Resilience Starts in Testing
We develop and test technologies that make energy and mobility resilient in the lab, in simulations, and in real-world operation. This turns research into the foundation for a secure energy transition.
Knowledge Creates Security
For us, research is not an end in itself, but a prerequisite for energy sovereignty, technological progress, and stable systems.
For Impact.
Our research creates value for the economy, environment, and society—today and tomorrow.
For Independence.
Development of technologies that make energy and mobility systems more resilient, efficient, and sovereign.
For Security.
Only systems that work reliably under extreme conditions secure tomorrow's supply.
For Progress.
Connecting research with practice for measurable improvements instead of theory.
Holistic and Practical
HDC connects research, development, and application, implementing both in a scientifically sound and industrial manner.
Systemic
We think of energy and mobility as a complete system: from simulation to control.
Integrated
We combine software, hardware, and manufacturing under one roof.
Application-Oriented & Transfer-Focused
We develop and test on real test benches, prototypes, and projects so that research shows immediate impact.
Cooperative
We ensure depth and relevance through collaboration with universities, research institutions, and industry partners.
For Systems That Endure
Our focus lies in areas crucial for the future of energy and mobility: stability, efficiency, and connectivity.
Resilient Hydrogen and Power Grids
Development of grid structures that balance fluctuations, prevent bottlenecks, and guarantee supply even under high volatility.
Sector Coupling & System Integration
Exploring the interaction of electricity, heat, and mobility for efficient overall systems and intelligent resource use.

From Research to Practice
Project findings flow directly into the further development of our technologies: from energy control with the THORIUM software to the optimization of hardware components like the pre-chamber spark plug.
Simulations, tests, and predictive models generate knowledge that immediately translates into practice. This turns research data into real progress for resilient, efficient, and secure energy and mobility systems.

Young Talent & Knowledge Transfer
We specifically promote young talent and supervise, together with universities, theses that connect theory and practice. The goal is to transfer knowledge into real developments early on.
One example: the simulation of a combined heat and power plant in hydrogen operation as a bachelor's thesis in our R&D department.
Keeping an Eye on the Future
We think ahead and continuously develop technologies into more powerful, secure, and resilient systems.
With EU initiatives and user feedback, we actively shape the next generation of resilient energy and mobility systems.
In Focus:
- Smart sector coupling
- Simulation of hydrogen processes
- Integration of sustainable heat strategies
- New methods for energy flow optimization
- Central control and protection functions for complex microgrids
- Approaches to signature reduction
