Welcome
The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE conducts research on the technology needed to supply energy efficiently and on an environmentally sound basis in industrialised, threshold and developing countries. To this purpose, the Institute develops systems, components, materials and processes in the areas of the thermal use of solar energy, solar building, solar cells, electrical power supplies, chemical energy conversion, energy storage and the rational use of energy.
The Institute's work ranges from fundamental scientific research relating to solar energy applications, through the development of production technology and prototypes, to the construction of demonstration systems. The Institute plans, advises and provides know-how and technical facilities as services.

Intelligent Energy Management in Smart Grids - Fraunhofer ISE coordinates project for an integrated communication concept
The increasing amount of renewable energies being integrated into our electricity grid requires new management and ICT concepts. In addition to the chances of active participation in the energy markets and reducing electricity costs, a decrease in peak loads is also made possible through the intelligent use of renewable energies. The requirements of a grid management and the necessary communication technology are high. Under the coordination of Fraunhofer ISE, it will now be demonstrated for the first time how all of the features of a so-called Smart Grid can be realized by using an integrated Smart Metering concept.
