Energy Systems of Tomorrow

created on 09 Mar 2009

This sub-programme of the programme "Technologies for Sustainable Development" focuses on research and development questions pertaining to renewable energy sources and energy efficiency, paying special attention to aspects of an efficient overall system. Crucial to this is the exploration of innovations on the following three levels:

• Structural innovations: changes in structure and systems, system behaviour, basic conditions,

• Social innovations: changes in user behaviour dependent on knowledge, attitudes and lifestyle,

• Technological innovations: developments in key areas of the entire spectrum from primary energy sources to energy services,

• An important quality criterion applicable to all projects to be financed is their potential to make significant contributions to an intelligent overall system solution.
