The research group “Data Integration and Processing (DIP)” develops innovative solutions for the sovereign and sustainable handling of energy-relevant data - from raw data acquisition to its integration and intelligent use. Our aim is to provide a reliable database for research, industry, local municipalities and politics.
One focus is on the development of modern data platforms and data spaces that enable the cross-sectoral exchange of energy data - open, secure and interoperable. The focus is on open data and structured, FAIR-compliant research data management: we develop concepts and tools that make research data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable. In this way, we create the basis for transparency, reuse and collaborative research in the energy sector.
To ensure data quality, we rely on automated data integration, validation and standardization processes. This is supplemented by the use of artificial intelligence, in particular large language models (LLMs), to efficiently analyze heterogeneous data sets, semantically index them and make them usable in context.
Another field of application is the Internet of Things (IoT): here we analyze sensor data from energy infrastructures in real time, link it with other data sources and make it accessible via our platforms - also as open data wherever possible.
Our work combines application-oriented research with active involvement in shaping national and European data strategies. We drive cultural and technical change towards open, data-driven energy research - transparent, collaborative and innovation-promoting.
