Shaping the energy transition

Making our energy system climate-friendly is an immense challenge and affects society as a whole. Scientists at our university contribute to finding new solutions. Here we present examples of their research – from wind physics to innovation sociology.

The grid is key

Renewable energy sources do not constantly supply the same amount of electricity – a challenge for the power grids. Here, energy informatics expert Sebastian Lehnhoff talks about smart solutions and preparing the grids for the future.
