Energy Systems

For years, we have been in the middle of the energy transition, which is currently picking up speed once again: Alternative power generation, more efficient use of existing resources, storage locations and media, but above all the utilization and transport of energy are the exciting tasks of our Energy Business Area. The solutions are diverse and decisive for further development.

Because no one knows exactly what tomorrow's energy systems will look like. Will the market remain in the hands of the large energy suppliers or will there be additional, e.g. many small self-suppliers in the future? How do we keep the grids stable and always have enough energy available? Do we create renewable energy worldwide or do we need partial nuclear energy or gas power plants? And then does the e-car or e-heat make sense?

Our specialties

Wind turbines with red rotors are submerged in the sea. The sun is shining.

Renewable energy

Many large metal pipes run through an industrial hall.

Hydrogen

Solar panels are located in the desert. The sun is very bright and stores energy.

Energy storage

A city at night is covered with a digital network.

Power grids

Energy is our drive

To achieve everything

There is still a lot to be done to ensure that the desire to generate only emission-free energy in the future becomes reality. Especially in network planning. As a result of increasingly decentralized power generation, electricity will not only flow unidirectionally from the supplier to the consumer, but increasingly also vice versa. Load peaks are therefore no longer so easy to determine. Ergo, network planning is a mammoth task that we face. Innovative storage options also play a role here - for example, they store surplus electricity temporarily. And the whole thing is best cloud-based.

Help us and our customers solve these big questions of the future. So that the other companies know what drives them.

Our hydrogen expertise

H2 FINITY

Research and testing of a scalable hydrogen powertrain for light and medium aircraft

The project

H2 FINITY realizes a scalable hybrid-electric drive train for the energy carrier hydrogen (H2) for light aircraft. Fuel cells provide the electrical power for the actual flight propulsion. In a pragmatic and practical approach, the aim is to develop a technology that is ready for flight and certification and that can be used quickly and directly for a wide range of aircraft and applications after the end of the project.

A drone with a take-off weight of 25 kg and a wingspan of 3.6 m serves as a test vehicle. The tested and optimized drivetrain will then be further developed to higher performance classes. The end result should be a modular, scalable concept that offers environmentally friendly and quiet flight propulsion for everything from small hydrofoil drones to small aircraft.
