Summary and targets
The increasing share of renewable energy in power supply and its foreseen growth beyond 40% in Germany and Denmark, although socio-politically consensual and environmentally meaningful, may also mean more fluctuation in electricity generation if the issue of energy storage is not resolved.
Although many appropriate solutions are being successfully applied, Long term energy storage is still an issue of high priority for scientists and developers from industry, as attested by the numerous national and international large scale research programs and/or calls on this theme.
The current project shall contribute to the development and application of electrochemical supercapacitors as an effective, flexible and secure system of energy storage in the southern Denmark-Schleswig-Holstein border region. Such development is even more urgent in view of the fact that a great part of renewable energies, especially wind energy, is produced in this region. In addition, photovoltaic generated energy gets more and more important in Denmark, and in the next years Denmark and Germany will intensify their focus on the expansion of electromobility that could use supercapacitor technology.
Other important aspects of this project rely on education of students and their integration in the research work in order to respond to the shortage of engineers and scientists in the border region. Further, institutional exchange of students and staff will be intensified for better regional and European integration.
