Where is the energy transition heading? What role do renewable energies play? How do we store energy? What do smart energy systems do?

These and other questions will be the focus of the Salon of Sciences this coming Wednesday (6 November) from 6 pm at the Chemnitz Industrial Museum. Interested members of the public will have the opportunity to engage in conversation with experts from a wide range of fields relating to sustainable energy generation and supply. Following a brief introduction and a keynote talk, four discussion sessions, each lasting 15 minutes, will provide the chance to discuss, ask questions and exchange views.

Among those taking part is René Härtel from the ifem (Institute for Energy Management) at our Faculty of Industrial Engineering.

‘Using energy cleverly: locally generated, smartly stored, sustainably consumed’ – this could be the slogan for his area of expertise.

How can we create a reliable and sustainable energy supply through smart technologies and decentralised concepts? This is one of the key questions being explored by the WINNER Final project. The project is currently being carried out at ifem by René Härtel.

Within the overall project, approaches to the intelligent use of bidirectionally charging electric vehicles in a micro smart grid for neighbourhoods are not only examined theoretically but also implemented as examples on demonstrators.

The aim of the sub-project being carried out at ifem is to develop a modern and modularly expandable load management system that meets the housing sector’s current requirements for controlling loads within neighbourhoods. In particular, the system is designed to address the challenges posed by the transition to electric mobility in order to provide the necessary charging capacity.

Rene Härtel says of the event: “I am attending the event because I am very keen to hear the questions and topics raised by the guests. I am looking forward to a constructive exchange so that I can incorporate new ideas and perspectives into my research.”

The event is free of charge, but registration is requested.

From 4 pm on the day of the event, you can visit the exhibition ‘Power2Change: Mission Energy Transition’ free of charge, subject to registration.
