Publication details
The results of the National Research Programmes “Energy Turnaround” (NRP 70) and “Managing Energy Consumption” (NRP 71) are summarised under the title “National Research Programme Energy”.
The synthesis on the main topic of “Energy Networks” provides overriding findings from the results of around 20 research projects and complementary studies of the “National Research Programme Energy”: it also derives key messages and specific recommendations for action. This synthesis makes a scientific contribution to the opinion-forming process, the political and specialist debate as well as the planning of strategies and measures for the transformation of the energy system against the backdrop of Switzerland’s Energy Strategy 2050.
This synthesis is based on the results from the research conducted in the NRP “Energy”. It therefore does not make any statements on aspects that were not researched within the framework of this programme even in cases in which these aspects would be important for providing an overall view. Any gaps thus arise from the specific research portfolio of the NRP “Energy”.
Responsibility for the results of the research projects lies with the respective research teams. The thematic synthesis “Energy Networks” is the responsibility of the author. His assessments and recommendations for action do not necessarily have to correspond to those of the members of the NRP 70 and NRP 71 Steering Committees, the echo group, the Swiss National Science Foundation or the research teams.
