KIT tests the sectoral coupling of energy systems
The SEKO research project is being launched at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). It is intended to test the interconnection of electricity, heat, mobility or material energy sources in the real laboratory.

SEKO consists of four subprojects: the electricity subproject will investigate the coupling of heat pumps and electric vehicles with photovoltaic systems by integrating electricity storage systems. The gas subproject will investigate the interplay between gas and heat grids, while taking into account an energy-intensive industrial process as well as the dynamics of power-to-gas processes. The heat/cold subproject looks into methods for generating heat load curves for buildings and the conversion of electricity into heat (power-to-heat). Finally, in the sector coupling subproject, researchers will work on the overarching interconnection of the various systems at the level of information and communication technology.
