Is the "Dunkelflaute" a threat to energy security? Thomas Schöb (ICE-2 @Forschungszentrum Jülich) joined ARD Brisant to explain why robust design and backup capacities keep the system reliable.
Grounding the energy transition debate in evidence-based research.

BRISANT: Mehr Dunkelflauten in der kalten Jahreszeit - hier anschauen
Wenn die Sonne nicht scheint und der Wind nicht bläst, kann es im deutschen Stromnetz dunkel und flau werden. Droht ein Blackout?

Last week, Dr Jann Weinand visited ETH Zurich, giving a seminar on direct air capture in European energy systems and a lecture on FAIR research data, as part of our international research collaborations. Exchanges like these are central to how we advance energy systems analysis across borders.

Keine Sonne, kaum Wind: Dunkelflaute als Belastungstest der Energiewende | MDR.DE
Seit dem Wochenenende erleben wir die erste Dunkelflaute des Winters. Experten sehen darin keinen Grund zur Sorge – aber einen Hinweis darauf, wie dringend Deutschland flexible Kraftwerke braucht.
