Flexible and efficient energy use
Flexible and efficient energy use
Both the residential and industrial sectors are major energy consumers. Significant flexibility and efficiency increasement as well as energy savings are needed through optimized control, new materials, components, and processes in addition to the need for behaviour and user acceptance of the new technologies and markets. Focus has also to be on Power -2- X and carbon capture and how they can contribute to flexible consumption and enhancement of power grid capacity.
Research areas:
- Energy savings and efficient systems and components in the consumer segment stages, including industry, buildings, and various devices.
- Flexible systems with demand adjusted to production including new power-2-x and carbon capture facilities as well as heat pump and EV integration
- Control and application of digital solutions, such as AI, IoT, and big data.
- Sector coupling and energy market influence on the technical solutions
- Renewable energy production in buildings and the integration of buildings in energy systems.
- Technology use, behaviour and everyday practices.
Did you know...
... that close to 70 per cent of Denmark’s electricity consumption is based on renewable energy.
Collaboration with companies on impact
The film introduces the sustainable focus area Flexible and efficient energy consumption, which carries out research about how the electricity grid can be adapted to flexible and efficient consumption. The research takes place, for example, in the residential and industrial sectors, and the film describes how we collaborate with the company Neogrid Technologies A/S to develop technologies that can increase efficiency and create energy savings.
