Reiner Lemoine Institut

The RLI is an independent non-profit research institution that performs scientific research on the subject of renewable energy. The objective is to make a scientific contribution to the transformation of the energy system towards 100% RE. The main fields of research are “optimised energy systems”, which investigate future scenarios with high penetration of RE, “sustainable mobility” considering the integration of RE in mobility concepts and potentials and economics of “off-grid systems” in remote areas and islands. Core competencies of the RLI are energy system models and simulations that consider renewable resource data to calculate potential power generation in hybrid systems, mini-grids and regional to global grid areas.
