Section overview
Description
ZAE Bayern works on the interface between evidence-based fundamental and applied industrial research. Every year the institute performs a great number of projects with the industry, from SME to large groups, as well as with university and non-university research partners. Since the foundation, ZAE has strengthened its competences consistently. Today it offers a wide spectrum of research, development and consulting services, metrological services and seminars in the areas of energy efficiency, energy storage and renewable energies. The core competences of ZAE are energy efficiency, energy storage and renewable energies. In these areas ZAE deals, amongst other things, with thermal and electrochemical energy storage, energy optimised buildings and urban quarters, energy efficient processes, photovoltaics, solar thermal and geothermal systems, metrology, nano materials, smart grids and energy systems. Competence in materials science, theoretical understanding, and development of components and finally optimisation of the same within energy systems creates a continuous, knowledge- based chain of value. Our integrative approach to these individual focuses facilitates the task of finding effective solutions to increase energy efficiency and boost the use of renewable energy sources. Projects realised at the institute take advantage of interdivisional cooperation and benefit from the competences within the close network of research groups within each division. Education is a further pillar of ZAE Bayern’s activities; around 20 graduands, master- and bachelor students, as well as trainees completed their degree-, master- and bachelor thesis, or project work in 2014.
