News from applied energy research

The aim is to develop a solar collector for solar thermal power plants that is suitable for use with silicone-based heat transfer media.

In the Carbosola research project, teams of scientists work on smaller turbomachinery that run on supercritical CO₂.

In the PV2Float research project, floating solar energy plants are tested and further developed.

The electrolysis system installed as part of the “Neue Weststadt” lighthouse project is expected to be 25 % more efficient than conventional systems.

Teams of scientists from all disciplines can conduct research on the FINO platforms.

In the FEUERDRACHE research project, contact burning processes were optimised to produce highly efficient silicon solar cells.

The FINO platforms provide important data and insights for the further expansion of offshore wind energy.

In a newly launched research project, researchers want to improve the manufacturing equipment for coating silicon perovskite tandem solar cells.

Through its “Renovation Wave” strategy, the European Commission is aiming to double the rate of energy-efficient renovations in the next ten years.
