+**Overview and Research Question**: <span dir="">The joint project with ewi Cologne analyses local energy markets as a link between the regional and central energy transition. The HFT Stuttgart sub-project is concerned with the model-based analysis of regional energy generation systems on the basis of the SimStadt simulation platform. EnSys-LE examines the question of how local and national energy systems relate to each other. The potential for renewable energies is analysed for four representative districts in Germany and compared with the national targets for renewable energies.</span>
+
+**Result**: <span dir="">The aim of the HFT project was to expand the SimStadt simulation environment, which has been continuously developed since 2012, with new parameters and technologies that are essential for analysing regional energy systems. In particular, workflows for analysing regional potentials for ground-mounted photovoltaics and onshore wind power were developed and the cost parameters in the workflow for rooftop photovoltaics were updated. In a neighbouring project, a workflow for assessing regional bioenergy potentials was also developed.</span>
+
+<span dir="">This means that it is now possible to determine the potential of all renewable energies relevant to a German region within SimStadt at a high spatial resolution on the basis of a standardised, geoinformatic database and to compare this with the electricity and heating requirements of this region determined at an equally high spatial resolution. In addition, the project analysed land use conflicts in detail using the example of bioenergy and ground-mounted photovoltaics.</span>
+
+<span dir="">The successful coupling of SimStadt with the models of the project partner ewi (Institute of Energy Economics at the University of Cologne) also made it possible to extend the model framework from the comparison of regional potentials and requirements (SimStadt) to a regionally optimised energy system (COMODO) on the one hand and the comparison and reflection of the modelling results in a supra-regional framework (DIMENSION) on the other.</span>
