Research project
Solartanne- Mounting solutions for photovoltaic systems in exposed locations
The project aims to provide mounting solutions for low-cost, high-quality PV systems in exposed locations. The innovative system enables high winter electricity yields and thereby makes a significant contribution to a secure power supply in the winter months. The two active modules reinforce the construction and prevent…
Research project
ReWAX – Smaller heat pump dimensioning by X-to-Energy for peak load coverage
By using a peak load auxiliary heating system, oversizing of the heat pump can be avoided. Oil and gas peak load boilers are standard today but should be replaced in the future due to their CO2 emissions and measures to fight climate change. The utilization of biomass as an energy source is comparatively more complex and domestic…
Research project
V2Heff – Increasing the energy and cost efficiency of Vehicle to Home Solutions
With the increasing spread of photovoltaics and electromobility, bidirectional charging of electric vehicles is becoming more and more important. Especially in single-family homes, the implementation of vehicle-to-home (V2H) is much simpler and less complicated than vehicle-to-grid or feeding energy back into larger buildings.

ResulTES – Reliable pre-feasibility and design tool for quick assessment of large TES integrated with renewable energy sources and DHN
The analysis of the integration of large TES in District Heating Networks (DHNs) and renewable sources requires dynamic simulation to address the fluctuating behaviour of sources and sinks. The development of dynamic simulation energy system models requires experience, data for validation, and, above all, it is time-consuming. The…
Research project
Innosuisse Flagship Greenhub
The "GreenHub" project is one of a total of eight large-scale flagship projects of the Swiss Innovation Agency (Innosuisse). Together with 16 research partners, the consortium led by OST is pursuing a clear goal: the development of systemic and innovative approaches for the production, conversion and storage of renewable energy…
Research project
ENSURE - Preventing extreme situations in the local power grid with chemical reactors
The ENSURE project is investigating various extreme situations that may occur in local grids in the future and ways of avoiding them. The focus is on the expected peak loads and issues relating to grid stability. The aim is to analyse which flexibilities and requirements new sector coupling technologies such as Power-to-X and…
