Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology UMSICHT
Energy Systems Engineering
A department in the field of energy
We develop and optimize energy plants and their applications by means of static and dynamic simulation as well as prototype/pilot plant construction and testing. Our range of services includes the customer-specific conception, calculation, design, planning and integration of energy plants as well as the creation and evaluation of technical concepts and industrial energy efficiency studies. We are pioneers of sustainable developments and reliable companions of industry and economy.

Flow simulation and turbomachinery
From our many years of experience in the development and optimization of tailor-made turbomachinery, we own, in addition to classic flow simulation tools, in-house design tools such as our CFD workflow for automated geometry optimization and a computing cluster with more than 400 cores.
Energy efficiency and renewable heat in industry
The energy transition policy specifies strict energy and CO2 savings targets. We support you in identifying and localizing savings potentials by holistic simulation of your energy supply system and in raising them by developing and realizing innovative processes. We advise and support you in designing or redesigning your supply system for the provision of process heat, towards a low-CO2 system through the integration of renewable heat.
Energy systems engineering
For us, research and development does not end at the laboratory door – we go further. We plan and set up test rigs and prototype systems in our technical center or in containerized on our test area. Moreover, we realize and test innovative prototype and pilot plants at the customer's site.
