The project for CO2-neutral energy supply in Herzogenrath, the first city in NRW to strive for this goal, is accompanied by a consortium of four chairs and institutes, including the Chair of Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage Systems Technology.
Herzogenrath wants to achieve CO2-neutral energy supply by 2030. A consortium of Siemens Energy, RWTH Aachen University, Aachen University of Applied Sciences and the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences is conducting research on the project “Energy Park Herzogenrath Research & Development”, which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection with 2.7 million euros. The project is also closely interlinked with other ongoing research and funding projects: at the local flat glass manufacturer Saint Gobain, CO2-free production is being researched, in which the Chair of Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage Systems Technology at the E.ON Energy Research Center (ERC) of RWTH Aachen University is involved. The aim is to recycle the heat generated during glass production in Herzogenrath and Kerkrade in the Netherlands as green heating energy.
The project uses a digital twin that virtually maps and simulates the energy supply. In this way, different scenarios can be tested and optimised. The project looks at generation, consumption and marketing options across sectors. RWTH is receiving around 918,000 euros in funding for this.

SOGNO – Service Oriented Grid for the Network of the Future
Institute for Automation of Complex Power Systems
RWTH Aachen University recently had a major role in the EU project „Service Oriented Grid for the Network of the Future“ (SOGNO). RWTH was represented by the Institute of Automation of Complex Power Systems (ACS), the Institute of Theoretical Information Technology (TI), and the Chair of Management Accounting. Moreover, Prof. Monti and Dr. Marco Pau from the Institute of Automation of Complex Power Systems served as technical managers of the project, thus coordinating the technical activities within the consortium.
The project SOGNO aims at developing a new concept of distribution grid management, based on the use of 5G communication, advanced deep learning techniques, and cloud virtualization to provide the intelligence needed to control future smart grids as a service for distribution system operators.
Project ERIGrid 2.0 – validation approach for intelligent energy networks in the electrical sector

In April this year, the second version of the “ERIGrid 2.0” project of the Institute for Automation of Complex Power Systems at the E.ON Research Center was launched.
Its full name is as complex as the four-year project as “ERIGrid 2.0” stands for “European Research Infrastructure supporting Smart Grid and Smart Energy Systems Research, Technology Development, Validation and Roll Out – Second Edition”.
Professor Antonello Monti’s team is working on the holistic and cyberphysics-based validation approach for intelligent energy networks in the electrical sector. ERIGrid 2.0 provides support and training at system level for industrial and academic research and technology development for energy systems.
