Energy
From individual building to system – self-sufficiency, grid relief, climate protection
Buildings are not isolated units, but part of a superordinate, sector-coupled energy and usage system. Therefore, we do not focus on optimising individual measures, but on model-based analysis of the overall system. We investigate the interactions between electricity, heat, storage, load profiles and grid infrastructure at building, district and cell level and develop reliable concepts for investment, operation and long-term transformation. The basis of this approach is a cellular energy model in which local energy cells balance generation, conversion, storage and consumption as regionally as possible and interact with neighbouring cells and superordinate grids via defined interfaces. On this basis, technically precise and economically reliable solutions emerge that systematically integrate decentralised renewable energies, make flexibilities usable across sectors and sustainably strengthen the performance of districts. Studies on sector-integrated district approaches show that optimisation at district level can unlock significant advantages in terms of efficiency and economy compared to a purely building-by-building approach. At the same time, research on cellular energy systems demonstrates that locally organised and intelligently coordinated cell structures can make a significant contribution to resilience, grid compatibility and security of supply. The result is pragmatic, future-proof energy concepts that bring together climate protection, technical robustness and economic viability in a consistent overall system.
