Projects

The genesis 3 project supports Hessian startups and scaleups in the field of Green Energy.

The project identifies technical, economic, regulatory and organizational success factors for micro-heating networks and prepares them in modular concepts that provide practical assistance in the planning and implementation of micro-heating networks.

The SGLive project focuses on the digitalization of distribution networks and combines the expertise of three partners. It builds upon the predecessor project "Smart Grid LAB Hessen." The existing laboratory is being expanded by Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences to include active and secure control methods as well as resilient operating concepts. A particular focus is on the development of a cybersecurity architecture. The concepts and methods will then be implemented and evaluated in the laboratory.

The genesis project supports Hessian people interested in starting a business and startups in the green energy sector.

At the initiative of the House of Energy, the two highly innovative Hessian SMEs Ingenieurbüro Pfeffer Energie- und Bauleistungen GmbH and M&L Smarter Solutions AG are working on the new digitalization solution for the design, operation, management and marketing of future electrical distribution networks.

The Interreg project DISCO focuses on the topic of waste heat utilization. Knowledge and experiences from various European regions are exchanged within the project. The goal of Interreg Europe projects is to improve regional policy instruments based on this exchange.

The ECOBoost project aims to help small and micro-enterprises (MSEs) in the accommodation and catering sector overcome barriers to increasing their energy efficiency by developing an Energy Transition Navigator (ETN). To this end, project partners from five European countries are collaborating in seven pilot regions. The consortium is working with the respective regional networks and pilot companies to develop best practices, action plans, and support measures that will facilitate the long-term implementation of energy efficiency measures in the companies, even beyond the pilot regions.

The project aims to develop energy management system solutions in business parks where small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) invest jointly to increase energy efficiency and the consumption of renewable energy and to reduce grid congestion.

The project will build a mobile carbonate looping (CaL) pilot plant to capture CO₂ from exhaust gases from various industrial plants and deploy it at five different sites of energy-intensive industries.

The aim of the “LESS is more” project was to support the sustainable thinking and actions of Kassel residents with an app developed for this purpose and to integrate regional climate protection projects.

A project to develop concepts for building a needs-based combined parking and charging infrastructure in urban areas and especially in parking garages.

The STEPS project focused on energy storage and energy systems in North West Europe (NWE). Research and industry partners from various countries strengthened the innovation performance and competitiveness of new storage providers in NWE.

Using a holistic approach, the project creates more security for infrastructure operators in the energy supply and achieves the greatest possible resistance to attacks from outside. Based on the security needs, legal rules are examined taking into account the legal framework and the need for regulation.

Development of a self-adaptive management system for charging electric vehicles using artificial intelligence.

The project took place as part of the HyLand competition – Hydrogen Regions in Germany, in which Northern Hesse was selected as a HyExpert region to create an implementable overall concept.

Using the example of the Kassel university campus “Holländischer Platz”, the project investigated how the transformation towards a largely climate-neutral university campus can be achieved by 2030.

A real-world laboratory has been built to test active control methods in the intelligent power grid and all required functionalities under practical conditions.

Development and evaluation of innovative energy supply systems using the example of the new building at the Fraunhofer Institute for Energy Economics and Energy System Technology in Kassel

The Interreg Europe projects promote the exchange of experience between participating regions in the EU with the aim of optimising the topic-related use of regional funding. In the SMEPlus project, funding instruments were to be used to increase energy efficiency in small and medium-sized enterprises.

Based on evaluations of the scenario analyses, recommendations for action were derived for building users, planners and decision-makers at various levels in politics and business.

Setting up a real-world laboratory for electromobility to gain valuable insights into charging behavior and requirements for network expansion for the optimal development of the electricity network of the future.

Conception and model implementation of a regional flexibility market. As a prototype, this ensures the system integration of the powerful and fluctuating range of renewable energies at a decentralized level.

Development of a model for an energy supply in northern Hesse based 100% on renewable energies.
