Research association for renewable energies
The Research Association for Renewable Energies (FVEE) is a collaborative project between various research institutes based in Berlin . The purpose is nationwide cooperation between research institutes. These research and develop technologies for renewable energies , energy efficiency , energy storage and the optimized technical and socio-economic interaction of all system components. The aim is to transform the energy supply into a sustainable energy system. It was established in 1990.
