Master's thesis »Cascaded use of deep geothermal energy«
The Fraunhofer Society is one of the world's leading organisations for application-oriented research. 74 institutes develop groundbreaking technologies for our economy and society – more precisely: 30 000 people from technology, science, administration and IT. You know, who comes to Fraunhofer wants and can change something. For yourself, for us and the markets of today and tomorrow. We want an earth on which it is worth living. Our applied research in Circular Economy, Carbon Management, Green Hydrogen and Local Energy Systems contributes to achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. As an institute of the Fraunhofer Society, we show how to master challenges not only, but grow on them. We move borders, keep thinking and shape the future with applied research. Various perspectives and approaches strengthen creativity and innovation in our scientific work. You want to create a sustainable world with us? We're looking for backup! The Applied Thermodynamics working group researches energy-technical supply systems such as the high-temperature heat pump on an industrial scale and, together with industrial partners, develops climate-neutral energy supply concepts for production sites, in particular from the food, chemical and paper industries. The topics focus on the thermodynamic analysis and simulation of energy systems and systems as well as the integration of renewable sources. .
