Research focus
The scientific backbone of CET is to pursue research within renewable energy technologies, in order to:
- Combine a large number of data from experiments with (applied) science for understanding the processes in scientific and practical problems.
- Design science research (understanding, analysing, systematising frameworks to determine the design of socio-technological development).
- Map analytical tools to understand technologies in companies and society from a socio-technical perspective
- Apply an open approach to technology in the context of changes and the ability to support diversity with combinations of existing and novel technologies into new opportunities.
- Examine energy management processes with a particular focus on governance of technical development and operations processes in the view of support of complex and changing technologies in companies.
- Ensure the involvement of relevant organisational and economic aspects in concrete design, implementation and operation of technology driven business solutions.
Objectives
The group's main objectives are to:
- Pursue and publish research within renewable energy technologies as consisting of the energy modelling, innovation, socio-technical systems, energy planning, digitalization and technological development.
- Contribute to the engineering study programmes at BTECH/AU. In particular to support the MSc in Engineering study programme (cand.polyt.).
- Build bridges to private companies and public institutions with technology and socio-technological solutions.
Visions
The main visions of the CET research group are to:
- Contribute/support the engineering study programmes at BTECH/AU with research-based teaching.
- Become an attractive research project partner for national and international research groups.
- Support private companies and public institutions with technology and socio-technological solutions.
- Profiling and positioning the engineering education in the business community in Denmark and among students in national and international environments.
- Create a vibrant environment for the talent development of final-stage MSc students, PhD students, postdocs and assistant professors.
The research group vision is to connect these five visions in various labs where students, researchers and industry can collaborate.
