Research Projects

Aufbauend auf dem Datenbestand des von 1988bis 1997 am ISET betriebenen Online-InformationssystemsISEE sowie auf den umfangreichen Auswertungenund Messdaten des WMEP wurde imMai 1997 die erste Version im „Renewable EnergyInformation System on Internet - REISI“ (TechnologiebereichWindenergie) fertiggestellt. 1998 wurdedas REISI um den Technologiebereich Solarenergie(Photovoltaikanlagen) erweitert.

About 40% of final energy consumption in Germany will take place in and around buildings. Heating, cooling, hot water and the operation of electric devices are doing the most important areas - in the future probably also increasingly electric vehicles. The Open Gateway Energy Management Alliance (OGEMA) is an open software platform for energy management in this area.

The project comprises the development and testing of a novel pumped storage concept for storing large amounts of electrical energy offshore. This marine pumped storage concept utilizes the sea itself as upper storage reservoir and a hollow sphere on the seabed as the lower storage reservoir. Water is being pumped out of the sphere during pumping/charging operation and water flows back into the sphere and drives a turbine coupled to a generator during generation/discharging operation.

The FLOATGEN project aims to deliver two floating wind turbine systems for waters with a depth greater than 40 m, utilising state of the art EU technologies in order to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of fitting a 2 MW turbine model on a ring-shaped surface-floating platform and a 3 MW turbine on a semi-submersible structure.

The aim of this project is the design and implementation of an interactive web-based GIS (Geographical Information System) mapping application on the OES website.
