Cluster of Excellence Integrated Energy Systems

The focus of the Cluster of Excellence CINES is on the central technological and economic challenges of the energy transition.  

The goal is the system and market integration of high shares of of variable renewables into the energy system. To this end, we at CINES conduct analyses of a wide variety of systems, research and develop essential technologies, and develop solutions for the successful communication of the energy transition. Furthermore, we are very active in the field of science-based policy consulting.

At CINES we work across institutes to develop solutions for the energy system transformation - comprehensive, cross-sectoral energy systems analysis, digital solutions for the energy transition, as well as decisive advances in electrolysis, power electronics, heat and successful communication of the energy transition.
