Wie integrieren wir mehr PV systemverträglich?
Das White Paper von Swissgrid wurde veröffentlicht, um diese Frage zu klären. Die Forschungsstelle Energienetze (FEN) freut sich, an dieser gemeinsamen Initiative mitgewirkt zu haben.
Zwei wissenschaftliche Beiträge auf Basis von Szenarioanalysen zur Winterstromversorgung und den Netzauswirkungen
Die Forschungsstelle Energienetze (FEN) durften zwei zentrale wissenschaftliche Analysen zu diesen Publikationen beitragen: (i) Szenarioanalyse mit Fokus auf die Winterstromversorgung (ii) Die Auswirkungen der Energieszenarien auf die Verteilnetze
Was bringen Batteriespeicher für das Verteilnetz?
Der Artikel von FEN über die Nutzen von Batteriespeichern für das Verteilnetz wurde im Electrosuisse Bulletin veröffentlicht.

Lint Barrage, what are the economic consequences of climate change?
Climate change is not just an environmental issue. Lint Barrage examines how it influences the global economy – and argues that the economic risks are already apparent today.
More speed needed
Three years ago, the institutions of the ETH Domain came together to actively promote decarbonisation in Switzerland through the Speed2zero initiative. The initiative has now come to an end, and project director Reto Knutti looks back at what was achieved.
Electric vehicles could catch on in Africa sooner than expected
A new study led by researchers at ETH Zurich and the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI in collaboration with African partners shows that electric vehicles could be economically competitive in many African countries before 2040 – just as long as charging infrastructure is developed and geared specifically towards solar powered off-grid systems.

Public Narratives and the Clean Energy Transition
Clean energy transitions depend on more than technology and costs. Public debate, media coverage, and political signaling shape how new energy technologies are perceived and adopted. The Energy Blog looks at three crucial recent examples to illustrate how public narratives have influenced clean energy deployment from household technologies to large-scale infrastructure and consumer decisions.
Towards integrating social science in energy system models
The workshop “CROSS-CoSi Scenarios”, co‑organised by the University of
Basel and ETH Zurich, brought together experts from social sciences and
energy‑systems analysis to explore how the human dimension can be better integrated into energy system modelling.
ESC welcomes Dr. Siobhan Powell as member
Dr. Siobhan Powell joins the Energy Science Center (ESC) as a new member of the competence center. She is a Senior Researcher in the Department of Management, Technology, and Economics (D-MTEC).
Powering Coffee Farms: Agriphotovoltaics for Energy Access and Climate Resilience in Sub-Saharan Africa
Coffee producers depend on reliable power for processing and irrigation, yet many rural farms remain off-grid and exposed to volatile diesel prices. A master’s project at ETH Zurich’s Power Systems Laboratory explores this challenge through the world’s first large-scale agriphotovoltaics concept for coffee cultivation. Focusing on Angola, the research shows that installing solar panels above coffee plants can deliver affordable electricity and climate resilience in one system.
Dr. Alejandro Nuñez-Jimenez joins the Energy Science Center (ESC) as a new member
The Energy Science Center (ESC) is very happy to welcome Dr. Alejandro Nuñez-Jimenez as a new member of the competence center. He is a Senior Researcher and Lecturer in the Department of Management, Technology, and Economics (D-MTEC).
