Methods

The "Intelligent Hybrid Heating Technologies" working group uses a range of scientific methods to achieve its research objectives:

• Experimental studies: Extensive experimental studies are carried out in the pilot plant to analyze and optimize the behavior of hybrid heating systems under different operating conditions.
• Simulations: Computer simulations are used to model and predict the behavior of heating systems.
• Data analysis
• Prototype development: Prototypes of new heating technologies and components are designed, constructed and tested to demonstrate their feasibility and performance.
• Optimization algorithms: Optimization algorithms are used to determine optimal operating parameters of heating systems, taking into account various objectives such as increasing efficiency, minimizing costs or reducing emissions.
• Literature research and studies: Thorough literature research and studies are used to understand the current state of the art, identify best practices and derive new research approaches.
