A supply system learns how to think and make decisions.
The Competence Center for Cognitive Energy Systems (K-ES) has been dealing with cognitive processes for energy system technology, energy economics and power grids since mid-2020. Over the next ten years, we intend to develop an international focus on artificial intelligence in research and teaching in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Energy Economics and Energy System Technology IEE. Key elements:
coLAB
- Laboratory for the development and use of cognitive energy systems
- Focus on research collaborations
- Maintaining and expanding scientific excellence
coHUB
- Development and maintenance of an ecosystem
- Development of a community for cognitive energy systems
- Promoting promising innovations

Ecosystem
Maintaining a close relationship with the energy industry is part of the concept: The K-ES’s services for energy companies include consulting and concept studies from prototypes through to turnkey systems. Since this ecosystem thrives on the cooperation of theory and practice, we are looking forward to hearing from industry stakeholders.
