About us
Our department stands for innovation and research in the field of sustainable energy systems with a high share of renewable energies. With technical and economic optimization, we are shaping the energy supply of the future - safely, efficiently and sustainably.
In close cooperation with the Fraunhofer IEE, we offer research, teaching and development in a dynamic ecosystem that opens up valuable opportunities for students and partner companies.
Research focuses and cooperations
In cooperation with the Fraunhofer IEE, grid operators and other partners from industry and research, we develop solutions for a sustainable energy supply.
Our focus is on the planning and operational management of power grids with a high share of renewable energies.
Our department is organized into eight research groups and can already proudly present numerous relevant developments.
We implement these research focuses together with the Fraunhofer IEE, which includes the supervision of student theses and doctorates, joint research projects and the provision of special courses by Fraunhofer scientists.
Historical background
The department was founded in September 2012 with the name "Energy Management and Power System Operation" as part of the Competence Center for Decentralized Electrical Energy Supply Technology (KDEE) and has been renamed “Sustainable Electrical Energy Systems” since 1 November 2024.
