Research is undertaken into control and regulation of the electricity transmission grid and power production and into demand response.

The possibility of storing energy is a relatively new area. A condition for utilising very large amounts of renewable energy from wind, the Sun or waves is electricity storage over time.

Moreover there is a new possibility of utilising renewable energy for the transport sector by using electricity for transport. This is also a way to replace the fossil fuels, eg oil and gasoline, which are used for transport today.
