channel PEM electrolysis test cell and the characterization of the short stacks developed in the project. | Duration: 04/2021 - 05/2025

AEM laboratory electrolysis cell (4 cm²) developed at Fraunhofer ISE for measuring catalysts under industrially relevant conditions and under the integration of external magnetic fields.
As part of the EU-funded SpinCat project, Fraunhofer ISE is investigating novel spin-polarized catalysts to increase the efficiency of AEM electrolysis. These innovative catalysts are being developed and tested in an international consortium and then measured at Fraunhofer ISE using our own specially designed hardware.. | Duration: 06/2021 - 05/2025
