A special research expedition recently took a team from Oldenburg to a stretch of sea north of Heligoland. The researchers had to overcome some unusual challenges amongst the huge turbines of an offshore wind farm.

Our power grids could soon be operated by smart and explainable AI systems. A junior research group led by Eric Veith is investigating how to provide the best possible training to ensure an optimal response in critical situations.

The master’s programme Sustainable Renewable Energy Technologies collaborates closely with partner universities in Ghana and Colombia. Working together in a living lab, students are planning ways to supply remote communities with renewable energy.

First-generation solar modules built back in the 1970s are still generating electricity today. In a new study, the output of some of the modules was measured.

The university aims to be climate neutral by 2030. An integrated climate protection concept provides the framework for this ambitious plan.

Running a university at a time when energy resources are scarce is a challenging task. In this interview Jörg Stahlmann, Vice President of the university, talks about the top priorities for the winter semester and new opportunities regarding the university's goal of climate neutrality.

Generating electricity with solar panels, applying LEDs as lighting or using waste heat - there are many possibilities for obtaining energy from renewable sources or reducing the consumption of electricity and gas on campus.

Use electricity and heat as economically as possible – if we can do that, we will get through the winter well on campus. Everyone can contribute to this. Tips for the office, the seminar room, the laboratory and the kitchenette.

The University has set itself the goal of becoming climate neutral. This goal was turned into a project. The first milestone has already been reached: the working group Climate Neutral University presented a Greenhouse Gas Balance.
