AI methods deliver high-resolution synthetic load time series

Load time series that map the increasingly dynamic consumption of many households far more accurately than standard load profiles are more and more needed. The Fraunhofer IEE and its partners in the SyLas-KI research project have therefore developed an AI-supported tool that can be used to create high-resolution synthetic load time series for numerous different consumers. 

 

Press Release I 20th of June, 2024

Zero-emission trucks

A new Fraunhofer ISI study analysed future cost developments for price-setting components of zero-emission trucks from more than 200 sources. The study findings show that zero-emission trucks will benefit from rapidly falling costs of batteries and fuel cells, which will enable their fast market diffusion and help to achieve national and international climate policy targets. With battery-electric trucks as currently most promising and cost-effective zero-emission technology for most use cases.
