Summary: | The CyberStress project deals with the question of how the resilience of the power grid to cyber-attacks can be defined, measured, monitored and enforced. Therefore model-based stress tests will be developed and the resilience of the energy system will be tested using various test scenarios. |

Summary: | The purpose of TRR 154 is to provide answers to the questions and challenges of efficient gas supply by means of mathematical modeling, simulation and optimization, and thus to offer solutions at a new quality standard. In order to achieve this, new findings in different areas within mathematics, such as mathematical modeling, numerical analysis and simulation as well as integer, continuous and stochastic optimization are necessary. |

Summary: | The Darmstadt Energy Lab for Technology in Application (DELTA) will operate as a model for the urban energy transition to demonstrate interacting energy-optimized neighborhoods. In the Reallabor DELTA, the aim is to demonstrate that the technically proven potentials for increasing the energy efficiency and flexibility of urban quarters are economically feasible and that these are also socially accepted. |

Summary: | Climate change poses major challenges for our society. In order to achieve the transformation to a climate-neutral energy supply, the energy systems must be massively expanded or converted. At the same time, permissible operation must be ensured at all times. One building block for mastering these challenges is model-based expansion and conversion planning in combination with integrated operational planning. |

Summary: | The aim of the KI4ETA research project is to make a disruptive contribution to the way to CO2-free production of the future. To achieve this, the energy efficiency gap in industry must be closed, which describes the difference between technically feasible and previously realized potential. In the KI4ETA project, an integrated, platform-based approach based on artificial intelligence (AI) is being pursued. |

Summary | The aim of the project is to develop a universal and hybrid drive concept for passenger cars that combines ecological and economic attractiveness. In doing so, the advantages of long-distance capable all-electric vehicles (BEV) as well as strengths of current plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) are considered. |

Summary | In the joint research project “Electric drive cooperation and energy system for heavy commercial vehicles – evTrailer2”, a consortium from industry and science is working on advances in the driving safety of heavy articulated lorries weighing over twelve tonnes. The project also aims to achieve a further reduction in CO2 emissions by integrating on-board solar modules, autonomous manoeuvring without a tractor unit, for example in a trailer park, and preparing the energy storage system for high-power charging at charging points or overhead lines. |

Summary: | Because of the limited potential of renewable heat sources, low-CO2 heat will be provided by electrified heat generation (power-to-heat). Since heat can be stored relatively and inexpensive, this creates a large potential for flexibility in electricity demand. An essential tool for gaining this flexibility potential is provided by heating networks. The EnEff:Wärme – MeFlexWärme project is developing new concepts and methods for the three research areas “Network Transparency”, “flexibility control” and “mathematical optimization”, each in relation to heating networks. |

Summary: | Flywheel mass storage systems (SMS) can play a key role in the energy transition. They enable a secure and affordable power supply through advantages in the number of cycles that can be achieved at low power-specific costs. The aim is to develop the technology to an energy storage system closely to the market. Therefore, the reduction in acquisition costs and an increase in availability is considered so far. However, the improvement in the efficiency of the innovative, highly integrated system is also necessary. |
