Project insights: Research for the energy transition

DLR has a technology platform for testing and further developing fuel- and load-flexible micro gas turbines that is the only one of its kind.

Grey emissions can be measured and limited more effectively: researchers in the KEA-Bauwerk project are developing basic principles  to reduce energy

Wind turbines: For the first time, the condition of the towers' surfaces can be assessed solely on the basis of digital data.

The Therakles simulation software calculates thermal transport processes in individual thermal zones in buildings.

Cities could be so much more energy efficient: waste heat produced by industrial plants could be used to heat buildings in place of fossil fuels.

In Freiberg, the performance of two single-family homes conceived as energy self-sufficient buildings is being scientifically investigated.

In the Hamburg district of Wilhelmsburg, it is shown how regenerative heat can be generated and distributed in urban areas.

The spectacular new central building for Leuphana University Lüneburg interprets energy-optimised construction in a different way.

With the new-build scheme, Erfurt University of Applied Sciences is expanding its traditional “green campus” with a particularly energy-efficient...
