Research & Innovation
In an era where the vision of decentralized and sustainable energy supply is reshaping our cities and living spaces, the need to explore innovative supply concepts has become increasingly urgent. At the heart of this transformation are direct current (DC) power supply systems for homes, facilities, and entire districts, enabling efficient and low-loss energy distribution—from individual household solutions to neighborhood-scale supply networks.
A key research focus lies in the development of self-sufficient cities and municipalities that secure their independence from fossil energy sources through local energy generation from photovoltaics, small wind turbines, or biomass, as well as intelligent DC grids. These concepts aim to fully replace fossil fuels, thereby achieving energy self-sufficiency for entire regions.
Parallel to this, Dr. Lari is exploring new approaches to energy storage that ensure continuous supply even when renewable energy generation fluctuates. From solid-state batteries and hydrogen storage to thermal storage systems—these technologies are crucial for the stability and resilience of future energy systems.
In practice, Dr. Lari supports every construction project and initiative with a detailed research agenda tailored to these innovative energy concepts. The insights gained from realized projects—ranging from microgrid planning to storage integration—form the foundation for future work and enable the continuous advancement of these forward-looking technologies.
