Systems Engineering

Systems engineering includes the analysis, implementation, and optimisation of complex energy systems, as well as the integration of technical solutions.

Therein, system analysis serves to evaluate current states and to develop technical variants and future scenarios under ecological and economic aspects. Based on efficient, innovative, and sustainable concepts, potential for optimisation is identified and technical solutions are developed. Finally, in the context of system integration, innovative technologies and components are incorporated and dimensioned.

During all phases of such projects, ZAE provides extensive scientific support: from conception to planning and construction to operational optimisation and success monitoring. Potential use cases include system studies, climate protection concepts, energy supply systems, technical processes, as well as energy-efficient buildings, neighbourhoods and industrial sites.

Our work focuses on:

• Analysis and simulation of systems in feasibility studies
• Development of innovative and renewable energy concepts for
  • Local authorities
  • Residential districts
  • Industrial sites
  • Buildings (new construction and renovation)
• Support in the implementation of municipal and national climate protection goals
• District heating supply from deep geothermal energy and biomass
• Monitoring of plants and buildings (analysis, operational optimisation, performance review)
