Energy: More than Generating Power

Solutions for a sustainable and yet affordable energy supply

• Towards Zero Power: reducing the energy requirements of systems and sensors (low power consumption and minimizing power losses)
• Energy Harvesting: technologies and systems for using energy of the ambient (like heat, light or motion) for the supply of electronic systems

Energy: Two distinct topics with different communities
 

Smart Energy: Materials, devices, components and system solutions for the transformation of the energy system („Energiewende“) along the energy value chain

• Intelligent Energy System (e.g. digital, distributed, balanced)
• Smart Grid (e.g. automated, resilient), Energy Storage (e.g. stationary battery systems,
  reserve capacity, battery management systems, H2/Methane infrastructure)
• Renewable Energy Systems (e.g. power electronics for wind/PV and EV, grid integration)
• Intelligent Demand Management (e.g. smart metering, load monitoring incl. ML/DL methods)
  
  

Energy Efficiency: Low Power Solutions for all vertical industries/application fields

• Energy efficient Hardware for AI
• Energy Harvesting Technologies
• Energy Efficient Data Centers (e.g. DC-Grid, optical), Digital Factories (e.g. energy performance)
• Low Power Transmission Technologies (e.g. LiFi)
• New Power Electronics Materials (e.g. AlGaN/GaN based converters)
