The ReFlex project aims at developing a replicability guideline for the deployment of technologically feasible, market based and user-friendly solutions for smart grids with a high level of flexibility. The focus was put on smart grid pilot projects with high level of renewable energy production, which are effectively and efficiently used locally through mixes of measures from voltage regulation, demand response, energy management and storage. Drawing on the learning experience among ReFlex partners, replicability-guidelines were elaborated to support the demo regions and the wider group of European smart grid stakeholders in deploying and advancing their smart grid initiatives. The project released the ReFlex Guidebook, a document that includes guidelines for the replicability of solutions for flexible smart grids. Weiterlesen

Um das Stromnetz und dessen Kopplung mit dem Gas- und Wärmenetz besser verstehen zu können, bauen die ETH Zürich, das Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) und die Empa eine gemeinsame Forschungsplattform auf. Diese trägt den Namen ReMaP, was für «Renewable Management and Real-Time Control Platform» steht. Weiterlesen






Worldwide Living Labs are increasingly adopted to address urban challenges. They are projects or experiments devised to design, test and learn from innovative socio-technical practices (i.e. “new ways of doing something”), with a diversity of stakeholders and in real-life conditions. However, they tend to focus on small-scale performance tests or technology-user interactions, and are mostly neglecting the larger social-institutional context that surrounds them. Weiterlesen






Die Energiestrategie 2050 hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, die Jahresnutzung der Bioenergie auf 27‘800 Gigawattstunden bis im Jahr 2050 fast zu verdoppeln. Eine erfolgreiche Umsetzung dieses Ziels erfordert eine Priorisierung von Projekten in Regionen mit reichlichen Bioenergie-Ressourcen. Weiterlesen






After three successful experiences, the Laboratory of Architecture and Sustainable Technologies (LAST) of the Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) organizes a new competition for students in architecture, called “Sustainable is beautiful”. Weiterlesen






Mechanics – the key to unlocking subsurface resources for energy supply and storage
The International Symposium on Energy Geotechnics organized by EPFL’s Laboratory of Soil Mechanics brought together more than 250 research scientists and practitioners from 35 countries at the Swiss Tech Convention Centre in Lausanne to exchange ideas, practices and state-of-the-art developments.

Dans le cadre de la campagne «Moins d’électricité, davantage d’efficacité dans les salles de serveurs et les centres de calcul» une conférence s’est déroulée à Berne le 25 septembre dernier. 150 personnes ont répondu à l’invitation de l’Association Suisse des Télécommunications (asut) et de SuisseEnergie. Les présentations, qui ont abordé le sujet sous différents angles, s’adressaient aussi bien à un public technique que financier. Voici l’essentiel en bref. Weiterlesen






Energy-efficiency gap, Bounded rationality and energy-related financial literacy






After the COP21 Paris Agreement, we wonder how to translate a maximum rise of global average temperatures to 2 °C let alone limiting the increase to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels. The energy sector (even major oil and gas companies) is gearing up to the challenge. A must-have mitigation technology is CCS, which prevents the release of large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. The technology captures CO2 produced by industrial plants, compresses it for transportation and then injects it deep into a rock formation at carefully selected and safe sites for quasi-permanent storage.
