Fraunhofer ISE Details System Integration Efforts in Energy Transition Towards Zero Emissions with Multi-Domain Simulations and Flexibility Strategies

At Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE, we focus on integrating various energy technologies as part of the energy transition. Our work includes photovoltaic (PV) and solar projects but has expanded to cover system integration incorporating PV, hydrogen, thermal systems, grids, and electronics. The goal is to manage the flexibility between different sectors such as electricity grids and local heat grids for a comprehensive defossilization strategy. This effort aligns with broader European initiatives like FIT455 and the Green Deal aimed at reducing emissions through emission trading systems. Our approach involves multi-domain simulation tools like REMOTE that evaluate entire energy systems covering sources, storages, flexibilities, and consumption sectors. These simulations help in planning from today till 2045 by emphasizing strong electrification processes across various sectors including agriculture, transport buildings, industry. Achievements include reaching over 50% renewables in Germany’s electricity grid. Flexibility remains crucial due to fluctuations in renewable sources like wind and solar energy; hence backup solutions involving gas or hydrogen power plants are essential for stabilizing future supply-demand dynamics within our integrated system framework.

Talk of session: Powering Tomorrow: E-Mobility Integration and Its Impact on Grids

Explore the integration and impact of e-mobility on power grids. Join us for a deep-dive into the seamless integration of electric mobility with power systems and discuss challenges, breakthroughs, and the crucial role of smart grids. Learn about effective strategies for large-scale e-mobility deployment, drawing insights from AVERE's advocacy of sustainable transportation. Examine the transformative effects of e-mobility adoption on grids and infrastructure, discuss resilience, capacity planning and adaptive measures. The focus will be on three key areas: e-mobility power system integration, e-mobility deployment strategies, and their impact on the grid and infrastructure.
