Forschungszentrum AZARE

We believe that the availability of electricity and heat in line with demand at any place and at any time is the basis of a functioning industrial society. The existing energy system must be designed to be reliable, stable and secure when integrating weather-dependent forms of energy such as solar and wind in order to achieve social and industrial acceptance. This results in the need for storage in chemical or electrical form and, in particular, raises the question of how the electrical grids can remain stable in times of power peaks and how the grids can be stabilised in times of power lulls.

In view of these issues, azare is developing approaches for infrastructures so that transportation, distribution and storage of electricity, fuels and gas are ecologically and economically feasible.
