SMOOTH
Simulation of sustainable energy and mobility systemsHow does a smart grid behave during the course of the year? How much CO2 can be saved?

MOEA
Optimization of energy systemsHow can components be optimally assembled and operated to reduce costs and emissions? What is a suitable compromise between various optimization goals, such as minimum CO2 emissions and costs?

NWA
Utility analysisEvaluations of decision alternatives using qualified weightings (Analytical Hierarchy Process)
Which regions are at the forefront of e-mobility? Which locations are suitable for charging infrastructure?

GIS
Analyses with geographic information systemsWhere can a system be used sensibly? How should energy infrastructure be distributed? Which users can be reached? Assessment of renewable resources, application of database systems, modelling of on- and off-grid electrification

MCS
Transferability and robustness analysisHow does an energy system react to changing site conditions? How does a change in the consumption structure affect economic efficiency?
