The Fraunhofer IAO Micro Smart Grid enables sustainable and efficient energy supply

The Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO is exploring how to efficiently coordinate energy producers, storage systems, and consumers as well as how to test the innovative technologies required. The Institute, based in Stuttgart in Germany, is using its own micro smart grid and control systems. Housing 30 charging spots for electric vehicles, the Institute’s research parking garage is Europe’s fastest high-speed charging station, as well as being Europe’s first hydrogen storage system based on LOHC technology.

The entire vehicle power supply for the parking garage is produced by a photovoltaic system located on the roof the parking garage. A lithium-ion battery storage system is able to achieve the best possible balance between the differences in energy production and consumption. All components are operated under scientific supervision and real-life conditions, making it possible for the researchers to test different application scenarios in a realistic setting.
