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 X-to-Power must provide in order to actively contribute to peak smoothing and grid stability.

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 into environmentally friendly liquid fuels using raw materials supplied, for example, by waste incineration plants.
