Energy System
Supplying energy requires more than just power plants. Energy must be "generated" - actually just converted from a physical point of view - harmonized to specific voltage levels, transported and distributed. Read interesting technical articles by these authors here:

Power Plants
Power plants are at the beginning of the energy systems chain. They provide energy as it is needed for use. The section highlights technologies such as PV, CHP, hydropower, wind, and others with their advantages and disadvantages. Read technical articles by these authors here:

Heat Turnaround
The total energy demand of a society can be roughly divided into three areas: Electricity, Heat and Transport. Usually, however, the heat sector is neglected. The "heat turnaround" section presents corresponding trends and technologies. Read technical articles by these authors here:

Energy Storage (Temporal Energy Shift)
Conventional energy sources have inherent storage: They are available in the form of chemical bonds. Separate storage technologies are needed for photovoltaic or wind energy. The "Energy Storage" section discusses various technologies. Read technical articles by these authors here:
Dr. Klaus Hassmann, Petra Dotzauer, Anika Regett, Christoph Pellinger, Prof. Dr. Jochen Fricke
Electric Grids
The point of generation and the point of consumption of an energy system are rarely identical. The electric grid connects the two. This section discusses the requirements and objectives. Read technical articles by these authors here:
Philipp Nobis, Sebastian Fischhaber, Prof. Dr.-.Ing. Christian Rehtanz, Prof. Dr. Jochen Fricke, Volker Wiegand, Dr. Klaus Hassmann
Renewable Energy
Renewable energy is the future of energy supply. In order to continue to ensure a stable power supply, it is necessary to know their different characteristics compared to conventional technologies. In this section, read technical articles by the authors:

Energy economics considerations
In addition to the technical provision and distribution of energy, the trade in energy plays an important role. The Energy Economics Considerations section highlights different perspectives.
The Energy Technology Cluster's "Energiewende" blog provides information on key building blocks of the energy transition in short and generally understandable technical articles. Renowned authors present the current state of the art and its prospects for the future from the perspective of business and science. In addition, the experts also address the overall energy industry contexts.
The focus is on the "electricity turnaround" and important topics related to the "heat turnaround". The contributions highlight in particular the centralized and decentralized power generation including combined heat and power, conventional and renewable energies, storage and distribution and the transport of electric power. Both proven and new technologies that have not yet established themselves on the market and the status of research and development are reported.
The contributions are aimed at a broad group of people with an interest in the diverse contexts of the energy transition. The articles are intended to objectify the discussions about the energy transition and contribute to the personal opinion formation of the readers.
With this platform, the Energy Technology Cluster would also like to encourage those responsible in the federal states to act together in shaping the energy transition. The portal is open for new articles and will be continuously supplemented. All articles are subject to regular revision.
