Completed Projects
System analysis of transport solutions for green hydrogen (TransHyDE)
Funded by: Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)
Project duration: Mid 2021 – 31.03.2025
Cooperation: More than 20 project partners from science and research institutions & 8 associated partners from the energy industry.
TransHyDE is one of the three German flagship projects on hydrogen, which represent a central contribution of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) to the implementation of the National Hydrogen Strategy. Taken together, they represent the largest funding initiative of the Federal Ministry of Research on the subject of the energy transition to date. They make a decisive contribution to Germany's entry into the hydrogen economy.

Intelligente Digitalisierung der Energieversorgung zur Optimierung des Netzbetriebs und zur Erhöhung der Akzeptanz (IDiNA)
Funded by: Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi)
Cooperation: Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg (OVGU), OFFIS e.V., PSI Software AG, SWW Wunsiedel GmbH, SWH Stadtwerke Haßfurt GmbH, Es-geht! Energiesysteme GmbH
Publicly available information for medium and high-voltage power supply units
Funded by: Partners from the industry
Project duration: 01.05.2024 - 30.09.2024
The project focuses on the collection of comprehensive data to create an accessible and user-friendly database on medium and high voltage grid projects. This includes detailed information on grid components such as overhead lines/underground cables in AC/DC voltage, transformers, grid amplifiers and converter stations, covering aspects of geographical region, dimensions, electrical parameters, manufacturers and costs, which include publicly available sources. The collected raw data is structured in a database with an intuitive interface that allows the user to search for the relevant components and their costs.
