Our Vision

Energy systems have evolved from individual energy devices into complex integrated systems that have strong coupling between energy vectors across spatial and temporal scales.  Energy Systems Integration is the optimization of energy systems across these energy vectors and scales and it is most valuable at the interfaces where the coupling and interactions are strong and represent a challenge and/or an opportunity.  The control variables are technical, economic, and regulatory with a strong human dimension.   

Our Mission

The Joint Programme in Energy Systems Integration seeks to bring together research strengths across Europe to optimize our energy system, in particular by benefiting from the synergies between heating, cooling, electricity, renewable energy and fuel pathways at all scales. The energy elements of the water and transport system are also included as is the enabling data and control network that enables the optimization.
