Climate change is a global challenge, which requires solutions on local, national and international levels. In this new section of our website, we share project results, publications and information, which go beyond the “Energiewende” in our core markets Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

In more than 70 years of energy system analysis, we have acquired a broad set of transferable skills and knowledge, which address challenges related to the international energy transition. Project types with international focus range from short-term consulting to long-term research projects and include topics such as European energy system analysis or the adaptation and transfer of processes from Germany to other European markets.

Ongoing international projects:

• eXtremOS (FfE GmbH / FfE e. V.) – Value of flexibility in the context of European electricity market coupling with extreme technological, regulatory and social developments
• Synergy II

Past international projects:

• EU Displacement Mix  – A simplified marginal approach to determining the environmental impacts of coupled heat and power technologies
• Nodal Pricing (German site / English site )
• Standard load profiles for Romania

Planned content for this section:

• Uncertainties in energy statistics data – Causes and effects of deviating energy balances
• Application-related emission balances (January 2020)
• Basic European energy production and consumption data (January 2020)
• European Electrification Profiles (February 2020)
• Electrification vs. vRES – comparison of vRES potentials vs. electrical final energy consumption after electrification (February 2020)

Publications with an international perspective on energy system analysis:

• Electrification decarbonization efficiency in Europe – a case study for the industry sector
• Potentials of Variable Renewable Energy Sources and "Low-Hanging Fruits" Electrification in Europe
• System effects of high demand‐side electrification rates: A scenario analysis for Germany in 2030
• Comparison of Integration Studies of 30-40 percent Energy Share from Variable Renewable Sources
• Generating energy carrier specific space heating and hot water load profiles at NUTS-3-level in Europe. In: 11. IEWT, Wien, 2019
