Welcome to WAVE-H2
The adaptable, energy-flexible, and networked H2 industrial research platform
Discover WAVE-H2 — a pioneering research platform for hydrogen technologies. Our adaptable infrastructure, featuring the integration platform in Freudenstadt and innovation modules in Stuttgart, supports the transformation of industry toward sustainable and flexible energy solutions. Close interaction between these locations enables short development cycles and accelerates the implementation of new technologies. Discover how we are shaping the future of energy systems.
Services for technology developers
Connecting energy systems
Flexible, modular environments for testing connected energy systems — across sectors, regions, and applications. We bring together electricity, heat, and gases, integrate storage and demand, and explore how they interact under real-world, dynamic conditions.
Optimizing operations with AI
Intelligent algorithms and digital twins for efficiency, resilience, and cost-effectiveness. Using real-time data, we optimize operating strategies and control systems, assess costs and CO₂ emissions, and provide key metrics for operations and investment decisions.
Modular testing and expertise
Innovation infrastructure and data access — including digital twins and system interfaces. Partners use the platform for testing, benchmarking, and system upgrades, and benefit from expert support through to demonstration.
From research to application
Development, testing, and scaling of advanced hydrogen technologies for a carbon-free energy future. From the WAVE-H2 Campus Vaihingen to industrial implementation in Freudenstadt, we validate components and entire systems.
