Project objective

There is an increasing focus on the sustainability and future viability of large research infrastructures, such as particle accelerators. Currently, a comprehensive energy management approach for these energy-intensive facilities is missing. The scientific objective of this proposal is therefore to study, develop, and test new energy solutions for an energy-efficient and stable operation of such facilities. A flexibly deployable energy model will be developed. In combination with the KIT real world test field KITTEN (joining infrastructures KARA & Energy Lab) for its experimental validation, this would be absolutely unique worldwide. The proposed research program aims at a leading national and a highly visible international position, which will be supported by efforts to acquire a SFB/TRR with TU Darmstadt.
