The young company, which emerged from research work at the TUHH, is thus successfully continuing its growth trajectory. <\/p><p> <\/p><h4>Important contribution to the energy transition<\/h4><p>With the cloud-based software suena opt, suena has developed a solution for the techno-economically optimized operation of large-scale battery storage systems, solar parks and wind farms. The software creates operating schedules in real time, integrates forecasting models and AI and enables the simultaneous use of multiple markets and applications. The aim is to increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of energy storage systems, facilitate the integration of renewable energies and reduce the ageing of batteries. With this solution, the start-up is making an important contribution to the energy transition and to making the European energy markets more flexible.   <\/p><p>The company was founded in 2021 by TUHH alumni Dr. Lennard Wilkening, Miguel Wesselmann and Tom Witter. It was supported in its start-up process by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tuhh.de\/startupport\/startseite-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Startup Port@TUHH<\/a> start-up center and by programs such as the EXIST start-up grant. <\/p><p> <\/p><h4>Scaling and further pilot projects<\/h4><p>As a first step, the company intends to use the funds from Series A to further develop the software, scale it to the European market and expand the team. Further pilot projects with operators of large storage facilities and energy suppliers are also being planned. Together with the investors Eneco Ventures and 4impact capital as well as the existing partners InnoEnergy, J.O.S.S., Santander Asset Management and Energie 360\u00b0, suena is determined to overcome boundaries and discover new opportunities on the path to the energy transition.  <\/p><p> <\/p><h4>Successfully transitioning from science to business<\/h4><p>The success of suena shows once again how scientific research can be translated into marketable innovations. At the same time, it shows the importance of targeted start-up support from organizations such as <a href=\"https:\/\/startupport.de\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Startup Port<\/a> for the transfer of ideas from university to industry. <\/p><p>Suena energy is also representative of the growing importance of deep-tech start-ups from the world of science, which are economically successful and at the same time drive forward key issues for the future such as a sustainable energy supply.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Hamburg-based start-up suena energy has raised 8 million euros in a Series A financing round.
