As part of the event series RZ.NORDBEAT – the north is shaping the future! BIBA provides an insight into current research on the topic of energy flexibility.

Higher electricity consumption due to the electrification of value creation and rising energy costs are putting pressure on companies to do more than just purchase battery storage systems. With our demonstrator, you can take on the role of operations management and use models to examine the impact of various energy flexibility measures. Test which season is more profitable for generating electricity with your own solar modules than with wind energy, or explore the possibilities offered by modified production control.

We look forward to welcoming you to BIBA and discussing the advantages and challenges of energy flexibility. We also offer guided tours of the BIBA research hall, where you can learn more about our institute's current research and development priorities.

No registration is necessary – we look forward to seeing you between 2 and 6 p.m.! If you have any questions, please contact Markus Trapp.

The autumn internship at the “Technologiepark Uni Bremen” during the school vacations is very popular. Alongside other well-known institutions, BIBA is once again taking part with attractive offers - to inspire young people for engineering. The interns first get to know the participating companies and institutes and then dedicate themselves to project work at their host institutions.

This year, BIBA is once again providing exclusive insights into its current research and development projects. Our four internships are dedicated to the topics of circularity and mycelial composites. Here, young people learn how new materials are produced from natural residues and fungi that could enable a circular economy in various industries in the future, especially the packaging industry. By working in the laboratories and with the technical equipment, the interns learn about research topics and methods and are given the opportunity to apply them themselves. They will also design and produce their own mycelium products as part of the internship.

We are looking forward to working together with young researchers for a week!

In the interests of climate protection and the energy transition, production and logistics, as the largest consumers of primary energy, must be persuaded to rethink: Away from compensation payments, towards the use of renewable energies, the application of efficiency technologies and the formation of flexibility measures. In this context, the BIBA - Bremen Institute of Production and Logistics is conducting research into future value creation in production and logistics systems based on a sustainable product life cycle. Circular economy and energy are key success factors here.

During the guided tour of the BIBA research hall, we will explore the question of how climate-neutral, competitive production and logistics processes can be created and implemented in order to generate added value for society. The tour is offered by BIBA in cooperation with the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Bremen-Oldenburg and the Lilienthal Volunteer Agency.
