The COSYS lab is an interdisciplinary research center that specializes in the development of future energy systems. The focus is on researching carbon-neutral and cyber-secure integrated energy systems.
In order to coordinate and monitor the operation of multi-sector energy systems efficiently and flexibly it requires innovative and integrated concepts for control and instrumentation. In this context, the complexity of multi-energy systems needs new methodological approaches to operation and control with reliable quality, robustness and cyber security properties. The development and demonstration of technologies for these challenges are the focus of the interdisciplinary Control Systems and Cyber Security Lab.
